Sorry for the late answer, and the answer is - I actually do! The difference IMO is that the person who wrote a Rust compiler over the weekend actually worked hard to arrive at such a point in their life, and instead of jealousy I feel a drive or a motivation, thinking 'Well, if I code/learn hard enough, maaaaaaaaybe I could do that at one point in my life'

The best thing I did for my mental health was my gradual decline from interacting and using social networks. I was scrolling through my IG feed mad and jealous because people there seem to have a lot more going in live than I have, until by pure chance one girl who seemed the happiest person on her IG travels randomly outed herself to go to therapy for her depression and suicidal states. This happened almost 5 years ago, and I never looked back.

Unrelated to the WFH dilemma, how is Australia generally for IT and tech workers?

I've gotten two invitations to emigrate in the past and although I naively refused, as time goes on I am strongly inclined to at least take the offers into account.

Oh yeah. Extremely narcissistic, controlling, 'better than you' type of person. Used to let me recover for a couple of weeks then stomped me again. That whole experience completely destroyed my daydreaming experience because in my imagination everything was rosy with unicorns, when it was toxic as hell in real life.

I'm really, really interested in the way Elon's psyche works. He was touted as an IT gargantuan for so long, but to me (and this is only my opinion) he just seems... fairly... simple-minded. Some of his more brazen actions, such as this one just reinforce my opinion.

I never experienced the level of immersiveness of the author, but I did daydream quite a lot all the way into my early 20s. I would completely ignore my professors during my classes, I would talk with myself when I walked home, I would dissociate myself from reality imagining all kinds of different scenarios.

How I solved this? Well, not by myself. One of the topics of my daydreams was this girl that I was infatuated with. Long story short, we somehow get together, I realize that our relationship wasn't exactly going on the way I imagined it, we break up, I go through quite a depressive, suicidal period, I lose most of my friends. Completely unrelated, two years after I had to do a surgery which kinda grounded me more into reality. Since then, I rarely daydream, it is like my imaginary world was shattered by this moment. It is like I finally 'grew'.

I feel like the sensational title and the content of the article are completely unrelated. Also the author is somewhat toxic.

On the other hand, I was always interested in AI, but this listing really scratched my curiosity. What would be the proper roadmap for someone who wants to learn AI?

I don't know if the charts presented in the link are misleading or not, but I did notice a visible reduction in quality of answers (during a period of 5-6 years) as I can't find relatable questions to issues I'm facing.

I always get surprised when I read OS share information. Could swear more than 3% of (personal) computers in the world run Linux.

The problem is AI generated articles (not short-form marketing content) only rehearse human information (at least for now, since they don't yet have human intuition and understanding), thus creating an infinite pool of same information that is only slightly syntactically different. I wonder what are the consequences of this in the future, especially as someone having a tech blog.

I remember reading Ray Kurzweil's book 'The Singularity is Near' (a book with bold predictions about human development and future) and thinking this guy is nuts, we are decades if not centuries away from these predictions. Well, now I don't feel so comfortable.
