Take a step < back, and up ^. Refocus. +/-

You've got skills, use them somewhere else. Keep talking with your friends at devRant, we've got your back.

That is insane. Trading time for <x> amount of dollars is not ideal. We need to figure out the fairness problem with realistic equity sharing.

"slightly major" cracks me up

I am just glad you have devrant.*, and it's not pmrant.biz

It looks like a bowl of Fruit Loops

Opera is fast. I have been using the new Brave web browser and it's great.

Spotify works well enough and I side load anything they don't have...like Tool.

Good job! Have fun!

There is no shortage of problems to solve in this world. Thank you and good luck.

Tough stuff. It's like your trying to dig a tunnel through a mountain with a screwdriver, right? All that happens is frustration, anger, and depression, and yeah...that is painful. I can say this because I have been there.

I highly recommend you start walking 1 hour a day, anywhere, and don't track it, time it, or consider the time data...just go out and enjoy it, especially in the sunshine (because you probably desperately need Vitamin D). Walking will help you reduce screen time, produce endorphins, reduce adrenaline and cortisol, which will lead to you sleeping better.

Without sleep, you are damaging your body, simple as that. If you keep doing what you are doing you will go mad eventually.

May the Force be with you

Concentrate on solving real problems, seeing needs and filling needs. The​ code is your tool and you will learn all sorts of languages and technologies.
Try working with Raspberry Pi or some robotics project to have some problems to figure out. Plus, it is fun.

@Cyanite sounds awesome...maybe we should get a Kickstarter going? Stranger things have happened :)

// also an awesome Netflix series

Sadly and happily this is me too :/

Love the outdoors and love developing, designing, writing, and learning...what we need is a laptop with a bad-ass, super-fast, color e-ink display. That would be sick!

Thanks @VenomCLC I love simple things.

sorry, couldn't help it

in more ways than one...

@trogus @Photon156 I was thinking something like this...

Our dev team uses Slack (free), and the company has Teams because of Office 365, but most people use Skype for Business.

Slack is too expensive for Enterprise ($12.50 per seat per month). Teams has a bunch of cool integrations such as SharePoint, Power BI, Word, etc...lot's of MS stuff...It even has a dark theme.

There's a lot of others...I have felt that IRC was and is great, classic. Google Hangouts is cool, Gitter is okay. HipChat might be good for all the Atlassian integrations, never used it though.

Here's a decent list to peruse:

@theothergod yep, Budgie does leverage a lot of GTK tech. But starting with version 11 the team is going with QT.

Good blog post here about the deGNOMEing of Budgie and the choosing of QT.

Good stuff...And you have to try Solus. It is an amazing distro.

Congrats! I could seriously use some stress relief myself...ugh.

@tisaconundrum rock on!
And everytime I see this I think of green bar paper and dot matrix printers.

@willbeddow agreed, those are such great headphones

@Noob I thoroughly enjoyed this read. Thanks for sharing. The standing story was classic and I especially liked the echo blowing away all his hard work. Live and learn.

Engineering is always critical, like any science should be. But I have to agree...ass overflow does seem to have a disproportionate amount of academic belligerence...yet I still use it and need it.
