    I was having a lot of random crashes and weird errors on my Mint install, using the logs, I tracked it down to a SSD fault.

    I really didn’t want to send it back, since I got it from Amazon and I’m in NZ… So after a bit of checking I found that the FW on the SSD was not the latest. Updated the FW, went from at least 1 crash per workday, to no crashes in the last 6 months.

    My SSD is a WD SN850X 4TB

    I have come through this, you sound like you are in a similar position to me.

    One thing that helped for me was, imagine yourself 5 or even 10 years in the past, looking at a person in your position. What would that version of you think of the current you? If it is something like “when I have what that guy has, then I’ll be happy”, examine why your level for “happiness” has changed over that time.

    Also stoic philosophy is great, the wisdom of 2500 years helps.

    That word “supposed”, you are not “supposed” to feel anything…you feel what you feel, accept that. Rather than valuing getting tasks completed, try to change your value to something like “I’m a dependable person”, I am the type of person who you can depend on to help get that project across the line, but sometimes higher priority things will come up.

    There is also the harry potter version, any time travel is woven into the only timeline. The past is “edited” to always have included the events time travel.

    This can be considered similar to the branching method; where the original branch without the events of the time travel simply ends; only the “new” branch continues.

    No this is the look you get when re-reading the code you wrote as a grad…with the perspective of 15 years experience.

    I was showing a new person examples of good and terrible code…they asked who wrote the code, I said that both were me about 13 years apart. It turns out that experience matters and you get better over time.
