| 7 | in Flask and Bottle to moving on to static site generators. I have used and | ||
| 8 | tested probably 10s of them my now. From homebrew solutions to the biggest and | ||
| 9 | the baddest. From Bash scripts to Node.js disasters. I've seen some things, no | ||
| 10 | doubt. Not all bad.<p>I'have been closely observing the web and where the trends are going, and I | ||
| 11 | don't like what I see. Instead of internet being this weird place where | ||
| 12 | experimentation is happening, it all became stale and formulized. Boring, | ||
| 13 | actually. Really boring. And sad. Where is that old, revolutionary FU spirit I | ||
| 14 | remember? It's still there, I know. But it's being drowned by the voices of | ||
| 15 | mediocrity and formulaic boredom.<p>It almost feels like that the internet stopped for 10 years and only now | ||
| 16 | something has started happening. With all the insanity around the world. People | ||
| 17 | hating people without actual reasons, just because it's fashionable to hate and | ||
| 18 | crowd is saying so. Sad state of affairs.<p>All this is contributing to this overall negativity masked as apathy. Everybody | ||
| 19 | walking in lockstep. Instead of being creative are bold, we are just | ||
| 20 | re-inventing the world and making the same mistakes. Maybe, just maybe, some | ||
| 21 | things are good enough and there is no need to try to be too smart for our own | ||
| 22 | good. After N-attempts, maybe something should click inside our heads to maybe | ||
| 23 | say: "This thing, opinion, etc. is actually really good, and even after several | ||
| 24 | attempts it still holds."<p>The older I get, the more careful I am of my own thoughts and why I think the | ||
| 25 | way I think. More and more, I try to understand people with opposite | ||
| 26 | opinions. Far from perfect, but closer to bearable. And then I see people | ||
| 27 | hearing or reading a thing on internet and let's fucking goooooo! Strong | ||
| 28 | opinions are a sign of a weak and uneducated mind. I am more and more sure of | ||
| 29 | this.<p>It's gotten to a point where you can with great certainty deduce a person's | ||
| 30 | personality based on one or two opinions. How boring have we become. No wonder | ||
| 31 | people can't talk to each other. These would be very quick conversations anyway.<p>I just got remembered of a song, "Hi Ren". The ending talks about being stiff | ||
| 32 | and not being able to dance. Such an amazing metaphor. And we as people have | ||
| 33 | gone so far, we can't even walk or even crawl normally anymore. We have | ||
| 34 | forgotten that the most beautiful things in life have a great deal of | ||
| 35 | uncertainty about them. We want instant gratification. Not only that, but we | ||
| 36 | want absolute obedience. Complete control over others, because we have zero | ||
| 37 | control of ourselves. And all the lies we could tell ourselves will not help us | ||
| 38 | in this situation.<p>It is funny how I catch myself from time to time being a complete idiot. It's | ||
| 39 | like having an outer body experience. I can see myself being an idiot, and | ||
| 40 | cannot stop myself. It serves as a learning lesson to stop before speaking. To | ||
| 41 | think before saying. And to crawl before walking.<p>So there is still time. We can dance once more. All we need to do is stop for a | ||
| 42 | second. Me and you. Us two is a start. Let's not try to change the world, but | ||
| 43 | rather nudge ourselves just a tiny bit. And if we only did that. Each of us | ||
| 44 | nudged ourselves a small, tiny bit, the world would heal. If we would just put | ||
| 45 | down the phones and ignored Internet for a day or two. Put visiting websites | ||
| 46 | that feed on us on hold. Listened to just one sentence and try to understand it | ||
| 47 | from a person who we completely disagree with. I truly believe that this is | ||
| 48 | possible.<p>Life is about suffering and joy. And instead of wishing suffering on others and | ||
| 49 | excepting joy for yourselves, we should for a brief moment want suffering for | ||
| 50 | ourselves and wish joy on others. Wouldn't that be an amazing sight to see?<p>I caught myself hating on Rust. And I deeply thought about it afterward. Why did | ||
| 51 | I do it? It is obviously not for me. So why the hell was I being so negative | ||
| 52 | towards it? I think that I know the answer. I was negative because that is | ||
| 53 | easy. Because it's much easier to hate on things than to say to yourself: "Well, | ||
| 54 | you know what? This is not for me. I will focus on creation and not | ||
| 55 | destruction. This is who I want to be. This is what fills me with joy and | ||
| 56 | purpose." Where joy is keeping me happy and purpose scares the shit out of me | ||
| 57 | and keeps me honest. This is who I want to be. Admit to myself when I am wrong | ||
| 58 | and accept the faults that I have without reservation and with courage march on.<p>I just realized that this blog post is a sort of therapy for me. It's | ||
| 59 | cathartic. Going thought the history of this site and remembering all the | ||
| 60 | decisions and annoyances that came with it. When I was cursing at the tools. And | ||
| 61 | time moved on, and the site is still here. It serves as a reminder that | ||
| 62 | perseverance wins at the end. If we just let things go.<p>This came with a decision that simplifying life and removing all the unnecessary | ||
| 63 | negativity is key. Rather than worrying about what the internet is saying, what | ||
| 64 | the world is trying to take from you, you are the only one who can say no. And | ||
| 65 | create instead of destroy.<p>I don't have an ending for this post, so I will say this. We live in the most | ||
| 66 | amazing times in the recorded history, and we should be internally grateful for | ||
| 67 | it. Create and study, this should be my mantra. Just create and let the world | ||
| 68 | happen. And you feel yourself to be too certain, stop and check how deep in the | ||
| 69 | shit you are already. Strong opinions are a sign of a weak and uneducated | ||
| 70 | mind. Hate and disdain is for the weak.</div></div></main><footer><hr><div><h3>Want to comment or have something to add?</h3>You can write me an email at | ||
