I'm pretty sure you could go back to scrolls from Pompeii and find someone complaining about a memo or invoice being incomprehensible.

Back when I was 12 (2005 or so), I was learning blender 2.38 or so. And all learning back then was webpages with screenshots.

I was at a cabin with dial up, just being able to disable images and selectively right click and click load image was a life saver back in the day.

It's a shame modern browsers don't really support low bandwidth needs at all.

Don't hijack the back button...

I understand the challenges he's facing. But I think he put a bit too much of himself into the project. So everything is personal. When someone asks for functionality "why no thund3rb01t OmG" you should be able to say without taking it personally "driver will take time or a volunteer".

> I miss having free time where I can relax and not worry about the features we haven’t shipped yet. I miss making music. I miss attending jam sessions. I miss going out for dinner with my friends and family and not having to worry about how much we haven’t upstreamed. I miss being able to sit down and play a game or watch a movie without feeling guilty.

Honestly I think working like 10+ hour days and not doing other things that are less stressful and enjoyable (people being their biggest stressor in this regard).

They likely have PTSD at this point.

Whatever you need Marcan. I hope you find it. I'm rooting for your health and happiness.

I agree. I mean constant nagging about features can definitely be annoying so I can understand that part but having the rest sounds like burnout.

PTSD seems a bit of a stretch in my (perhaps uneducated opinion), but he's definitely been under a pile of stress that he's internalizing more than he should be.

I always enjoyed watching Marcan's streams. But I couldn't do Lina's, only because the high pitched voice changing was grating.

Without evidence, this argument just measures population growth.

~28.2 million SW engineers in 2024

6,800 SW engineers in 1985

that's what I found - probably not called SW engineers in 1985 though

How the PCMag has fallen.

For the author, you probably have IBS.

I have similar symptoms, and basically I can't eat anything with Peppers or Chilies. The whole fruiting family. So no paprika. You would be absolutely floored to find out how many things paprika is in. Basically every flavour of chip you like. Curries often have them too.

Expanding on this, OP, please see a GI doctor. These could also be signs of much worse things you want to catch early.

I wish gitlens was in the GitHub.dev environment. I use it's like blame all the time!

You can install it and it'll work. Check your extensions tab to make sure it's loaded.
