 doom is like sand thrown on a fire.
 
 don't spread it unless you are intentional about it. sometimes it's good to
 smother fires. other times it's cathartic. that's okay.
 
 but keep in mind the future goals. where are we trying to get to in the near
 future? work towards that. your emotions are fuel, not despair to wallow in.

 we use React which fills your browser with insecure-by-design javascript

 Those are good points. The C in our hearts is elegant, but the C that runs on
 every computer in the world is spaghetti.
 
 I'm sure someone's made a language that's "C but simple" - Zig maybe? I looked
 into V a while back but got turned off of both of them because neither had
 support for multithreading, which is essential in the modern era.
 
 Also, typedefs for structs make me mad -.-

 sometimes I think about how much more productive I'd be if I had a code editor
 that let me draw arrows and smiley faces and such alongside the code. Or if I
 could position things strangely, like two functions side-by-side with boxes
 drawn around them. Or diagrams or flowcharts or graphs or...
 
 something that would output to raw txt format, but would present itself as an
 image that could be edited.

 if your man page is longer than a list of options and their usage and a
 paragraph or twenty of how to use the software... then you need to abstract,
 and break your code into multiple purpose-built applications.
 
 do one thing, and do it right. alternatively, do one set of things, and do
 them concisely.

 do it in a random color each time! Here's my implementation for viewing txt
 files colorfully:
some bash computer code which first picks a random color, and if the color is a bad combination (like, black front and black back, meaning you can't see the lines of the letters) then it redoes it and tries to pick a better one randomly. It'll keep trying until it gets a correct combination but honestly there's only like one or two bad ones that don't look so great

 learning martial arts is not useful for the combat capabilities gained through
 practice
 
 but rather for reading the flow and rhythm of an engagement.
 
 to learn the discipline to practice a craft
 
 to develop healthy and honorable relationships toward competition and jealousy
 
 the practice the drive and passionate motivation that comes with performing an
 art to your utmost capabilities
 
 and to keep you in shape.

 I like that article. I definitely fail to follow some of those principles at
 times, though never all of them at once. I can be better, as all people can.
