"The fastest way to trigger neuroplasticity isn't playing brain games or reading research papers. It's forcing your brain to fail repeatedly at something you have zero natural talent for. high frustration is the literal chemical signal that forces synaptic rewiring."

On OSS, PRs -- at this point PRs are becoming (even more of a) time-losing proposition-- time to verify, clean up with AI is generally more than time I'd spend on fixing and validating myself with AI. So, well-written ISSUEs very valuable. PRs net negative. :-p

Omg. People claiming PKD books not good as movies (Bladerunner etc). WTF. Humanity is lost. Movies ok but his novels are SUBLIME scifi. Hill I will die on.
