At the time I made the change, vscode had a better plugin ecossystem to my needs. Still use it when I need for specific stuff, but it isn't my main text editor anymore.

The single piece of software I attached to in my entire life. It was a really hard decision to leave it behind.

I had this same feeling with SNES games and Diablo 2 and stuff I listened to when I was 10 till 14 (especially with System of a Down). Took me years to disassociate then. Not that I wanted, but it happened eventually.

I kinda have a friendly relationship with my tinnitus. If I move my jaw in circles, the noise frequency follows the movements. I find it kinda funny. For example, right now I don't hear it (only if I really focus on it), but if I move my jaw, I immediately can hear it.

Man, barbell stuff do wonders for me. I sleep better, I eat better, the pain I feel is a good feeling, like, my body is repairing for some heavy effort I made, my sexual drive is (a lot) better, my energy levels are better. Food has a purpose. My hormones are better. I feel great overall. I eat without guilty. Besides that, I'm stronger by the day.

I tried to simulate these feelings with other activities (soccer, running, bike, even calisthenics). No success. Not the way that barbell stuff do to me. And I'm not even a very strong guy (101kg bench, 130kg squat, 150kg deadlift @ 73kg).

One of the reasons why I don't do weightlifting stuff is that they seem a lot riskier. Same doubt here. These people who recommend weightlifting stuff (I don't mean in any way to discredit Robert Oberst, Eddie Hall... I follow and watch Strongman scene and really enjoy these guys), are they recommending it as "you should get a weightlifting coach and learn the movements properly" or "go to the gym and do power cleans as you go"? I find powerlifting a lot easier to learn alone, youtube only. And less riskier with the progress of increasing load + nonstop learning.

Is it? I always read about it as "used" by Navy SEAL, not "created" by them.

Thanks for your work. I really enjoy it.

Until 2012 I was using an old laptop, Celeron with 760mb RAM, running Lubuntu and Windows XP. It was very crappy, but allowed me to do some web freelancing (thanks Sublime Text, I miss you) and browse web in general (sure, one thing at a time. Sometimes I couldn't listen to music on Banshee and have a heavy RAM tab opened). That's what I could afford at the time. Today I got a powerful Dell laptop, don't care anymore about these micro optimizations. I feel like I'm betraying my old self, hah.

I kinda have a mental map of brazilian people here. Everytime I see some nick which resembles anything in portuguese, I check if the person is brazilian. From time to time, I'm here scrolling and then... Oh, the soneca guy again. Same with the atum one, and some others.

I share the same feeling. Since Deep Work, I work less and do more. I'm supposed to be 8 hours on my company, but since I do everything in much less time than anybody else (due to make an effort to don't get distracted), I usually spend 7, 7.5 hours at company and nobody complained yet.
