overthinking is anticipating the nth order effect of an action or lack thereof.

overthinking often collapses to a delusion. then, emotional turmoil.

instead, how about we try to stack actions that seem to yield only positive growth regardless of feedbacks leading to different nth order effects?

then, we're just indirectly limiting decisions to 1st order effects only make things easier on the mind. This curtails overthinking & its negative effects by several orders.

Not speaking for positive effects of overthinking cuz it's not productive 😅 for me.

For the long term, it's important to know what is actually going on because a project is subject to modifications and extensions.

Speaking of extensions and modifications, vibe coding on the other hand calls for complete rewrite and, though A.I could eventually do a complete rewrite to support further updates. It feels we're disrespecting the G.P.U.s and resources to get things done in a suboptimal way (if you will).

The struggle to not let time (and by generalization, entropy) affect the quality of our actions only gets bigger until it’s fully internalized by the mind and body.

intellectually stimulating problems to solve rather than burdens to bear

I got caught off guard LMAO 🤣

I came across a post that sheds light on the origin of VIM:

an A.I. fine-tuned to make your pool of engineers efficient and faster every day.

scrolling social media is like incentivising perpetual ephemeral thoughts and ideas.

ideally one should gain something out of it but we ignore going deeper into certain interesting thoughts and instead, keep surfing 🏄

that is not why we should use social media.

posters are getting something done and posting about it but consumers are just window-shopping (weird way to put it)

I'm strangely attracted to the idea of commit driven development.

Break down the task into list of commits annotated by the commit messages in great detail.

Tackle each of them in sequence.

It helps me keep stick to commit message while doing the changes.

It's like a todo list but specific to low level implementation details.

not me listening to 'Bauklötze' on repeat.

thank you @sawano_nZk 🙌🏻
