I know some people get annoyed at this because of the unspoken obligation to keep it going, but more than once I've been in a drive thru line where the person in front of me paid for my food. Whenever it's happened, I've tried to do the same for the next person. Just little things like that where I realize some stranger who has never met me wants me to have a better day mean a lot.
Moonlight/Sunshine is a great steam link alternative if you have a tv box (like an apple tv or similar) that has the Moonlight app available. I'm able to run both steam and non steam games pretty well.
I struggled with it as well, and the experience was made worse by the echo chamber of people around me insisting it was the greatest secret to being successful in software architecture. Who knows if they actually read it.
What helped was to watch a youtube series run by a book club where they actively discussed and took notes together on it. It cut through a lot of the dry writing and got to the point of what the author tries to say. I didn't come out of it feeling more confident, but if I think of something relevant I vaguely remember from the book, I know I can pull it out as a reference at any time.
My aunt’s dog does the same! Horses are not allowed nor are people swimming in any way on TV. The dog also seems to prefer when the actors have British accents.
What a great story. We have a 3 year old Bernedoodle who resembles a walking sheep on stilts and is around 90 pounds. It is always a joy to take her out at pet allowing public places and see people’s faces just light up when they see her trotting around, tail wagging. She is friendly but also doesn’t greet strangers unless we initiate it. Never had to train her for that, she just always seems to know my comfort levels.
