Hello, we're nearly halfway through the year (July 2 is the middle)!

This week at work, I found that I wrote 1013 lines of code.
And it feels like it - there's some wrist discomfort

It's rare in my job to feel a physical limitation,
it was a good reminder to take care of my body better

I'll get back to doing deadlifts and squats, and will look to buy the wrist grippy thing.

I've been enjoying using AI (Gemini) with work,
I don't give it code or have it write code for me,
but I do use it for a smooth flow of Q&A -
From a cognitive-load perspective, having one static simple interface feels lighter than having to constantly flick through websites (e.g. google > stackoverflow > google > documentation) and having to process different formats and different answers.
It still does get a lot of things wrong,
I like to think of it as a rubber duck with little devil horns that is mostly helpful but sometimes tests you.
And I think that's just fine in a work environment, it keeps you engaged!

I am still in a bit of a creative rut,
though it's not that I don't have the vision for my next works.
My body just feels indifferent towards creation at the moment.
I think it's because I am happy -
My creativity is fueled heavily by negative emotions rather than positive,
so when I'm in a positive phase, I feel no motivation to create
