  • I feel you there. I’ve had periods of time where motivation in general was easier and thus I could more easily feel up to taking a walk, and that almost always made me feel better. It truly sucks when you don’t feel able to find the motivation. And I’m not trying to make it sound easy, but if you force yourself on occasion to do small exercises like walking, you’re more likely to find your way back to the place when you’re automatically motivated.




  • I have. I suspect though that it was because of this one day a weird mod was banning people en masse for downvoting their accusatory post where they listed a bunch of users they claimed are Zionists. With no evidence at all. Everyone who downvoted it got banned from their community immediately. Then I noticed the weird bot behavior a day or two later. I saw another user complaining about the same bots doing this to them also. If it’s that mod, it’s a very strange and spiteful thing to do but it wouldn’t surprise me. People are strange.


  • I have never gotten anywhere with coworkers arguing this. They write the dumbest comments and resist feedback in PRs. Now with LLMs we’re adding a bunch of unit tests that are about half comments. I cannot begin to express how useless these comments are. No one is going to read 15 paragraphs to understand a slop unit test. If that shit breaks it’s not going to be obvious why. Between the verbosity and writing style, these comments are some of the least grokable shit I’ve seen in my career. My coworkers have basically let me know that my feedback is noted but they disagree.
