Ok. I just read the wiki and it's interesting. What's a good resource for learning deeper about ECS?
I like how straight-forward the syntax is. And it also seems orderly to have everything be a class. There's a system to it.
I'm using C++ for a project now and I like it in a similar way, but there's more freedom (everything doesn't HAVE to be a class). So with C++ I'll never go back to Java (unless it's for a job).
Teams is the name of the application, singular.

I go back and forth between reading novels and difficult non-fiction books. Also, I read in the morning with coffee and in the evening with non-caffeinated tea.
When I fall out of my reading habit, I restart it by reading a page-turner. Stephen King, Neal Stephenson, whoever.
When reading a difficult book (philosophy) I treat it like a serious undertaking, something I might not be ready for. I have a dictionary nearby. I'm here to learn, to struggle. And it's like a sport. But an extremely edifying and satisfying sport. It's like climbing a mountain. Some philosophy books require reading like three other philosophy books first. These are geniuses talking to each other, and I just get to watch.
And when I'm done with a difficult book, I follow it up with a page-turner. Alastair Reynolds, some comedy novel, or whatever.
I never read a book "just because it's a classic." That's no fun. There has to be something about the book that makes me want to read it.
And I try not to read multiple books at the same time. I'm currently breaking that rule.
You write very well, and communicate coherently. I don't get a "low intelligence" vibe from the structure of your post. Although the negative focus suggests an unhealthy fixation.
It sounds like you might have good emotional intelligence. I think you can find something you're good at, develop that natural talent into a strong skill, and just give yourself to that.
Also remember that negative thinking creates bad outcomes. I know it's not your fault, and your negative thinking comes from negative experiences, but you're clearly demonstrating a kind of intelligence in how you communicate.
Short answer: yes, there's hope for you. You're so young. You have time to find what you're good at and give yourself to that.
Yeah, it totally does mean something. But you shouldn't let that knowledge keep you in a box. You really have to find out what you're good at and give yourself to that.

This is how my work has been and it allowed me to touch every part of the repo while still a junior dev and gain lots of experience. So I also like that. But lately I'm trying to specialize more and go deep into things, and I like the idea of being an expert on something. So I appreciate the trade-offs.
all bets are off with offshore contractors. Some want to learn, some simply don’t care and will do the bare minimum.
As a guy who was replaced by offshore contractors, and who hasn't had a single interview in 7 months while offshore contractors are (probably) still getting lots of work... I find this observation both heartening and disheartening.
That works when the docs are good and clear. Otherwise, we'll have to revert to communicating with each other for brief periods while the chat-bots train themselves on the new data.
Yeah they're trash anyway. That subreddit sucks. I've seen too many astroturf ads get promoted to like 20k upvotes. Good riddance, I say.
It always sounded more like classic Drum n Bass to me.
Coming out just a little later was Ed Rush and Optical's album "Wormhole," which is just as likely to be an influence.

I really liked the "Baron's" brand workbooks. I re-did some high school math with those. They explained the concepts and also there were many exercises to do by hand.
Sounds too much like Threads, the invasive corporate thing which can get fucked. Never going to market for them.
These mint and banana low profile optical switches are the perfect switches. They're almost clicky, early tactile bump, and they sound and feel so good. There are no other switches like them (that I've found). But they never seem to be available in the stores anymore.
Maybe the Gateron ones are as good?
Two soldiers declare a fight to the death, and give each other a year to plan. One starts a mercenary troupe, the other starts a domestic terrorism cell.
Meanwhile, a paralyzed billionaire invents robot bodies and becomes a cyborg. He tries to share this technology with disabled people everywhere, but instead his tech becomes a global arms race between those two soldiers.

How is the best way to get started building apps in the fediverse?
Please tell me if you think this would be useful for you.
I'm working on a story plotting app which focuses on value changes as the basis of the app. For each section of the story (beat, chapter, act) there are value changes (characters getting closer or further from some goal, threat, or other value). And I want to visualise these changes on a graph, so you can see how everybody's fortunes rise and fall.
There will still be the standard components, something similar to index cards to plot out the actual action of each chapter and beat. But the unique addition that I'm bringing here is you can see everybody's changes of fortune, like watching the stock market, or maybe like reading music.
It will be a desktop application (written in python and JavaScript).
So, does anybody think this would be useful to your writing? Are there other things you might want to see added to such a piece of software?
I planned this book for 20 years, spent 4 years researching, writing, editing, and narrating it. The paperback, e-book, and audio versions will be available on October 21!
