Predecessor & successor should not be named so

In certain contexts predecessor and successor imply that one thing replaces another. This makes the meaning of one work item preceding another ambiguous.

Say Work Item A is a predecessor of Work Item B. Does it mean that A is no longer valid and only B should be considered a "new version"/successor version of A? Or that A needs to be done before B?

The answer is the latter, but this is especially confusing since "produces for" and "consumed by" are valid options for remote work and are displayed in the same context. These terms are less ambiguous: one work item's value is used / required for another work item. For this reason, one would think the terms predecessor and successor were specifically used to disambiguate the two ways of understanding it from one another.

And anyway, why the f*ck are we naming things differently than GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Linear... EVERY OTHER WELL ESTABLISHED SERVICE. Doesn't "blocks .../blocked by ..." suffice?

Is my psychologist avoiding me?

I've had two sessions - one week between them. That was 2 months ago and since then I've felt slightly forgotten since I've had to follow up and ask for a new appointment. Both times they cancelled in the morning just an hour before the appointment due to illness.

I don't really mind the cancelling at the very last minute, but I am curious whether they are really just avoiding me and if this is a social cue to go look elsewhere or if I just need to be patient and they're actually ill.

How do you play against Brand/Ashe botlane?

https://preview.redd.it/ubsa455us37h1.png?width=1279&format=png&auto=webp&s=19e9ad995da3c428966fc12486be1ded35f196a6

Poke. poke. poke. slow. slow. poke. burn to death. In a desperate cry of agony I built wit's end, but that didn't help.

Throughout the entire game, vel koz hit 1 knockup, but even then brand killed me before I could get more than a single three basic attacks on him. I asked for ganks twice at minute 8, and we got 3 "ganks" which were all while we were under 100 HP and they were full HP.

I don't want to blame teammates - shit happens and we probably didn't make it easy to gank, but somehow I want to understand how to play against this in a situation like this. Is this the type of game you just have to concede and admit that you have absolutely no say in the outcome of the game? Was building Wit's end a massive troll?

Edit: Here's what I tried this game and seemingly didn't work: play extremely passive and soak as much XP as possible. Farm when I can, but don't sacrifice poke for it (which was hard). My no. 1 priority was just to survive until late game no matter how boring that would be. Only exception was if vel koz would hit his knockup and/or engaged after brand had use any of his abilities, then I would go for a kill (which as I mentioned, happened once, but that ended up being my only death before 20 min).

At 20 min in into the game I was 0/1/0 with 120 farm vs 2/0/2 brand with 180 farm. Should I have played more aggressively? Used bushes better? Swapped lanes? Try to trade harder when brand misses his abilities?

Drittlei mat... Hva gjør man da?

Kan stirre på alt tullet jeg har i kjøleskapet og enten er maten for ork å lage, eller så er jeg drittlei ostesmørbrød for titusende gang. Ferdigretter føles så... "tomme" eller smaksløse, og frossenpizza har det gått for mye av i det siste. Ender til slutt opp med å gomle på litt godteri og brus, eller annen snacks helt til jeg blir kvalm og legger meg for å sove.

Har noen tips? Relaterer noen og kan si at det går bra? Til kontekst så har jeg noen få middager jeg orker å lage og spise, men blir fort lei de hvis jeg bare spiser det: taco, spaghetti, hjemmelaget pizza. Fy faen ass det er flaut

Edit: Forventer å få "du må ta deg sammen", "du klarer å lage mat" osv. men første løsningen min er ikke å gå på reddit og spørre om hjelp altså:) Helt siden jeg flytta ut for 6 år siden så har det å spise, sove, ha rutine generelt, vært ufattelig krevsomt også har jeg duppet inn og ut av depresjon. Også diagnosert med ADHD og drar til psykolog, men ja uansett... Ville prøve noe nytt nå og ty til Reddit for å høre om jeg kanskje bare gjør noe feil eller kan gjøre bedre enn å stange hodet i veggen på samme måte igjen og igjen og bli forundret over hvorfor ingenting endrer seg.

I didn't realise I was missing a will to live. Now that I know - things are easier

TW: Suicide / sensitive topic

24M. Struggled to be consistent with exercise, sleep, eating food, work... At some point I just accepted it: I gamed as much as I wanted every day, chased short term pleasures because I couldn't be consistent with long term pleasures (like hobbies) anyway. Every second month I would "turn my life around" just to fail shortly after... I felt shame so many times that in the end I learned it was pointless to feel shame when the result (failing) was the expected result every time. I tried looking for answers, got diagnosed with ADHD, tried medication, meditation, training, running, todo-lists, journaling... It was all just shallow attempts to solve my underlying issue: I didn't have a fundamental motivation to live.

Sometimes I was fully aware of this, depressed and suicidal. However most of the time I wasn't even thinking of suicidal ideation - I could be happy, have motivation to do things and be consistent with food or exercise or sleep for a few days/weeks at a time. In those periods, I still failed to see that I didn't have a motivation to live. I see now that obsessions, projects, games etc. can all mask the missing piece.

I recently started therapy where I learned about the CBT diamond: our experiences are mediated through thoughts, body sensations, feelings and actions. These four aspects of our experience all affect each other. The way you feel may change the way you think, the way you act can change the way you feel and so on. Your "activation pattern" across these aspects of experience - your immediate thoughts, feelings, sensations or actions - are usually instinctual. For example, when I thought of work, I instantly felt overwhelmed and sensed a weight over my shoulders. From what I understood, CBT is about uncovering your unique "activation pattern" - understanding how you instinctively react to situations across these aspects.

Yesterday I realised I'm actually way more in control of how I react across thoughts and feelings than I thought. My thought process was this: It's not technically *physically* impossible for me to react with excitement when I think of work. There exists a person in the world that could swap into my consciousness, be in my exact situation, and feel excitement. So I thought: "How would that feel like?". It wasn't a "fake it to you make it" situation. It felt more like "No matter how I really feel, I can objectively experience excitement at this very moment". It really felt like a choice - like there's nothing *really* stopping you from choosing to react a certain way as long as you're aware of how you normally react habitually and can "step in" before habits take over. This completely changed how I approached every other situation at work yesterday. I was happier and felt more in control.

Finally, today I had another realisation by simply seeing an attractive person in a meeting at work. They were well dressed, looked well rested, professional and had a genuinely kind smile. The vibe I got was one of passion to live: to feel good, achieve their dreams and work steadily *(not hard!)* to get there. That's when it hit me: I want that passion for *life itself* too. Realising this, I instantly felt repelled to the thought of scrolling shorts, feeds, playing games, not eating well etc. That's not passionate living... What's nice is that doing these things can still feel good and can be fun, but I don't think I'll be doing them mindlessly or compulsively anymore. Realising that I want to pursue a passion to live, made me more aware of the compulsive escapism feeling I got when scrolling or gaming, and made it easier to control when to stop.

Anyway, this post was so much longer than I thought it would be. I hope others may draw some inspiration or helpful words out of this post, and I wish you all the very best ❤️

Response generation is usually in the 50-150 t/s range, but when claude code and comparable tools edit/create files with 500+ lines of code it can create them almost instantly. How does it do that?
