When I stopped having a job I completely lost interest of huge portion of things I used to have interest before. I could connect all of that to consumerism. And I haven't gained any of that interest back.

Is it because you could no longer afford these things and had to budget?

I quit knowing I am financially ok. (I was likely burnt out, had to leave a place I greatly loved but I still left). I still can't exactly explain this.

Sounds like it was a gut feeling, I hope it works out for you, and in the meantime, you discover new passions. But I understand, unemployment leads to feelings of apathy.
I HEARD A GREAT HORNED OWL. one of my birding goals is to see any owl outside a zoo. I just moved here and the lack of birds near our home has made me sad. but hearing this owl was such a fun surprise tonight.

Thatโs awesome.
Thereโs an owl (donโt know type) that hangs out at the playground in our neighborhood at night. First time I saw it, I stood frozen in place, amazed that it would be out in the open.
Then as I walked away, I kept looking behind me, realizing Iโd never hear it coming if it decided to engage ๐ฆ

Do you code in silence or do you listen to music? If so, what kind of music do you prefer? Personally, I prefer Synthwave, vaporwave or the occasional country.

I can recommend rainwave.cc if you want an online radio for video game music. I tend to hang around there quite often and listen to their chiptune station.
depends on my mood and inner state
sometimes just silence
sometimes background from mynoise .net
sometimes a punk rock web radio
sometimes my music collection (I stream myself, that's right). mostly punk rock again.

Started with vim but felt limited, especially when doing heavy Julia visualisation work. Now in emacs and it's been smooth-sailing. Also, emacs + typst is amazing.

I think reading helps quite a bit, especially writing about what youโve read, even to yourself, just so you can go through the process of having to explain something that youโre only recently familiar with. Thereโs something about that process that seems to be helpful, at least to me.
@prtys๐คกprofilefollowreplied to@crustyrustaceanprofilefollowOld school metallian, hobbyist developer writing things mostly in Rustโฆmostly:
Same.
The way I consume information influences how I think. Short form content makes my thinking fragmented without a clear structure. I feel that fragmented thinking won't lead to convincing writing. And I'm trying to regain some of that lost control.

Very interesting! I think something along those lines might be happening for me too.
Another aspect, always cooking in the back of my mind, "if you can't explain it well, don't explain it at all."

The fear of being bad at it is the only thing holding you back. I experienced something like that with playing music with others. Perhaps you could learn to lay down your critical brain during the creation process and that good/bad isn't a useful distinction until later when you're editing your work.

Yeah, this is pretty much what I can't do. My critical brain has a lot of power. It's very evolved at this point :/

Everyone has the power now to make their own stacks of things.
The people aspect of open source is dead or dying. I don't think the bunny is going back in the box.

One nice thing about Open Source (at least for me) is different people doing the same thing in different ways and one of those happen to suit my taste perfectly. And in many cases, I won't be able to come with it myself even with Super Intelligence.

Evgeny Morozov has pointed out that using ai through chat interfaces is based on an individualised and privatised model, which (heavily paraphrased) is inherently anti-social.
With an extra layer now of people making small personalised tools, do bigger things still need teams of people who know what theyโre doing?
FWIW Iโd like to see more sharing of vibe coded tools instead of everyone making their own more less the same ones. Mine are here: pauladams.neocities.org

I don't think so. I have been using more open source software than ever before.
You may argue that with LLMs I have the power to make my own stack of things, but this doesn't eliminate that I still need knowledge to properly steer an LLM to create something worthwhile.
If I have no knowledge of what I intend to build, the best thing the LLM will generate is a half-assed copy of something that already exists. Which is what we have been drowning in the past couple of years.
@hippo๐ฆprofilefollowStrictly no LLMs. No exceptions.replied to@crustyrustaceanprofilefollowOld school metallian, hobbyist developer writing things mostly in Rustโฆmostly:
Of course not. I think it is much more relevant to ask "Is closed source dead?".
Anyone can now replace a proprietary program with a vibeslopped alternative which might suit them just as well. It will have the same level of trust (ie. none) and none of the other drawbacks.
