Thanks for sharing! Very cool.

Thank you for the warning and I completely understand. I didn't aggressively ask for upvotes/comments, but I did share the excitement from adding my own work to Show HN for the first time. I will stay away from sharing my HN submissions the next time.

Thx, great idea! This was a spur-of-the-moment kind of project. I will add analytics in the coming days and if people keep using it I will make improvements :)

HTML with radio buttons sounds interesting, I will comment back here if I implement this.

Thx for checking this out! I will look into it - I don't generate the PDF at the moment, it's really the HTML that's getting sent to print. So not an easy change right now.

Thanks for checking it out!

They just rolled out ChatGPT Voice, likely overloaded due to this.

Yes, but why roll out a capacity bursting feature in the midst of a crisis.

Surely the priority is stability.

The incompetence is unrelenting.

I relate a lot to these, plus weight lifting in the first half of the day works wonders.

A small neighbourhood bakery with a large diesel generator in Lviv that stayed open every day since the war in Ukraine started. Even during complete power blackouts they stayed open, brewed coffee, baked croissants, and let everyone charge their devices. Nowadays it's overrun with programmers like me as it's a reliable source of power and internet.

My small Bluetti EB70 that lets me take hot showers when Russians launch rockets at our infrastructure and disconnect whole cities from the grid.

Electrical engineers that keep fixing the grid so that my Bluetti can charge from time to time.

A friend with Starlink who's happy to share internet. Simple things!

Hang in there, buddy.

Thank you, appreciate you reaching out from the internets!

What are you working on?

I am a backend developer (RoR stack, with some UI chops). I used to work for a well-known US company remotely, got let go a week ago. Right now I'm catching a breath and deciding what's next. I might work on my own projects + freelance for a while.

> Retirement forces you to stop thinking that it is your job that holds you back. For most people the depressing truth is that they aren't that organized, disciplined, or motivated.

This resonates. I took a 1-year sabbatical after 12 years in the tech industry. I kept a big text file with all the things I wanted to do once I had the time. When I finally did, I realized I only wanted to do one thing from that list (of 30+ items). The rest sounded good on paper, but I never had the motivation to do them. This was a harsh realization, but now when I think "I wish I had time to...", I know it's an illusion. We tend to make time for what we really want. Overall, it was useful to realize.

Don't blame yourself, one year is barely enough to decompress after a decade of work. Who knows how productively happy you could be after getting all the tiredness out of your system?
