You don’t understand! Yes, we had to turn our citizens into resources for private companies to harvest and sell! But we needed to create shareholder value!

I don't even know nothing about the customization. I just create a page and dump links, pictures and some typing in there.
But yes! Small, incremental change!
For digital rabbit holes, something like Notion helps a lot. I have one page per interest and I collect learnings and links related to the topic in there. Similarly to the physical buckets, they are all in one space so you can have a quick look at refresh your memory and pick up where you left off.
I’ve stopped giving myself a hard time for having wandering interests and not finishing anything.
I try to look at it more as I’m having fun researching and implementing things, that’s what hobbies are for.
Trying to force myself to finish things really sucked the fun out of them. Now I have literal and figurative buckets for each project so I can easily put down and pick up projects.
I find myself moving between fewer projects and putting more effort into them than I would have before.
I do keep some buckets closer than others, so I’m more likely to pick those up when I have free time;
Drawing
Designing fidget toys
Electronics project C
But modern shareholders have a policy of jumping on the AI bandwagon. Line must go up!
For me, I’ll hop onto a new git branch and start renaming functions and variables to what they actually do.
I might drag some blocks of code out into new functions, just a real rough refactor to get both the flow and my understanding of each block in place.
Big if conditions get their own function, named what the intent is.
I work in Xcode, so we can add extra context to breakpoints. I recently discovered the bookmarks that are built in, and you can annotate them too!
Make a change, start from the top and make sure it reads ok and still makes sense.
It’s eating an elephant on repeat.
We’re all* going to need to come together and really knuckle down, if we’re* to catch up with out competitors. It will take sacrifice* and grit.
But together* we* can do it!
*The people affected will be those with a net worth less than €5m
