“If you truly believe in something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.”

Ignore the noise and pick up the OG materials. If you don’t have any friends in real-life that love this stuff, then you’re forced to only talk about it with people over the internet — that’s where exhausted devs go wrong.

Toxic maximalists are great when they’re defending truth with logic rather than emotional hazing, but they can’t be your only friends! Of course you’d quit if so lol. We can’t just live our whole lives behind computers and expect to feel good.
