hello eaplmx! good to meet you. i overheard you talking about gemini over ham radio as i walked in, and i think that's super cool! and i hear you're bringing some spanish language content to the pub -- that's super cool too!

thank you for commenting. it's good to know someone else has felt this way. i actually do write code full time; most of it is maintenance and i have some techniques for keeping enough focus to stay productive, but that isn't 'flow' for me. when flow strikes, i end up doing high-level re-architecture work.

i'll be doing ludum dare this weekend so i've been giving daily offerings to the trickster gods of attention deficit. i hope it works.

Hey! Thank you for your kind words...

Happens the same to me when the flow strikes 😁 And don't get me started with looking to the next shiny thing... Happens to me all the time with my hobbies and sometimes with my work. Being creative makes it difficult for me to focus on the same thing in the long run.

I've been researching a lot about motivation (for my team) and purpose (for myself, mainly), and I think it's always an interesting subject between managing our emotional brain, our rational one, and our environment. It's fun at least to me trying to make it work, so here we are, and maybe we will be for many years, let's see!

Best luck with Ludum dare!
