How I Fired Myself 13 years ago

It's not your fault. it's the fault of the person who cancelled backups, the person who didn't check that backups are being created, the "senior" people who let you work on the production database.... etc.

Catalog your rabbit holes if possible, and then review them before working on them.

What I mean is, if you see a problem to solve, and you are able to keep working on your current task and to solve the problem later, then do so... just note the problem. This will immediately make you much more focused.

Then at the end of the day, review your list of rabbit holes and try and determine which ones are necessary for the current project, which ones would be educational / you want to do, and which ones can be discarded.

Basically rabbit holes are a problem because they are long and narrow and do not offer an overview of the entire grounds, so before jumping down a rabbit hole force yourself to survey the big picture and to see if you can step over it instead.

I love that fact that the other company was actually recycling an idea from 1919 and thinking they were onto something new.

I feel like you describe pretty often. I think the trick is to sleep, exercise, and concentrate on what's going on right now. You can't change the past, you can only change what you are doing right now, this second. You have control over that... hang in there. Also, rosser, you're answer seems very helpful.

yeah, seems pointless without an iOS implementation. (pointless for people on mobile Apple products that is (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch))

I think this is where customer testing comes in. Watch 10 or 100 customers try to use you product, and observe the features they "reach for" but are not there - and the ones that are there, but they never use.

Same here, but chrome works. I'm not sure it's a point lock issues, since that's supposed to work on FF.

In console, the difference I noticed is that FF has this error: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at ws://./. - shoote...tBqO.js (line 57)

Chrome doesn't have that error.

Not very interesting on an iPad, black screen w dark gray writing and not much else.

Thanks, they just started working again for me too.

I have no idea what happened. For about 15 minutes I was getting github 404s for all github pages.
