-This site has gone through a lot of changes over the years. From being written
-in Flask and Bottle to moving on to static site generators. I have used and
-tested probably 10s of them my now. From homebrew solutions to the biggest and
-the baddest. From Bash scripts to Node.js disasters. I've seen some things, no
-doubt. Not all bad.
-
-I have been closely observing the web and where the trends are going, and I
-don't like what I see. Instead of internet being this weird place where
-experimentation is happening, it all became stale and formulized. Boring,
-actually. Really boring. And sad. Where is that old, revolutionary FU spirit I
-remember? It's still there, I know. But it's being drowned by the voices of
-mediocrity and formulaic boredom.
-
-It almost feels like that the internet stopped for 10 years and only now
-something has started happening. With all the insanity around the world. People
-hating people without actual reasons, just because it's fashionable to hate and
-crowd is saying so. Sad state of affairs.
-
-All this is contributing to this overall negativity masked as apathy. Everybody
-walking in lockstep. Instead of being creative and bold, we are just
-re-inventing the world and making the same mistakes. Maybe, just maybe, some
-things are good enough and there is no need to try to be too smart for our own
-good. After N-attempts, maybe something should click inside our heads to maybe
-say: "This thing, opinion, etc. is actually really good, and even after several
-attempts it still holds."
-
-The older I get, the more careful I am of my own thoughts and why I think the
-way I think. More and more, I try to understand people with opposite
-opinions. Far from perfect, but closer to bearable. And then I see people
-hearing or reading a thing on internet and let's fucking goooooo! Strong
-opinions are a sign of a weak and uneducated mind. I am more and more sure of
-this.
-
-It's gotten to a point where you can with great certainty deduce a person's
-personality based on one or two opinions. How boring have we become. No wonder
-people can't talk to each other. These would be very quick conversations anyway.
-
-I just got remembered of a song, ["Hi
-Ren"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_nc1IVoMxc). The ending talks about being
-stiff and not being able to dance. Such an amazing metaphor. And we as people
-have gone so far, we can't even walk or even crawl normally anymore. We have
-forgotten that the most beautiful things in life have a great deal of
-uncertainty about them. We want instant gratification. Not only that, but we
-want absolute obedience. Complete control over others, because we have zero
-control of ourselves. And all the lies we could tell ourselves will not help us
-out of this situation.
-
-It is funny how I catch myself from time to time being a complete idiot. It's
-like having an outer body experience. I can see myself being an idiot, and
-cannot stop myself. It serves as a learning lesson to stop before speaking. To
-think before saying. And to crawl before walking.
-
-So there is still time. We can dance once more. All we need to do is stop for a
-second. Me and you. Us two is a start. Let's not try to change the world, but
-rather nudge ourselves just a tiny bit. And if we only did that?! Just
-imagine. Each of us nudged ourselves a small, tiny bit, the world would heal. If
-we would just put down the phones and ignored Internet for a day or two. Put
-visiting websites that feed on us on hold. Listened to just one sentence and try
-to understand it from a person who we completely disagree with. I truly believe
-that this is possible.
-
-Life is about suffering and joy. And instead of wishing suffering on others and
-excepting joy for yourselves, we should for a brief moment want suffering for
-ourselves and wish joy on others. Wouldn't that be an amazing sight to see?
-
-I caught myself hating on Rust. And I deeply thought about it afterward. Why did
-I do it? It is obviously not for me. So why the hell was I being so negative
-towards it? I think that I know the answer. I was negative because that is
-easy. Because it's much easier to hate on things than to say to yourself: "Well,
-you know what? This is not for me. I will focus on creation and not
-destruction. This is who I want to be. This is what fills me with joy and
-purpose." Where joy is keeping me happy and purpose scares the shit out of me
-and keeps me honest. This is who I want to be. Admit to myself when I am wrong
-and accept the faults that I have without reservation and with courage march on.
-
-I just realized that this blog post is a sort of therapy for me. It's
-cathartic. Going thought the history of this site and remembering all the
-decisions and annoyances that came with it. When I was cursing at the tools. And
-time moved on, and the site is still here. It serves as a reminder that
-perseverance wins at the end. If we just let things go.
-
-This came with a decision that simplifying life and removing all the unnecessary
-negativity is key. Rather than worrying about what the internet is saying, what
-the world is trying to take from you, you are the only one who can say no. And
-create instead of destroy.
-
-I don't have an ending for this post, so I will say this. We live in the most
-amazing times in the recorded history, and we should be internally grateful for
-it. Create and study, this should be my mantra. Just create and let the world
-happen. And when you feel yourself to be too certain, stop and check how deep in the
-shit you are already. Strong opinions are a sign of a weak and uneducated
-mind. Hate and disdain is for the weak.
