I feel the same way. I do enjoy video tutorials to some extent. Sometimes I find it beneficial to see it in action, especially if I am misunderstanding something. Sometimes text can be too vague and it ends up taking way more time to understand.

On the other hand, I find that I actually finish things when it is text. Watching a video I tend to zone out. I had this issue in college more often than not, but text with music in the background I can grind at something for hours on end without a single break.

I only use reddit in 2 places. At work, where I am looking for an answer to something, I am not logged in and blocking ads. And the other is at home when I am winding down for the night. I use third party apps because the first party app sucks. I will just stop scrolling at home where I am logged in and they are gathering my data. And I will avoid reddit for answers when I am at work in favor of other forums.

I find myself commenting much more here than I did on reddit. I think that is because I want this to be successful and I want to be able to be done with reddit.

It took me about two years to end up in a scenario where I was able to demonstrate a bunch of knowledge that would have otherwise gone unnoticed. I’m at about 5.5 years at my current job and currently a Solution Architect. I have stayed where I am at because in the last 5 years I have gone up 30k in salary and my next job change in October will be another 10k. I don’t plan on leaving any time soon.

I wish I had something to contribute to answer this question, but I have not owned an oled monitor to test this on. But I would be curious to see if there is a difference between oled on linux and not. I have seen some people mention poor color accuracy when using amd cards in Linux, but I also have been unable to test this.

Anything that is spicy and chicken. Fries are a plus.

I have not used these specific books, but my previous experience with Packt has been hit and miss with majority being more towards the miss. Some bad practices I had to unlearn, poor writing and overall not a super enjoyable experience to work through. I usually jump on the O'Reilly published books as well as the Manning books. If it is a Packt bundle, I usually just try and find the same topic on a free youtube video or I just read the documentation directly.

I am in the same boat with this. I prefer not to have my data tracked, especially my health performance. Currently, I have been doing it the old fashion way using pen and paper and stopping between sets to get my heart rate. It would be much more convenient to not have to, but I haven't found anything that I trust with my data.
