Sorry but a word for fear of black holes is ridiculous. Black holes are scary period. Anyone not feeling a deep sense of fear during that VR experience is missing something.

It's interesting because i find when I'm less busy/stressed at work is when I spend more time motivated, doing better work, and fixing issues that otherwise would get left behind.

That's completely unreasonable. Sure the camera processes them heavily. but when you open it up and start editing in photoshop you are changing this area over that one, or highlighting one color over another etc.. or just boosting the brightness way higher than what it looked like that day. It's a perfectly normal question to ask.

That's exactly my workflow but I use markdown txt file, and use vim + macros for auto inserting a new entry with date or marking things done. Plus some custom syntax highlighting for done tasks.

Most "regular" developers don't actively engage with StackExchange.. I would not believe that statistic at all. And I'm a 7+ years vim user.

Isn't PGAdmin good enough? Not hating, but I'm not a database guy either so just curious why create a VSCode extension for GUI stuff.

Wasn't this already done for Wi-fi 6e? We have commercial routers already supporting 6GHz channels

Open source maintainers get a kit of "clout" and respect, and they can use this experience to get high paying jobs at big companies. I know of a few people who clearly do this.

There are lots of reasons why some people don't think about "creating", maybe they had childhood issues or are too stressed, too mentally drained with other areas in life, never got nourished to love creativity or never had an inner self belief that they can create.

Or they simply got "stuck" in something, never to get out and find some passion. What even is creating, some people (unlike many programmers or scientists) create social groups, organisations, humor.

I think your idea that there are special "creators" and "regular people" is way off and honestly just a way to feel special and unique. I know people that finally found passion after they retired.. but they were too bogged down to ever figure it out earlier in life.
