i love my dev work but doing derivative bullshit wears thin pretty fast, and i have to keep my sats balance in mind as i idle out for much of a second month now

hoping that in a week or two this bit of "fun" i'm doing will finally fix some shit i was struggling with in the paid work and and open more doors to building more with it... i know that i can get some traction just by making replicatr production ready so i can start thinking about something beyond this will be good

like, i really really want to be able to plug a legit GUI client together, but only have to mainly deal with the actual code and not the mysteries of node_modules

If engineering fails for me, there's a good chance I'll jump back into a labor position of some sort. It's often quite rewarding in the short term, as long as you build a path to an air-conditioned office. Although the only successful people in construction I've met, is generational.

Unfortunately the baking family trade stopped with me after my father passed. He always wanted me to use my head, not my body. Although there is a good chance I would have taken it over like he did at my age.
