- Touching Grass?
Why touch grass when you can sit in front of the computer and do typing tests? Why touch grass when you can sit in front of the computer and program something cool? Sitting in front of the computer isn't necessarily bad, it gets a bad rep these days but only because some of us do it too much. Get up, take a walk, look at something faraway to rest your eyes. But hey, it's okay to sit in front of the computer. I'll allow it.

Talent is a scam. Talent is the external way of viewing a very good intuition. So now the question becomes, what is the difference between these people? So if you wanna develop your intuition, there's a couple of things you need to do. The first is take in a lot of information, the more you take in, the more your intuition will grow. Second thing, we need a low level of chronic stress and a high level of acute stress. Third, when inputting information, be active with it.

I don't know man. Neuroscientific research has shown that new neuronal pathways are easier to form when someone is starving. That means that if you teach a man how to fish while they're starving, they may just learn it faster. I think it has something to do with triggering our survival instinct, which helps us retain and integrate new information more efficiently.

- Thoughts on Programming and Life
I've been relearning how to program and I'm doing that with Rust. When your program errors, sometimes it panics. Your program stops execution and unwinds the call stack and shows you a stack trace. Basically, a paper trail from where the error occurred. I feel like unwinding the stack is similar to how therapy works, something goes wrong in your life and you have to step back to see where it comes from. You trace it to its origin.

- Thoughts on "Haikyuu!!: vs Inarizaki"
"If we keep holding onto yesterday, what are we going to be tomorrow? You only need one thing. Challenge yourself today." It doesn't have to be something amazing. It could be 1 extra push up, 15 minutes of working on a side project, 3 more squat jumps. Regardless, watching Inarizaki in action of their philosophy has inspired me to do the hard things. I hope that it can do the same for you.

Have you found the limits of your abilities? People who are naturally better than you have been different from you since the day you were born. No matter how hard you work, you can't change that. You can complain after you've actually done everything you possibly can. Today might be the day you seize the chance to let your talent bloom. I'm not sure if physique has anything to do with it, but if you think it'll never come, it probably never will.

- Genius
I'm not sure what qualifies as a "genius," but I understood what they were trying to say. There happen to be people who think that someone like Atsumu was just born a talented player. But everything I do every day, from a scale of one to ten, guys like Atsumu do on a scale of one to twenty. Or it's a more effective ten. Or a denser ten. And sometimes instead of one to ten, they try things from A to Z. That's what goes through their heads.

- Glove80 Part 2
It's been almost 3 months now with the Glove80 and just like the name suggests, it fits like a glove. I learned that the staggered layout of a regular keyboard comes from the days of the typewriter. They had it staggered so that the metal bars don't hit each other when typing. But for some reason we just kept it when we moved to actual keyboards and never bothered to redesign it. If you spend multiple hours a day on the keyboard, I suggest you try out any split keyboard!

- Glove80
I just got myself an early birthday present, a new life partner, the Glove80. I'm currently on my third day of the adjustment period from a normal, staggered keyboard (I was on a Langtu GK65) to this new columnar layout. I'm proud to say that I've gotten up to 50-70% of my regular typing speed through doing focused practice on this site at least 15 minutes a day. I'm loving the thumb clusters, btw. Why the heck aren't these more commonplace?! Our thumbs are strong, let it do work!
