Yes, I just tried using Notion again the other day after being annoyed with Obsidian Projects and even with only a couple entries on a notion database page, it took MINUTES to load, on web and on the desktop version. Uninstalled it immediately and went back to Obsidian.
I’m completely done with Notion now. It was great when it was new, worked well and did what it advertised. But now it has too many features and I feel its core functionality has really suffered.
Currently unemployed. I wake up whenever I wake up, no alarm clock. Read a bit or browse social media until I decide to get up. Grab my coffee and then hop on the computer where I watch YouTube and play a game until the coffee kicks in and I need to poop. Then go for a run shortly after that.
It’s been almost two years since I was layed off. Unlike him though, I have not been working on side projects. This time has actually made me realize that I do not enjoy software, even working on projects for myself and as a hobby.
I’ve slowly spent all my savings, moved back in with my folks, and still don’t have a job. It’s rough. I have no idea what I wanna do in life. So I decided to join the navy recently, to give me the next 4 years to figure it out.
Every time I’ve flown for the past few years, my ID fails to scan at TSA. Don’t know why but every time it’s happened, the TSA agent will just call over another TSA rep, they will look at it, and then say I’m good to go ahead. Never knew these other methods existed, I’ve never been asked to confirm my identity a different way.
This is why I’ve given up on software. I loved it, made side projects in college, got my computer science degree, worked for a couple years and then got laid off early in 2023. It’s been a year and a half and I still can not find a new job. I have not coded in god knows how long, I don’t find it enjoyable anymore. In fact I almost despise it. I’ve decided to join the military instead.
#1 reason I use proxy cards to pay for subscriptions, all I have to do is pause or delete the proxy card and then I won’t have to worry about complicated cancellation processes
