second talking stage I've ever had made me realize;;; IM NOT MADE FOR THIS!!!! I have no idea how to talk to men and that is that!

When I read about in reputable , I relate to almost everything that is described (keeping in mind that no two autistic people are alike). However, I always read the sections on with bewilderment. I don't identify either with the obsessive need to make eye contact, which UK and US books often mention as behavior, or with the difficulties in making it.

I suspect—and this is the interesting part—that there are significant cultural differences in this regard. In fact, the reputable Spanish books on autism that I have read don't address this topic (if I remember correctly).

Unless I am attracted to the person I almost never maintain eye contact while talking to them. I’m from Greece btw, doing eye contact is normal, I see others do it, so I diverge there.

…

Definitely people here do intense full locked eye contact, which I can’t do, unless I’m attracted to the person as I said. Even then I’ll move a bit around the face because it’s uncomfortable even then. But others just lock in completely I see them doing it.

OK. I guess that Greece may be similar to Spain. I feel comfortable hanging with greeks, in Greece and elswhere. Then, if I don't look at the eyes, but others do. I guess that I'm very good at masking that I don't look at the eyes. I never got a comment related to eye contact.

I don’t think it’s something people notice immediately and consciously think this is wrong to make a comment, they will probably just not feel the same connection or feel something is off about you in general or think that you’re busy thinking other things. It’s not the only case to not make eye contact with someone, you might just not like them. That’s probably what they will sense.

This is probably the right answer. I guess I have to forget about it. The kids I think about it the better.

I’ve never posted a lot on social medias. I hope I have a good time here!

crush-tui: A lightning fast, terminal-first dating app written in rust. supports custom themes!

This is actually a hilarious idea

…

i thought of it more as satire :D but anything goes

Searched, found some ai agent. Crush-tui is a must but how to bring girls there?

…

make random cards and place them everywhere!!!! or it can be le lgbtq

besides a few nerdy girls, thats not happening :D this is either gonna be grindr for devs or you gotta build a tui for an existing app.

Yello folks!

hey! welcome :)

hi

I though textlog was a gonner there. It was several hours with just a 502 response. Glad to see it's back!

I messaged stagas on reddit about it when it went down lol

I'm certainly glad it's still around, I just got here.

Love the flat option for threads Edit: didn’t realise that was the old style. Hahaha

Hello loggers

Sharing your work with others is a hard computer science problem in 2026, the Year of our Lord. You either here the sound of chirping crickets or the sound of "AI Slop" yells.

My past 3 projects went viral. I didn’t write a single line of code in any of them. But I still feel I engineered them. There were a few people that noticed but the majority didn’t see an issue.

You're fortunate in that you've genuinely captured something that people clearly want with textlog. No one wants another static site generator or coding harness. Ideas that resonate are pretty few and far between now.

…

I should have said past 4 projects went viral but the other one I did a lot of coding too, so wasn’t entirely “AI slop”. In all cases though, I made something I wanted to see. It just happened to resonate with others. Still, none of them extremely popular yet. All <500 users.

Experiences of life spring from the contrasts.

Sunk cost fallacy is no longer applicable in the age of . Now you can do broad changes without second thought, u can always revert back, without incurring the cost of doing so, since it’s all done so quickly and effortlessly.

I think it will still apply, just perhaps to a lesser degree. Kind of related to I wrote recently (not to shamelessly plug my stuff 🫣)

…

Nice read! Thanks for sharing!

My biggest problem nowadays is realizing that the coding was never the real problem, it was always lack of domain knowledge, lack of specs or just conflicting visions.

Why did the scarecrow keep winning all the awards? It was out standing in its field.

I dislike using aliases. I prefer fish shell like history search, fzf integration better.
