YouTube/Gmail/etc etc and everything that the government is tracking. FWIW, they are tracking our internet with all sorts of fancy technology.
I think probably what I meant to ask is:
I started exactly like this. I wanted to get more and more points as soon as possible; You would ask why ?
I wanted to appear smarter than I actually am :(
One of the reasons was to fill the void of me not being able to socialize. Eventually as time progressed, I stopped caring about these fictitious karma points and use this place to improve my self.
I think it is not bad to want more karma, IMHO, the thing that matters is how does one gets there.
This may not be something that helps you immediately, but I feel, if you stick around enough; karma will follow :)
> Second, not every change needs a great commit message. If a change is really minor, I would say minor is an okay commit message!
I want to slightly disagree on this for folks who are early on in career e.g me; I think there is a lot of value in learning to communicate precisely and having a habit of writing good commit message has certainly improved my skills, both verbal and written.
Even though, this activity appears futile for a minor change; it might help to improve other skills :)
I think, I feel, I am out of this rat race of fighting for that next promotion, learning that new language, earning more money, wanting that ${THING}. No, I am not a monk, nor do I want to become one, but I am passionate about how to be content and grateful for whatever I have; I am relatively at peace for a good while since I started to train & reinforce my brain to behave this way. Thanks to Almighty.
