Software engineer here who works on web services. Most production-critical things in our workplace aren’t managed by GUI’s, or command lines… but by code. There are usually some infrastructure-as-code tools involved, like Terraform, CDK or Pulumi.

GUI’s are often reserved for quick fixes and trying out things on staging servers (derisively called “click-ops”).

I got a list that I purposefully set up to grow. It’s not a to-do list… It’s a “might do” list. When things get messy in my to-do list, I move those items to the might-do list.

Having 100 undone items on that list isn’t a shameful thing, it means I said “no” to all those items (either actively or passively) and I try to celebrate that.

I was considering it ngl, but the 60hz screen is a deal-breaker for me.
