Hormones. Specifically your thyroid can dramatically change your weight by Hormones production. In my case my thyroid has almost completely shutdown. I could just eat a carrot every day and still gain weight without synthetic hormones. I believe it can sometimes go the other way make it hard to gain weight. I strongly encourage having hormone levels checked and balanced. I wish I’d known about this 20 or 30 years ago.

Olive seems pretty good but it is really hard to get working.

Having looked closer, kitty just looks too complicated. I just want a nice terminal. Kitty doesn’t have scrollbars either. I’ll stick with Alacritty for now.

I’ve been using Alacritty (on Wayland) for the past few years. I like it’s customizability. My only real complaint is that there are times when I really miss having scrollbars. After reading this thread I’ll have to give kitty a try. I think I tried it a couple if years ago and was not impressed, but maybe it has gotten a lot better since then.

You can already return complex data structures using jsonagg and recursive queries. I can see wanting to make that easier and more intuitive to do. Current sql does not restrict you to just 2D table data structures though.

I would add information security, which requires a lot of theory, but not always a lot of coding.

Also help desk / IT work, which is hands on with technology, but not theory intensive (usually).

Devops usually requires a lot of coding these days, but there was a time, and such roles may still exist, where the system administration tasks of capacity planning, backups, disaster recovery, purchasing, rack & stack, and access controls would keep you quite busy without much coding.

Often the VC’s, if they have control of the company, will bring in “gray hair” managers to try to turn things around. The kids formerly running the show may or may not stick around. The first thing the gray hairs do is cut back to a skeleton staff, cut the snacks, and even coffee. They’ll try to sublet the surplus office space. One startup I worked at had a fire sale on desks and laptops and such. I got some good deals. Infosec goes out the window, as do most new features. You trim back to the barest minimum infrastructure and staff. If your books seem reasonable, then they try to sell what is left. It can be very strange being one of 5 or so essential staff left after 50 or 100 of your coworkers are gone.

I’m guessing it doesn’t run on chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese.

There is a movie coming out in a few months about a US Civil War: https://youtu.be/aDyQxtg0V2w?si=oRudiMaKVQmBy2R_

I hate fixing other people’s code. It is one of the reasons I don’t like letting an AI write my code first draft either.

Maybe the world’s problems would be saved by now if you hadn’t distracted her. Thanks a lot.
