Ahk, a typical tough Sunday. No friends or family to talk to (except Mom and she doesn't grok computer) can't get my head into the programming game either as a way to escape.
Had so much fun 2 nights ago working on CodeFactory but now no puzzle solving dopamine. Mom is cutting corn off the cob to put in the freezer and watching her struggle to get around has my feels in a vise. But at least she's doing what she likes.
The very thing that I hope will help her health and my financial well being also seems to be (depending on who you listen to) either rapidly killing the software industry and startup/VC culture or, alternately nearly a waste of time and resources.
The vague anxiety I've been feeling is another wrinkle in things. It isn't because my situation, our situation (my family and I) or Our Situation in terms of my society and world are any of us in such desperate straights. Things are, on average, alright, sort of. But I have an understandable fear, drawn no doubt from loss avoidance circuitry in my head, that things may soon become much worse.
The sort of feeling that media and politicians can't help themselves to exploit.
Think I'll work on that Musical Agent my friend Josh has been talking about for a while now. Seems like a decent challenge and I already had grok run down the over-all specs and some demo code for me.
Y'all have a great day now.
