>unless you're violent or suicidal.

Yes, and if you are suicidal, police will throw you in a jail. Or worse - in a psychiatric hospital. And you are gonna be fired from work and will be even more miserable than before.

There is no help for men with depression. Even if you ask for it, you have to keep lying and downplaying your symptoms, so no one would think you are really depressed.

>Then I hit 30. That type of talk stopped

That scares the hell out of me. I started working in IT at 22 and now I'm 30.

I'm SRE and I think of myself as a useless lamer compared to the real 10x guys around. It gets heavier every year.

I got bagdes CCNP/OSCP/RHCE/CKA/AWS DevOps Pro/etc only to confirm that I know at least something. (I don't tell anyone about them so I don't become known as a paper tiger.) On my way to CCIE.

I study things and write code for ~2-4 hours every day after work and ~8 hours on non-working days.

Maybe by the time I'm 35 and finally became a decent SRE, I hope that I can do a real work in big company like FAANG. And no one will hire me because I'm too old.

When I was a teenager, I bought my first motorcycle and this book.

I was thinking that this book would contain a tech manual for repairing motorcycles in a special "zen-way".

I was very angry when I finished reading it.

Nice and helpful guide.

In this month only I had to give up using firefox because uglyBar and ubuntu because of snaps.

There won't be anywhere to run soon.

I can't even create an account with an email in Feedly. And Inoreader has recently updated design and became unusable: too much bells and whistles.

So, there's no more simple and clean rss-readers that I know of.
