Learned helplessness is a psychological state in which a person or animal stops trying to escape or change a negative situation after repeatedly experiencing stress or failure.
Giving your energy to # few things for so long that you don't even realize how much you've been starving everything else of what it also needs.
Quantitative reasoning was the only subject in primary school that actually trained logic and pattern identification. It's too bad they took it out of the curriculum.
People are now flooding the timeline with free resources for learning tech skills out of spite for an organization that allegedly didn't disclose that the scholarship they were offering required an application fee.
...but the truth is, people who spend heavy emotional energy judging others for being careless or lighthearted are often secretly resentful of that freedom. They've placed such a heavy, rigid weight on their own life that seeing others move lightly feels like a personal offense.
I was thinking about someone I hadn't seen or thought about for years. I couldn't even remember their name, opened social media and their profile came up. So I can't prove it, but I think you're right.
Q: I'm pressed for time and I need to get up and running, how deep do I really need to learn this technology?
A: Take your time if you can. If you can't, learn enough to build a reliable mental model of the system so you know where to debug when bugs show up.
Religious psychosis affects both sides. The insiders are too deep to see they're trapped, and their critics are too obsessed with pointing out the fanatic behavior of the insiders to realize that they are being pulled into the same loop.
Both sides need to step back and wake up.
Dropping your PC screen brightness by 40% at night will help you work longer. Sorry for sharing this.

Just a few years ago, management could comfortably wait out a two-week sprint to get a feature shipped.
Today, there’s growing impatience when a feature takes more than 24 hours to deliver. 🥲
The pressure on software engineers right now is crazy, and I don’t think we’re talking about it enough.
I can barely get two sentences into explaining my implementation plan before someone interrupts with:
“Just give it to Claude to do!”
“Sir, we need to think about…”
“That’s what Claude is there for. Let it do the heavy lifting!”
A task gets assigned, and barely 10 minutes later:
“Why is it taking so long? Aren’t you using Claude properly? This should take a minute or two!”
Somehow, the existence of AI has created this assumption that software engineering is now just a matter of writing a prompt and watching features magically appear.
Nobody wants to hear about architecture, edge cases, testing, security, or the implications of a poorly thought-out implementation.
Just ship it. And ship it NOW.
AI has become both a blessing and a curse.
Something I genuinely expected to reduce my workload has instead increased it. The productivity gains are real, but so are the expectations that come with them.
We’ve made development faster, but somehow, we’ve also made every delivery feel slower.
And that’s the irony nobody seems to be talking about.
Omo mehn, I’m just exhausted, might as well just resign, but it seems it’s the same everywhere😪
These AI-generated videos are getting wild. Creators are using all that creative power to depict intense human cruelty. Just endless, rage-bait AI sitcoms raising both the newer and older generation to live in a fear and anger based simulator.
Watch what you consume.
