Your projects don't matter, you don't have to make money, it's your job to learn, not drive shareholder value: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ge3rG...

What's the biggest problem with your workflow right now? Is it typing speed, is it vim abilities, is it ability to read documentation, ability to learn? Is it the fact that you don't know what the weakest link is? I swear I'm not insane, I just need to know everything now man. IDK if you've realized this yet, but I learn more from you than you from me lol.

Which of all your skills is your favorite? Is it vim, cooking, poker, s*x, day trading, soldering, credit cards & money, spiritual understanding, c#, an instrument, or some really cool meta learning skill I don't know about yet. I'm quite interested in Feynman and studying the way my own mind learns and constructs concepts.

What keyboard are you using? My ferris sweep I think is a little too small for practicality. If you want to see content about your keyboard, do your best to convince me that it's the best keyboard available.

What do you use for git tooling? Some people still use git diffcheck of vscode or another IDE. That's some big brain SWE activities right there, but I'm curious if there are others who have found cli workflows that they like. My tip for you is to use a fuzzy picker to go over the commits of your current buffer. This is brilliant because you can go back in time, yank a chance, and then go back to the present. If your team is good all the commit messages should be a great trail of crumbs to find what you need to.

Is Brian Johnson health maxing legit? Or is he a conman? I like the healthy as possible thing, but I'm a lil sussed out by all the branding and marketing of it all.
