Hi there 👋. I'm a Front-end developer.

🥱 -> 🤔💡🌱 — On The Death of Daydreaming
- boredom -> easy fun -> art -> profit?

I've often described my motivation for building software to others using imagery: I like to go find a secluded beach, build a large, magnificent sand castle, and then walk away. Will anyone notice? Probably not. Will the waves eventually destroy it? Yep. Did I still get immense satisfaction? Absolutely. — aliasxneo

We love to see the process, not just the result. The imperfections in your work can be beautiful if they show your struggle for perfection, not a lack of care. — ralphammer

Simplicity, even if it sacrifices some ideal functionality has better survival characteristics than the-right-thing. — The Rise of Worse is Better

Roberto Blake was talking about making 100 crappy videos to get better over time. Putting in the reps and improving a little bit each time.

Putting in the work without expecting any external reward at first (eg views, followers, likes, etc) will pay off in the long run. — 100 Scrappy Things

Make the difficult habitual, the habitual easy, and the easy beautiful. — Constantin S. Stanislavski

A good match is a structured dance, where players aim to score while they are following well-defined rules. This freedom within a structure is what makes it fun. — ralphammer

Focus is more about not keeping busy when you need to wait for something.
Eat the boredom for a minute.

recommended routine - bodyweightfitness - I Don't Have This Much Time!

Don't workout at all (saves anywhere from 20 to 60 minutes, but really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really not recommended)

도무지 읽히지 않는 책 앞에서 내가 택한 방법은 펼쳐진 페이지 앞에서 멍때리기이다. 다르게 표현하면 이렇다. 펼쳐진 두 페이지 앞에서 오래 머물기.

책을 펼쳐놓는 것으로 충분하다. 읽지 못해도 좋다. 매일 정해진 진도를 나가야 하는 학교 수업이 아니니까. 하지만 읽지 않아도 괜찮다고 해서 펼쳐두지조차 않으면 곤란하다. 가능한 한 자주 책을 펼쳐두도록 하자. 전혀 읽지 않고 멍하니 바라보고 있다가 다시 덮게 되더라도 — 막막한 독서. 시로군. P.10~13

I think it should be everyone's primary focus to sleep well, drink water, get outside, get active, and eat generally decently. I hate to say it, but if you're not eating a good amount of vegetables and fruit, decent protein, sleep, etc, no amount of XYZ will catch up to that detriment. — CE02

My real battle is doing good versus doing nothing. — Deirdre Sullivan

Sometimes magic is just someone spending more time on something than anyone else might reasonably expect. — Teller
