I used Codex mostly, but my CLI Codex would run out of quota after an hour or so because I only have the OpenAI Plus plan.

That said, when I used the agentic version on the website, the quota currently seems to be infinite. I could get 10+ agents running and work for hours without a mention of quota limits. I'm guessing this is a temporary business maneuver to help Codex catch up on market share.

That said, the online version was pretty good. I found myself building out code and docs from my phone sometimes.

I have a full time job and also maintain another significantly large open source project solo (Kuberhealthy), so my flags package for Go was often neglected despite having 850+ stars and being used in lazydocker and others. I had a lot of guilt about this, but now that I've been getting used to using AI, returning to this project to add the features I always wanted it to have (completion for shells) was doable from my couch with family and kids as a constant distraction.

I am optimistic that AI is a good thing for software and it's certainly made it possible for me to stay on top of my open source projects for the first time in many years.

This is neat and probably even better than the ignore. Thanks for this!

The post does say exactly how to do that. Just init your homedir as a repo, add a remote, and pull. Your dotfiles come right down on top of your new machine's home directory.

Call me crazy, but I don't like any of this. Make more named functions. Keep your logic flat and explicit. I believe go wants you to code this way as well. Imagine the horrors this kind of function chaining creates. Actually, you don't have to. It's JavaScript.

I had COVID at the end of 2022 and became deeply and severely depressed right after and for the first several months of 2023. It was terrible. I was shaking uncontrollably for days, I never slept for more than a few minutes at a time, I didn't eat, and I had panic attacks constantly. I really thought that it would never end and that my brain had somehow broken.

I did have stressful events I was dealing with in life before this occurred, but I was managing. While I had COVID, I realized that I would get very unexpectedly sad and sometimes cry for no reason. As COVID got better, my depression symptoms stayed and got worse.

I ended up sick with something that required antibiotics and within a week of taking those, my symptoms started to ease up. A month later I was doing much better. A few months later and I was back to normal. I also started therapy during this depression event and continue it today just in case.

I really don't have a way to prove that it was connected to COVID or the antibiotic use, but I can tell you that my mind was not functioning correctly during this. I could mentally know everything was totally fine, but my body would still decide to dump adrenaline and fear on me unreasonably. It was like being trapped in a broken body that was torturing me. People would try to tell me that everything was fine, and I would explain that I knew that, but my brain chemistry was still on fire and logic didn't help.

Anyway, I fought hard, I reached out to friends, I did therapy as often as I could, I started exercising, did breathing exercises, took lots of walks outside, and I eventually got through it. It felt hopeless but I just did those things anyway through sheer force of will. Eventually I got through it and that hell is only a memory now that continues to fade with time.

I believe this was related to some kind of inflammation somewhere that was linked to a very bad COVID infection.

This is dark and upsetting. Helping others and even giving them hope is a good thing.
