Aug 18, 2026, 11:25 AMsome weeks you get lots of gamedev done and other weeks progress crawls forward and then you beat yourself up about it and that doesn't help so progress is even slower and this is all good and normal and healthy actually

when you feel you haven't done enough work, just run the robot vacuum! that's kinda like work if you squint a bit
ɗ𐐩ʃƕρʋdeshipu@fosstodon.orgAug 18, 2026, 11:38 AM@eniko I've been putting off my 5 lines of code for two months now. I think it's cosmic rays.
Aug 18, 2026, 11:39 AMThere’s nothing wrong with you and you’ve always been enough.
Aug 18, 2026, 11:51 AM@eniko I've been in some "software archeology" roles where I'd study code for two weeks and make a two line change. I was ranked as "consistently exceeding expectations". It was rather stressful.

sobkassobkas@mastodon.socialAug 18, 2026, 1:25 PM@eniko As I'm aiming for 10x in vacuuming I have setup automatic scheduled vacuuming while I sleep. So 10x and passive vacuuming income(or whatever it is)
Oblomovoblomov@sociale.networkAug 18, 2026, 2:20 PM@eniko it's like the most perfect painted crab zen story.
Aug 18, 2026, 11:38 AM@eniko Can relate
Sounds like AuDHD in my case 😬
Mauriziooldschoolpixels@mastodon.gamedev.placeAug 18, 2026, 11:51 AM@eniko eh, dear old executive dysfunction... I can relate, and a lot of other folks can, too.
