    Yeah, people got different backs and different injuries. I’ve done a ton of rehab (just strength training basically) so mine’s not nearly as sensitive as it used to be. But the wrong mattress can still leave me in rough shape. Like, hard to get through the day, and I say that as kind of a glutton for punishment TBH.

    I’m active, just slightly overweight (beer and pizza, shit goes hard), but I have a couple muscle spasms from old injuries that’ll probably never truly be gone entirely.

    I’m also a pretty frugal individual, but a decent (for my needs) mattress is non negotiable for me. Legit can’t have a normal life with one that works poorly. Just gets worse and worse night after night, no matter what I do, till I can’t walk or stand really. Takes like a week or two at max, but I can speed run it too sometimes lol.

    We just have a basic Leesa (no idea if they’re still around), pretty straightforward latex foam dealie. Think it was around $1k, maybe 7 years ago. Zero issues, sleep like a dream on it, holding up great too. I don’t know that it’s a one size fits all situation, but it does seem to work great for my spine in particular.

    Ahem. This is the internet, surely you’re aware of where you are?

    What, you’re just gonna…agree to disagree or something? Throwing out decades of tradition? What’s next? Just gonna let someone be factually incorrect about something without a word of recrimination or even basic correction?!

    You’re headed down a dark path.




  • Utterly tone deaf, some of these guys, it’s amazing. Had a new CEO open a meeting shortly after he started with a story about visiting an apiary (bee farm) with his family. His unironic takeaway which he shared with us, somehow missing the poignant relevance of what he was saying - “It turns out the drones just don’t do very much”.

    It was like he intended an ice breaker with a personal anecdote, and it started out fine, but he couldn’t help but just tell literally all of us how he really feels. Amazing.






  • I really love Yakuake too and will keep it forever.

    I’d like to get a little more…“dextrous” with it? But there’s a problem lol. It’s so very immediately convenient with no effort involved at all that my brain kinda refuses to consider complicating it.

    Literally pressing F12 to go in and out at will, and that’s it - that’s the entire learning curve I’ve engaged with lol.

    I don’t even know what else it might do beyond tabs. Not even hotkeys. It’s too (blissfully) easy to use, it ceases to be a layer in my brain entirely, I think.

    Just wanna say, great job on the feedback reception. Critically important (and often hard!!) skill, to get the value while leaving the ego-hit. If you handle criticism this well as a non-fulltime-dev, on a project you care about and that you have solo’ed - I have a feeling you have a lot of dev potential.
