I went sick. So enough Nostr until things get better. #blog

I developed my first pet-project in 2017. It's an arcade Unity game with custom level maps, logic of collecting items etc (

). In the previous year I made interactive YTPs and I was more into crafting videos and animations. However I started my web dev career in 2019. It's interesting to see how hobbies can predate the next epoch. #blog #life #slowlife #softwareengineer #programming

Slow life is not the same as depressive poor life. Though they both share slow average tempo of life. For slow life to work you need at least internal integrity with good health and safety. #slowlife #blog

Enough Nostr for this week.

Low wit: always chooses simple solution Mid wit: always builds a new solution High wit: prefers simple solution over building solution, prefers building solution otherwise #blog #thoughts #intelligence

If you're not a trillionaire before your cells grow in number of 256, your life is wasted... #blog #humour #fatalism

How do you stay persistent in a long (and hard) path? Ordered life maximizes efficiency. Although it bores and demotivates quickly. At least for me and creative friends. But I neither favor chaotic life, because it has too low persistence for many things. Some things need high persistence and focus in order to develop them. For example, I can't develop and test feature X quickly because it relies on complex logic, it needs design which is about to develop in one week, UI code is one of things which can't be generated efficiently. So I probably need to save my work in a way, which can easily be continued later. Also for this reason software engineers have design patterns: it's easier to place modular bricks together, than to place brick in entangled labyrinth. But too much depth of patterns leads to "over-engineering": it's a situation when you spend much more on coding than on implementing a feature. So depth of design patterns correlates with instrinsic complexity of feature and delegation of work. But there are other, non-technical ways to "save and continue" progress. Diary. I can write what I've done this day, which insights I've had this day, what to do next day, and then read it. So that short and mid term memory keeps a track with long and persistent path, which can be detalized, glued, executed, rewarded etc. in progress. It's like a very small friend. Old but good. #blog #thoughts #pesistence #work #diary #slowlife

I love siestas. #blog #slowlife #life

I love slow life and I sometimes can do hustle. Sometimes not. I just love meaningful and exciting life. However I used to see these concepts as contradictory. #blog #thoughts #slowlife #philosophy

Back in 2018 I felt how stupid I was back in 2012. Now I feel how stupid I was back in 2018. #blog #life

I love this slice of Software Engineering cake! #softwareengineering #softwaredevelopment #programming #blog #thoughts #meme #memes

But I love hierarchical typologies of thinking. Just like I love math and linguistic classes in a school. Just like I love LeetCode for learning programming. Just like I love Medium articles on front-end development with common patterns. #blog #thoughts #thinking #hierarchy

It's funny to see how complexity of thinking is reduced to hierarchical typologies of many degrees. I could add 100, 1000, 10_000 etc. more layers to hierarchy - it still can be navigated in 2D manner. It is a 3D brain with feedback loops which develop in time, and development has many possibilities, and these possibilities are influenced from self-reflection on interaction with environment... And is it reduced to hierarchical typology? Seriously? Even physical deterministic reduction is funny. Even probablistic modelling reduction is funny. #blog #thoughts #thinking

Many people may ask something like: "how does cooking relate to programming which is your career and passion? how does your philosophical speech relate to it either?". Actually side hobbies help me in developing programming skills, when current abstract understanding hits a wall. For example, cooking activated more clarity for multitasking/parallel programming in me. Idk how this works. Brain is wonderful. And philosophical posts are a form of reflection and leisure. And reflection is essential to understand software development at different levels: from coding to architecture to business. Not everything is effectively implemented solely at code or architecture level tho. #blog #thoughts #programming #softwaredevelopment #softwareengineering #hobbies #leisure

I love cooking and recently I've made up a modification of original French puree (my favorite cozy dish for dinner), when I could not find a leek on local markets. The recipe is as follows: 1. Boil and then smash potatoes in the same way as in original puree. 2. The dressing is what differentiates my recipe from original recipe. Melt the butter until it starts to boil. Then fry and stir one or two heads of garlic for 2 minutes. 3. Turn off fire. Then add 200 ml of 3.2-6% milk to the mix as in the original puree. And mix it. 4. Then add this mix to the smashed potatoes and further smash it. As in the original recipe. 5. Then add black pepper and sea salt and mix it. #blog #cooking #recipe #cozy #cozydish #puree #potatoes #frenchcuisine #creativecooking

I think that the "hustle only" culture is a big meme based on spatial-temporal reduction of real growth and high trust distribution of resources. It's a meme forced by those who have better initial conditions than poor people. And thus it is a rationalization of the hamster-in-the-wheel type of work like: "we are rich because we work so hard and so efficiently". #blog #thoughts #hustle #culture #work
