It's social media that has turned our brains into mincemeat. I can't concentrate on anything for more than 5 minutes anymore. I'm definitely worse at coding than I was 10 years ago.


Yeah, I am actually feeling this a little bit. Five years ago I could still focus properly. It is already way harder I find. Though another part is that I am way more aware of things I do not know, so I get caught in decision paralysis because of things I do know will break, and because of things I did not know of.
