09:01 I'm home again, and had some ideas for handling the nearby chunks collisions data structure
// matrix = T[][]
matrix.insert(position, m);
I've been feeling some apathy for software discussions, it has been hard to enjoy content and every discussion online seems so useless and superficial. I really have some concerns about not having "a place for me" in this area.
I'm not excited about most of the stuff people say they are and most of problems folks discuss online looks like things that were solved years ago being reinvented and renamed. And it doesn't seem different in other fields. At first I thought it was a front-end thing, but back-end developers have the same loop regarding Clean Code™️ ~~shit~~ commandments, my-framework-is-better-than-yours and all this high level useless discussions — hope not sound like an asshole — which at the end of the day seems just like ego trips & bikeshedding.

ok I made so you can move between adjacent chunks, much simpler than I thought, although I believe my algorithm for these matrices may achieve bad performance on scale. I'm willing to handle it when it comes the time since I usually suffer much more from early optimizations trying to think every case in advance than real problems running my projects
next thing to make I guess is to actually display and share players instead of the server processing each as an individual session. this way players can see each others and I can start make it looking interesting
also, notes for self:

was looking for some distraction on twitch, but any stream seems interesting -- this is what I meant when I say these times I feel apathy about stuff. Was it my "social energy" being drained in this medical trip I had? I am aware of how tired I feel but idk always seems weird to feel this way. I'll get another coffee

thinking about the twitter bait engagement loop… basically people posting things in order to generate an overreaction (usually for being something that "should be obvious" for the one who posted) and when it goes out of control people are criticized or mocked for being baited
the bubble I'm most familiar within is the tech one from my country, which looks pretty stupid being honest, maybe I'm just too boring and can't see the fun of confusing people and generating flame wars over nothing. welp, in the end I'm the joke since I'm here wasting this time complaining about that
I'm not feeling quite productive right now, I need to get something for lunch & am unsure of what to do right now, so I'm trying to spend this "can't handle boredom" moment by typing here. I hate my self-consciousness
