When I was 10, I thought I'd be a scientist
I wanted to tinker in a lab, doing something with beakers and bunsen burners
Making a difference.
As an adult, I sit in meetings and discuss who to fire next
I tinker with spreadsheets, doing something with LLMs and JIRA
Be enthusiastic

As young kid I dreamed of working with reel-to-reel machines
Cutting/splicing tape, happy accidents
As a teen I couldn't afford reel-to-reel but got decent with multi-track cassettes
Everyone was telling me digital was The Way (tm)
In my 30s, I finally learned how to use a DAW properly
In my 40s, I'm back to playing around with multi-tracks cassettes
There is no money in it, but I'm enthusiastic as I can be
(this is not so much as direct response as simply a response)

being a student is great but the tasks are really quite boring. ive worked in academia now a little bit and its genuinely much more fun to work on something real, read papers, do experiments and write. Now i have these last few exams to get through and i cant care for them like i used to.

Big holiday today in Greece, bells ringing, bands singing, people gathered in the village, eating, enjoying life and I'm spending it inside coding. I don't feel bad and I'm not #antisocialnotesfollow, it's just that I'm a bit odd. I don't like these forced gatherings. Feel stressful.
Turned Stepper (self-hosted AWS StepFunctions) into client-server. Server hosts state machines, clients poll for tasks. New resources about running #claudenotesfollow. claude -p works, now thinking if I need interactive session management.
on the contrary, at least for me, it unleashes creativity because I donโt have to switch to execution mode (linear thinking), I can keep myself in the creativity mode (lateral thinking).

There are two kinds of suffering. One which you run from, and it follows you everywhere. And there is suffering you face directly, and in doing so become free.

So damn insightful.
