Just wanted to say something similar. Any low latency high frequency code is written in c++, c or assembler. And that’s engineers work usually.

Looking back I was never really able to do long study sessions. What helped me a lot was to break it down into smaller sprints with something as reliable reward inbetween.
In the past that was OGame or other browser games where you couldnt play for long and had to wait some time inbetween. Nowadays it’s tarkov scav runs that sometimes work well. Im currently trying to write my PhD thesis so this is my struggle again :)
Also for me it’s specifically a momentum thing so just telling myself 5 minutes is enough will get me over the hump usually. And not expecting too much for the day. Otherwise I will be demotivated even if I managed to do a fair bit.
Think about power consumption of your hardware. If it is supposed to run 24/7 this can add up over a year. The money could be invested in power efficient hardware instead. There are calculators online
I have the m2 air with 16gb ram and am really happy with it. I carry it in my bag everyday so the weight difference to the 14pro is importantly to me. But I have to say that I semi regularly forget to bring my usb c hdmi dongle to meetings. I am still leaning more towards the air since I can still do video cutting and coding much faster than on any other pc.
It really helps but I kinda forget to use it or are not motivated enough to write thoughts down. And the key really lies in just starting without thinking too much about the structure.
I feel like the debugging dopamine comes from the fact that it’s usually a well scoped problem that’s easier to understand than implementing a new feature while still being important. At least that is how I explain it to myself. It sounds like that is taken away from you, since the llm kinda opens up the scope in programming.
I find the topic interesting and want to both experiment with the ortholinear and split concepts. But the main thing holding me back is the same reason I am using zsh and not fish: compatibility. I don’t want to confuse myself with two ways of typing when I need to work on another pc and I will not be using a split keyboard on my laptop for example.
Nice I wanted to play with eink displays at some point but they are still quite expensive.
I know. If you read carefully, I mention that the benefit lies in getting one thing that you can return wholesale and where you don‘t need to debug the origin of the issue yourself.
I bought myself the asrock N100 itx mainboard with ram and drives. Thought that it’s super simple.
I’m now fighting with issues since June. The machine is always freezing after 2 days runtime. Just recently found out that it’s probably the ram stick even though I explicitly bought a stick on the mb compatibility list. Will take probably two more weeks until I get a replacement. I couldn’t use it as NAS in the meantime since I couldn’t be sure that my data is safe.
In my case that’s ok since I’m not dependent on it. You should consider if this level of jank is ok for you.
Otherwise go for the „expensive“ 2/4 bay nas where you can just return the whole thing in case something breaks and you don't need to find out which component is faulty. Have it running reliably otherwise, with software etc set up for you. I underestimated the time investment.
Still want to try rust but in my field it’s just not established enough unfortunately. But I love the idea of the language.
