My stomach protested after being feed copious amounts of coffee during the late 90's. Since then I only drink coffee involuntarily (like if someone already made me a cup before asking so I sip just out of courtesy). Today I stick to drinking mostly red teas. Which are not actually tea I hear. Anyways, my point is did you try to get off caffeine altogether at some point?

And then again, if people need to write c/o they could actually write... c/o.

> how to deal with the burden of this

Maybe I don't understand your situation well enought but is this really what you want to do?

I got interested in software development when I was 13 years old. Since then I''ve done software devlopoment both as a hobby and professionally. Now, in my mid 40's I work as a software developer and I'm having the time of my life!

My $.02 would be (as others in the thread has recommended) to take it slow. Also, try different things and focus on the things you find exciting!

>Making life good for 100% of the people is an incredibly hard problem to solve.

The 90's problem in Sweden started with politicians believing that this was a solvable problem. It's actually counter productive for the population having a state with this delusion.

Try this: Sit in a relaxing posture. As you inhale, think "1". Exhale and think "2". Inhale and think "3" and so on up to "10". Then start over. In the beginning you will often end up counting 11, 12, 13, 14 and then realize you counted to far. Just start over with inhaling and counting "1" and so on. In my experience, after 30-45 minutes, the mind and body will come to rest in a profound manner. For details check out "Mediation for dummies", this is where I leared the technique. Best of luck.

I'm impressed by your vast experience with different languages! I'm also curious to learn why one language contrasted with another language have no necessary relationship to how speakers of each language think. The authors post seem to prove the opposite:

>An Australian Aboriginal tribe, The Guugu Yimithirr, famously have no words for left, right, in front of or behind. They use north, east, west, and south instead. And as a result: they develop an internal compass—always knowing which way is north, even if you blindfold them and spin them around.

I for sure don't know the direction after being spun blindfolded :)

(edit: grammar)

Found your post during a search for another post about favorite programming languages. I read another post suggesting going to the local library to work a couple of hours. I've contemplated this but never got around to it yet. I wish you the best of luck on finding tools and habits to keep things moving.

Being able to follow what you type using the display instead of having to watch the keyboard instills a certain calmness. It's actually not so much about typing speed, more about adopting a less tiresome work process.
