What a terribly difficult life and yet with so many great achievements. An inspiration!

Also what's with the magic trick of entering DFU mode by pressing the buttons at a very specific time for a very specific number of seconds? Felt like singing a song to some fictional Mac OS gods and hoping for the stars to align for the laptop to show up in the second Mac. Ah, also the port you use for the USB-C cable matters!! Has to be the first from the left? But why?

Anw, I followed a video by Mr. Macintosh and managed to get mine up and running, whew.

Loved this! I was just hoping I'd see a count of how many I got right with the first try in the end, but it was fun anyway!

You reminded me of this song: https://open.spotify.com/track/2Z77xPgph4BVaW8BgzVZrp?si=c-1...

And I believe what you say is very true, although I'm one of the ones that easily move and embrace the change - I think I keep doing it for the fun and the challenge and simply out of curiosity. At least that's what I tell myself, since I've had to _really_ think if I was trying to run away from anything whenever I did choose to move, exactly because of that expression and of this song.

ps. I also went into my notes and found this gem, which I've really enjoyed reading some time ago: https://moretothat.com/travel-is-no-cure-for-the-mind/

What's the point?

I could have written this. The exact same thing happens to me and now I am realizing you might be right and it might be on purpose so we scroll through all the unnecessary ads. Arrgh.

I have the opposite problem working from home: I take almost no breaks, sometimes it happened I even had lunch from my desk and worked longer hours than in the office. This sucked at first, until I realized I couldn't do this for long and started being more conscious about my working hours. In the office I feel I take so many breaks, short coffee chats, water cooler chats etc. I think what you say that "any breaks people take are way longer than in the office" is not extremely accurate.

This is not so much the case in my experience (Europe). People here do not start new companies that frequently (as is the culture in the US, I think). Many people switch companies and while they can refer you at their new company (and they do), you still have to go through the interviewing process. My own experience: My first job I was approached by one of my Uni professors that had a small company, to work for them. Second job (while still doing my masters at Uni) I had to go through an actual exam for a big company in my country. I found out about it at the Uni (they'd post everywhere they were looking). Third job found on Stack Overflow. Current job found on LinkedIn.

From the title, I got excited thinking this had something to do with having a camera inside human eyes that would record everything one would see and even have options like taking a picture by blinking. I have thought of this a lot and I was pleasantly surprised someone really did start working on it, only to realize it was not that.

I am on the same spot, managed to find myself a job in Data Engineering from Software Engineering, but my end goal would be ML and I thought having the master's as a part time study would help getting there.

I am studying on Coursera meanwhile. Probably just finding another job directly into ML would also work, but I would need to start as a junior and I wouldn't really like that - salary wise.

Thanks for your reply and for the good wishes :)
