I am.

I do find it interesting to know about the world.

I don't know that it's useful or good, but it is part of my routine right now.

So I do read through a bunch of news articles and I want to be informed.

And yeah,

I'm suspicious of it.

I'm suspicious of the practice, but currently that's where I am.

Yeah, it's a little distracting.

Yeah.

I can probably go a small few hours, and then I need some breaks in between for food and stuff.

Yeah, but I think it's still really hard to accumulate hours.

I was using a tracker that told me exactly how much time I spent coding any one day.

And even on a very productive day, I still spent only six or eight hours.

And it's just because there's so much padding.

Commute, talking to people, food, et cetera.

There's a cost of life.

Just living and sustaining and homeostasis and just maintaining yourself as a human is very high.

Yeah, just like whenever I get obsessed about a problem, something just needs to work.

Something just needs to exist.

Yeah, it needs to exist.
