Wish I could give you an npm package for that, but best I can do is a process: [0] keep a log / journal [1] make a change [2] observe the result [3] iterate

[0] is to raise awareness and detect cause and effect. Keep it minimalist. I once went overboard with a whole spreadsheet. Plain text turned out better. What to track? Inputs (food, media, activities) and outputs (physical and psychological state). [1] Try eating better, exercise, changing media exposure, time outside. If you go down the supplement rabbit hole, start with simple things like magnesium. Attach new, better habits to your existing routine. [2] Watch out for delayed reactions. For instance, what I ate 48 hours ago has significance. [3] while(true)

Random bonus: if there is something that negatively affects you, seek out its polar positive opposite. I'm very easy bothered by sounds. Leaf blowers shall die. But this also means sounds have a strong positive leverage on my mental state: https://youtu.be/gKdFbdrk-58




Does anyone else find themselves performing a UML-like design phase, but with code?

I like to create classes/methods with little/no/mock implementation to see how it will fit together. If there's something where I'm not sure how it works (third party API/lib I've not used before) I'll get more granular with it.

There's tooling to produce diagrams from code if someone really wants it. But either way my design phase is now usable code.

That being said, I still have to admit this rarely survives contact with actual implementation. It just feels better.


Sometimes, yes, if I have a bunch of tiny classes that need to fit together. Seeing them in a diagram can also be useful.

Pretty rare though.


So we'll just all become #VanLife nomads and everything will be fine.


There is a hotel in Death Valley. People stay there when it's 125. If your home town gets 3 degrees hotter, I think you'll figure it out.


looking forward to all of the crops and livestock i need to stay alive figuring it out!


Your area might no longer be ideal. The area that was a little too cool will become ideal. Technically more people die per year from cold than heat. Why do you want more people to die?? /Slight sarc


Challenge: turn it into a nice bot (as top comment has done) and then try go get it to go back to being evil.


Economists will ponder for decades why LLMs never increased labor productivity.

One of these days someone will try it. Spank them.


I'm a deep state employee of an as yet unacknowledged three letter agency whose propaganda blog received no traffic from this page until grandparent posted the link. I am a master strategist, playing chess in dimensions string theorists only dream of.
