I love coding so much. I don’t mean software, I mean just writing code and talking to the machine. […] Now most code I write is just tokens. Tens of thousands of tokens per day, empty. I skim through them to decide if they will work or not, accept or reject them. Again, and again… I have no empathy or emotion towards them, I feel nothing, I have become the computer that evaluates them. From machinist to machine. I can feel it. I can feel how it is taking me away from the path of understanding. Every day, little by little. You must have noticed it too.
Indeed, I have.
Of all bugs to have, I’m currently nursing a timezone-related error in my blog engine, and so everything’s appearing 10 hours ahead of time. Or maybe I just really am ahead of my time?
edit: add “(UTC)” to the field so i remember. fixed.
