I am tired...

I remember this time in tech where every couple months something super cool to get into popped up. Atom, Prusa printers, new version of TypeScript, etc. Even at its peak, I always felt like there was this one thing to dig into in my spare time for a few weeks.

That's not where we are any more. Just from the top of mind this is the list of things I desperately wanna find time to dig into. MLX, OMP, Herdr, Omarchy Quatro, DeepSeek flash shit, Kimi K3, using the DGX Spark for prefill, that weird YC harness, delta from zen, finally build my own Pi set up, I haven't even had time to properly dig into durable workers again (I am a Cloudflare newbie so for me this is a recent interest), ohh and I wanna build my own split keyboard.

IT IS TOO MUCH

I am tired, this is sick as fuck, but it's too much, I can't decide what to try first, I can't make enough time however much I want to, I need to come up with something better.

I don't know if this is a symptom of everyone in their 20s in the space, and I will have all the boomers telling me this is normal, but it didn't use to feel like this to me.

I am tired of trying to keep up with all the things I find cool, but at the same time I find them cool, I really really really want to keep up with them.

This is by no means an original idea, but AI has accelerated the speed of building so much that I am lost in my interests.

Now don't get me wrong, my startup is cool as shit, I am hyped as fuck what we are doing there, but to relax I used to go learning about all the new cool shit, and now it feels like the opposite. My work is what I do to relax and the shit that stresses me out is that for the 3rd month in a row I have delayed understanding what is different about code review tools like CodeRabbit and how they handle the codebase complexity.

AI has created this wonderful age of an endless stream of constantly cool new shit, enabling all the people that used to do one cool thing every couple years to do something cool every couple months, but I AM TIRED.

Somehow my hobbies are now the most intense feeling part of what I do. Somehow I don't get a break anymore. Somehow I need to find a solution.

What that solution is, I don't know. I am not giving up all the cool new shit, but something has to change. My brain needs to find a little more peace...
