Burnout is a modern euphemism for exhaustion depression. Burnout happens after prolonged periods of extensive work and the symptoms are similar to those of a classical depression:

• social withdrawal
• meaninglessness
• sadness
• lethargy

People with burnout need months to recover. Recovery is spent alone without doing anything and retracted from social life. This is all well depicted but how come some people burnout and others don’t?

To burnout long periods of extensive work isn’t enough. At the core of a burnout is the personal failure to attain one’s goal. People who burnout work excessively to further their career with conscious or unconscious goals. Goals pushed on the individual through societal pressure, from an inner lack of self-worth or through sheer ambition. If months or years of exhausting effort doesn’t bear fruit their world collapses and they burnout.

In most examples I know, if not all, OpenAI uses English. But OpenAI actually supports multiple languages both as input and output. But how well does OpenAI support the different languages? I set out to find out, completely unscientifically.

I googled around and found a long list of supported languages. I initially implemented all the languages and then tested to what extent OpenAI can actually write meaningful and relatively complex text in them.

Site search enables you to search on various sites directly from the browser’s search bar. The implementation is rather low tech but it is useful for both remembering high-quality search engines and avoid having to navigate to a site first in order to use its search engine.

To add a site search to your browser, in this case Brave or Chrome, go to the settings page and search for “Site Search” or copy paste this: brave://settings/searchEngines?search=Site+Search.

I Started a small bootstrapped startup in the aftermath of corona after being stuck in home office for, well, years. As a developer one of my main hurdle wasn’t building features but marketing. I used the regular channels social media, Product Hunt and SEO and they worked, but growth just isn’t rising fast enough that I can make a living out of it. So when Google Ads offered a deal where you spend $400 to get $400 on decided to try it.

Next.js has become not only the leading framework for building React-powered web apps but also a simple way to develop and deploy JavaScript applications with less manual configuration. The developer ergonomics are great. The CLI installer sets up the whole repository with Typescript, Lint, watch mode, configuration files and other basics. There are many deployment options from fully managed to self-hosting. A fully managed deployment solution can get pricey (long running functions can easily ram up the bill) and have technical limitations.
