Yeah.  That's all I know how to do at this point pretty much.  HTML and CSS and a touch of JavaScript.  This is a cool video.  So many options in web dev right now.

PHP is where real web dev is at.

Web dev industry is changing so rapidly, we don't actually write code manually any more, we just do it with AI 90% of the time, but the thing is, it's crucial to know the fundamentals and actually understand what AI is doing to differenciate slop from useful code. Also, you take charge whenever it doesn't do things correctly. 

But that skill of actually knowing stuff came from years of experience for me that I got from doing this full time professionaly.

I'm not sure where juniors gonna get that experience if no companies hire juniors anymore (junior jobs are almost nonexistent atm).

We're moving into a new abstraction where big picture thinking, architecture design, AI agent orchestration, proficency at fundamentals, and leadership qualities are becoming more and more valuable.

@Basman People do it on purpose in India they sit there and watch bodies melt. There are many stories of buddha where he shows people melting bodies and dying bodies. Its looking at fear.

This is not true from my experience. Facing trauma dead in the eyes again and again and again grows me the exponential, especially paired with psychedelic states and in the presence of the highest teachers and healers. Facing my shit helped me grow in autonomy and wisdom. 

The overlap between people who watch gore and having a mental illness is pretty high, you have to admit.

That shit is not far off from being self-harm. Those sights will never leave you.

About two weeks.

Its effects have started to get worse, so I quit. And I get addicted very easily to coffee.

I just had to sleep early so that I wouldn't need coffee the next day.

Pair Dancing, climbing, running, archery, fixing technical shit.

I do a lot of spiritual practices but some of them are closer to hobbies than others . Like tai chi and yoga. Duolingo,  smash bros.
