I used to not cook at all. Then I realized I can’t go on like this and started a challenge: Eat a self cooked meal every single day for a month. It was super challenging but I learned a lot (and initially wasted a lot of food due to bad planning). Now I still cook almost every day.
When you wanna know if a hobby is for you, try doing it every day for a longer time and see if you still enjoy it.
Yes I also wonder about some musicians. Sometimes they had success with one album, release another and then silence. Sometimes only one album exists. For example Gotye, but I found a video of him basically saying he didn’t like the business and just stopped.
On the Youtube Side, I hope Jake Roper of Vsauce3 is doing fine. He had cancer then I think it was better but now it’s been a year again since his last video.
It’s hard to explain in words. I quickly searched for a video about it and this one shows the basics pretty good: https://youtu.be/w3JCjsIOMdM?si=-dS-m940AGHFgCG-
Sublime Text is a bit more powerful in that regard (and also more performant with very large files) which is why I still keep it installed even though I switched to VSCode long time ago. I guess Vim can do even more but I can’t get myself to learn it well.
Learn what the software or device you’re using can do. There’s often so much productivity packed in, you don’t even know what you’re missing.
For example code editors like VSCode or Sublime Text have easy ways to select and work on multiple lines/words at the same time that can make work SO much more productive and fast, it’s like magic. I see other people doing things line by line and it takes ages.
Microwaves have all kinds of presets that people rarely use. Read the manual and try them out.
When you’re a horny teenager you don’t think of that as CSAM. You think those are your classmates of your own age and you want to see them naked.
The AI tool is the problem here.
Same thing the other way around. It depends on what you're used to.
They made a huge oopsie with Siri once, when it was revealed that audio was reviewed by real people without my consent. It made me question everything for a bit. But is it better at Google? I don't think so. And Apple fixed the issue.
I’m all digital. Don’t have to worry about where my notebook is, my tasks and calendar are available through my phone, tablet, computer. And I get reminded on time sensitive things. I can make templates for repeating tasks like my vacation checklist. I’m reminded on birthdays that are coming up so I have time for presents. I never feel like I’m forgetting anything. It’s perfect for how my brain works.

It’s a technological feat and you love to be part of this progress. Remember when graphics were shit, wheels were square and textures were a washed out blob of color, but we were impressed because we knew this was another breakthrough. Now we still find ways to improve graphics even though last week we thought this was as realistic as it gets. When you play games, you also look at it from the perspective of how advanced it is.
These days we get to see perfect worlds on screen. Developers make sure that every corner has something to look at, colors pop, everything is neatly arranged, the light perfectly fits the mood. Maybe it rains in-game but you don’t have the annoying real-life effect of getting soaked, so you can simply enjoy how it looks and sounds. You know sometimes in the real world you think, wow this view looks really amazing and you pull out your phone to capture it? In modern games that happens more often and in the right moments. It’s all orchestrated.
