"Burned Out"
Thursday, 10 April 2008 11:21 pm , 2 comments

I am browsing some code I wrote a couple of months ago, and, for the life of me, I can't really understand how I built it, how I thought of the algorithms and data-structures I used. Often enough I get to this point, whereas I just can't get my mind to recall things, process input and produce output efficiently ( i.e think straight ), help me focus and, indirectly, provide me with confidence and motivation.

That otherwise malfunctioning mind is leading me to believe this is all due to me overworking the crap out of it, coupled with a good dose of depression and insufficient stimulation of my pleasure center. I remain hopeful that I will restore its efficiency someday soon and along with it, stabilize my sanity and feel good, maybe even happy if I am lucky enough. What a clusterfuck.

Favorite Quotations

  • Focused, hard work is the real key to success. Keep your eyes on the goal, and just keep taking the next step towards completing it. If you aren't sure which way to do something, do it both ways and see which works best.
  • Focus is a matter of deciding what things you are not going to do.
  • Simple is Beautiful
  • In the information age, the barriers [to entry into programming] just aren't there. The barriers are self imposed. If you want to set off and go develop some grand new thing, you don't need millions of dollars of capitalization. You need enough pizza and Diet Coke to stick in your refrigerator, a cheap PC to work on, and the dedication to go through with it. We slept on floors. We waded across rivers.
  • Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.
  • Easy is what I know, difficult is what I don't.
