multiple processes?!

I use UK-Layout, with some remappings for my precious umlauts

q+altgr ->ü
a+altgr -> ä
s+altgr -> ß
z+algr -> ö

bonus: in contrast to the peasentry I have an uppercase ẞ (altgr+shift+s)

As opposed to Threads stealing all brands companies and users anyway?

The extend-phase is when people migrate to threads, who would have stayed otherwise.

the general strategie is called “embrace, extend, extinguish”. This strat is the reason, why everyone uses MS Office today

no, you’ll also have to learns each libraries special quirks on your OS

Interesting how college ruined your love for programming

it was probably the general pressure and depression.

and work got it back

the costumers and the colleague were nice people. I enjoyed solving actual real-life problems.

Studying Computer Science constantly fed me with new interesting ideas, and I still had more time to play around with those ideas.

after my first job, I went back to college (uni?) to get my masters. There I had lots of fun implementing some of the theoretical stuff.

what kind of projects or whatever can i do to have fun again without feeling stressed.

• Write programs that scratch your own itch.
• write bots for communities you care about.
• write userscripts/browserextentions
• do programming/hacking challenges

(for stuff that is always online, like a bot, or a webservice, I recommend getting a dedicated computer, like a raspberry pi or a small vps)

also some general recommendation

• keep you goals small and tangible. If a thing takes more than one sitting to complete, it will add to your stress when you add the remainder to your todo list.
• do the simplest thing, that could possibly work.
• when doing new stuff, use chatgpt to come up with a plan/boilerplate/demo/2nd opinion.

from personal experience: before I went to college, I had lots of fun doing programming challenges. During college I lost all interest in programming. At my first real job, I regained my love for programming, when I started programming things, that actual people need to improve their daily work. Since then I enjoy programming for work, as well as in my free time.
