Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
I'm the primary developer for a third party tool for Elite Dangerous and this is basically my entire thought process when I want to work on it.
I could work on Observatory...
Or I could play some Elite...
Or I could just stare at my screen ineffectually for several hours.
Staring at the screen wins frighteningly often.
I came back to playing a few weeks ago and absolutely stopped working on the 3rd party tool for X4 that I was making.
Now, to get back to making programs, I am going to completely stop playing for a while. Because when I start dong something, I feel like doing another thing and then another and it goes on and the day is over.
I also tend to be stuck thinking sometimes, whether to make the program I want, to put on my CV or to complete my resume website and spend a few minutes of staring at the screen, until I just go make some food.
I hate that feeling of bouncing between things, or of just staring at my screen so much. So much. But when it happens, I am rarely able to snap out of it in the moment. It usually takes a few days and a mood change to fix it.
Step 1: be depressed
Step 2: Wake up in the morning, have the feeling of doing anything being unappealing
Step 3: Nap until bedtime
Step 4: go to bed
Depression and social media use is also a fatal combination, a lot of people online really shouldn’t be for their own sake.
I shouldn't be left alive for my own sake
The napping tends to be escapism to make the bad feelings go away, speaking from experience
Feels a little too close to home, except maybe the 3 hour nap part, more like dozed off but never reached REM for 45 mins.
Laser guided munition in comic form. I have taken 100% of the blast.
Nothing a short nap can't fix.
This is exactly me when I have some free time
Why not a 6 hour nap?
Yeah, that way they also get a 3 hour nap
Taking a nap for the win!
This is definitely me isolating with COVID over the past weekend except music instead of games
