@killyourfm Make sure to recommend Element X on mobile, unless people actually need the features on the classic Element client. Element X is way faster.

Also, some of the most productive developers I know produce very few commits either because they mostly help other people, or because their commits are finely-honed things of beauty that prevent the need for hundreds of later bug-fix commits.

You are not defined by the work you do, and any long "coding streak" someone says you have should be seen as a helpful signpost that you might be struggling to manage your workload or maybe suffering low self-esteem.

You are great, and the number of commits you made has nothing to do with that.

The fediverse is working. I am now following (using Mastodon) a "Learning Rust" community on Lemmy [1], who I found through them commenting on my peertube video [2] using Lemmy.

My screen is full of printf debugging. I'm repeatedly running the same UI-driven test with more and more log messages containing my initials so I can grep for them in the logs.

Send help.

@jezhiggins what is a Steve Maguire mode?

I've been coding for 35 years, I've had a job as a programmer for 20 years, had good feedback on those jobs, I've got a PhD in CompSci ...

... but if someone makes a negative comment on my work it can send me spinning.

@clacke glad it helped!
