Great tool! It uncovered a surprising amount of unnecessary exports in our codebase. Really streamlines things.
One interesting observation: when using it with our Next.js project, it flags all page TypeScript files as unused. This inadvertently highlights a potential drawback of file-system based routing - it can lead to less explicit code relationships.
That's an interesting idea! Right now it lets you preview either the original file, or with the silence cut out (and you can quickly toggle between those). I guess this could be a third state, to only play back the cuts.
For my own workflow I usually play back the recording with the silence cut out, and tweak as I go. (The new version I'm working on has the ability to manually cut/keep parts of the timeline). It's way faster than what I used to do, which was play it back while making the cuts as I went. I'm not sure I'd personally want to listen back to only the cuts because it'd be easy to lose my place, but I could see how someone could want to do that.
ADHDer here. WFH was a nightmare the first six months, but the past few months have been working out great. My findings from this past year:
* Finding the right medication, in the right dose. Biggest QoL improvement. YMMV
* Whenever I get lost in the sauce and start spinning my wheels, I schedule a call with a colleague and ask them to help sort my priorities out. This also helps me with accountability, in a softer way than accountability-by-authority. This might require some self-awareness.
* Finding a note-taking/task management system that works for me. So far, I've been having the most success with a combination of Roam Research; Apple Notes and Muse for drawing/diagramming on my iPad; and Todoist for hard reminders.
* Getting enough physical activity. My headspace becomes awful if I don't get at least 30 minutes of walking in during the day.
* Finding my context shift to work mode. Most days, 15 minutes outdoors first thing in the morning after checking my task list is enough. For rougher days, I work from the café down the street.
* Avoiding social media before lunch, as it stresses me out.
* I found the eureka moments striking at odd times, like evenings or in bed. I rarely regret following these strokes of inspiration, but they can really throw my off my work/life balance. Cutting my days shorter (most days), and allowing myself to work when inspiration strikes (a couple times a week), has really helped in lowering my stress levels.
* A couple days a week without scheduled meetings. I can't focus if I know I'm going to have a meeting in 1 hour.
* Splurging on equipment. If I'm going to spend a lot of time in front of my screen, I might as well get that 4K 32" and a G915 TKL.
So I really enjoy the spatial paradigm with Muse. It feels like a digital whiteboard - I can paste images, resize them, throw them around, and ink over them, which makes it great for thinking. Compare this to Apple Notes, where each note acts like a document. I can ink, write and paste images into a note - but text, ink and images are all their separate blocks, flows from up to down, and cannot "interact" with each other.
Further, the Muse interface is very frictionless. Erasing ink is just holding a finger while using the Pencil. Switching tools is just swiping in on the screen with the pencil. Compare this to Apple Notes, where I usually need to chord several taps on different parts of the screen altogether just to change the tool or ink color.
I picked up writing music a few years ago - something I had been longing to do since my early teens, but avoided because I hated the feeling of having no idea what I was doing.
I’ve been working on a track for the past few months. And for once, I’m really happy where it’s heading! Work and ‘rona are cutting into my energy levels hard right now, but I’d love to finish it up someday.
While concerta did help in some sense, I had the same side effects as you. In my experience, Elvanse feels more like it "cures" my ADHD while retaining my personality and creativity. Oh, and (almost) no side effects!
> Is unconscious bias training the worst example of bullshit you have experienced in your professional life or the thing that has aggravated you the most?
I can't see the parent making this claim at all; are you sure that your interpretation is in good faith?
> Homosexuality was legalized in 1944 in Sweden, compared to the U.S., where it was legalized nationwide in 2003.
While homosexuality was legalized in Sweden in 1944, it was classed as a mental disorder until 1979 and it wasn't until 2009 when same-sex marriage was legalized; five years after the first state in the US legalized it.
