  • This works. I had to move to a horse farm w/o internet a few years ago. Would drive 1hr to the local library with spotty 5Mbps where I would download/cache as many npm packages as I could, then drive back to the farm. Hours would pass with absolutely nothing to do and after a few days I got so bored that "coding something" sounded really fun. I wrote the most interesting code I've ever written there and was insanely productive even while being drunk most of the time. The internet and big cities have too much crappy dopamine. I'm just waiting for my lease to run out before moving to the woods under some Starlink coverage and never talking to anyone again. 🤤 Update: I just noticed he is a TikTok sex symbol. 🤦‍♂️

  • Ben, as an ex-Microsoft employee, the Ballmer Peak was an interesting concept ;) Interesting looking at the kitchen and all the empty bottles lining the counter tops. Interesting given i was working in SQL, the one department i was in my "little" team had about 250, interesting of those only 10 were u.s. citizens originally, think i was the one odd ball, i went to public school. Then again most of the really really smart people talking with them, none of them ever drank even on drop of the magical Ballmer elixir. Either way ,best day ever was when he left MS, my 3500 shares of MSFT went from 27/share to 340. YAY!
