Like how poorly did Jesus code my DNA? Ask him. By him I mean ChatGPT Jesus mode.

I was thinking of using SQLite on top of k3s/Longhorn to replicate it. Anyone do something similar? Folks mention light steam and aws but Jeff Bezos’s biceps are too much for me to handle.

Not sure why there’s a debate at all. The discussion is on using SQLite instead of jq and markdown files. People got lost on a tangent! :)

Also games are for leisure. The same thing is true in Hollywood—hundreds of crew members getting paid small wages relative to their long hours and a few stars getting millions.

I think part of the problem is that source code is always in flux. So to think of the satisfaction of completing a project seems difficult to imagine.

Big corporations invent new “features” and then axe them, even if the products are delightful; venture capitalists obsessed with building to exit on profit alone; open source developers trying to make a name for themselves by building something in Rust to improve performance by 5%.

Compare that to something like architecture or woodworking, gardening, baking, painting—creating real tangible things.

My recommendation is combine the two: use arduinos and/or raspberry PI to automate water delivery in your garden. Stuff like that that you can experience the value at first-hand. :)
