i read this somewhere, and i can’t recall where now, but it anecdotally feels very true:

as soon as you tell someone about something you’re working on but haven’t finished yet, you get a premature dopamine hit. for some reason, that messes with the reward centre in your brain and makes it less likely to actually finish the fucking thing, like you’ve already sucked the juice out leaving an empty husk. so, my secret to finishing programming side projects has been to tell no one of them until they’re ready. this is heavily paraphrased, i know nothing.

i use it for my office computer, gentoo at home. it stays out of my fuckin’ way and has the science and math libraries i need. my only complaint is i’d rather be using gentoo.
