Some people would say that I'm not driven given I gave up on it, but the reality is, I make more in IT than the jobs I was being "filtered" by.
My time is money and money talks too. Going into IT I got to make more and keep my time that I would have spent chasing 8 interviews and leetcoding.

I didn't choose I.T. but the requirements to just enter Computer Science are so hilariously inflated that I stopped caring.

On Monday 04.11.2025 I uninstalled Microsoft Copilot from one of my test PCs with Windows 11. After restarting that PC on that same day, it REINSTALLED ITSELF again. Listen Microsoft - when I uninstall something from my PC it means I do not want it. Trash tier OS with this stuff.

I had my anxiety largely under control when I started my job because I felt like I had my life together. Lately though, it's been coming back and I've been having more and more panic attacks. The worst is while I'm trying to settle in to sleep so I'm losing sleep literally over it. 🤕

Remember, "The game was optimized for console" translates to "The devs carefully selected specific lower settings for the game".
There is no magic, YOU control the settings you set.
Some of the settings for Doom the Dark Ages, RDR2, etc on Console are the lowest ones on PC. Experiment!

Worried that weekends soon won't be enough to reset my weekly "mental health". The weeks lately keep ending in total burnout where I don't want to do *anything* once I clock out of work by Friday. Just end up tired and irritable. Not sure what I can do about it.
I think I need to take a vacation?

The US banned the sale of certain GPUs and chips to China because of a "national security threat".
Now the US wants to sell those GPUs and chips to China, but China is refusing to buy them.
This means "China is straining relations and is an adversary"

Speaker Johnson says China is straining U.S. relations with Nvidia chip ban
Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson called China an "adversary" of the U.S. on Wednesday after a report that the country has told tech companies to stop buying Nvidia's artificial intelligence chips. The Cyberspace Administration of China ordered companies to halt purchases of Nvidia's RTX Pro 6000D, a chip that was made for the country, the Financial Times reported, citing people familiar with the matter. "They steal our intellectual property," Johnson told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Wednesday. "They have no regard whatsoever for U.S. trademark law or any of the other provisions that make for fair trade agreements.
