It's crazy that prisma had 40k github stars last I checked. I haven't followed the js ecosystem that closely, but I thought stars would be some indication of quality, but no. It is totally unsuitable for any serious application. I've heard good things about kysely.

Glad I'm not the only one who finds Prisma an abomination. Claude suggested it to me in December. I hit half a dozen bugs within a day, one of which wiped my DB. I switched to drizzle and it's been smooth sailing.

Edit: actually I think it was ChatGPT that recommended Prisma to me.

Do you know about Bear? It means "to endure", but it also is the name of a note-taking app in the Apple ecosystem.

That's interesting. If you think it could be a nervous system issue, have you tried herbs that calm the nervous system or looked into ayurveda or relaxation techniques? Sorry for the random unsolicited advice.

I'm curious, have you lived in the same place this whole time? If the pain came back when you returned home, maybe there is some environmental cause for it, possibly something poorly-understood. I hesitate to even mention any examples because this can be controversial (and murky) territory, but I'm thinking of things like EMF exposure. Maybe you are really sensitive to something like that. Not sure, but could be worth experimenting with different environments and collecting data.

I really resonate with the "Acceptance" section. I came to a similar realization, that having strong negative emotions about the pain just made everything worse. Stress causes inflammation which doesn't help, and only hurts the situation.

As for actual strategies to manage emotions, I would strongly recommend reading books about REBT (the precursor to CBT) such as "How To Stubbornly Refuse To Make Yourself Miserable About Anything-yes, Anything!" It's honestly been life-changing, and I think a lot of folks here would appreciate the rational approach to adjusting one's beliefs, feelings, and actions. Being able to avoid unnecessary negative emotions, and irrational beliefs that upset you, can be a superpower.

From what I can recall, he does encourage people not to stop exercising when they experience psychosomatic pain. The idea is that stopping exercise because of pain gives it validity.

But I would add that one should be careful when exercising and stop as soon as the pain is more than a nuisance. I have pain in my ankle and after trying to sprint through the pain I couldn't walk for a couple weeks. Then when I started going on really easy runs and slowly ramping up the time/pace, it finally started to improve.

Hello fellow KC resident! That's some impressive experience - wish you well in your search.

  Willing to relocate: no
  Technologies: Rust (4+ yrs), Typescript (2+ yrs), Node, Go, Python, CI/CD, backend/frontend, Emacs

Summary: I'm an engineer with 8 years of experience in both backend and frontend. I can design, architect, and implement systems. I'm looking for meaningful work outside of the blockchain industry, which most of my background is in. I'm technology-agnostic and have proven my ability to be productive in a new language or codebase within days. I also love quality software and am highly prolific.

Is there any evidence for these accusations? I'm impressed that they pay people to take the tests. They (seem to) do things the right way.

I had the same thought for a restaurant website that served multiple languages. I figured customers might glance at the URL when it's being shared, and appreciate it being in their language.

What do you do when the translated slug happens to be the same in multiple languages? I ended up still having the country code in the slug.
