of course this is an interpretation of my personal experience, YMMV.

a depressive episode is like being a clogged pipe.

nothing goes out, nothing goes in.

you don't want to talk, go out, or do anything. and you have no motivation to either read, eat, etc.

this forms a backlog between the clogged parts, which could suddenly break the pipe.

when the clog is fixed (even temporarily), you feel everything flowing nicely again. you want to talk to your friends, reading brings you joy, and ideas start flowing. productivity comes back.

Very close to finally release a usable version of a piece of software I’ve been working on for four years.

Nothing fancy, a CRUD app that outputs a preconfigured workflow for double entry accounting so you can manage your budget.

A budgeting app.

today was stressful but productive

Any newsletter provider that doesn't add a thousand trackers to the emails and signup forms?

the big downside of using passwordless login is that you depend on the service that delivers the email to login.

right now i can't login to linear because i can't get the login code.

when i retry, i get the past invalid code instead of the new one.

i'm stuck and unable to see my issues.

Yesterday my son and I asked ChatGPT how many quesadillas would it take to make the earth explode.
