I think I basically agree. Kind of two steps forward, one step back. Also random one off personal projects has been fun. Feels like I can get more to show for the same small time investment.

But like, why aren't the major tech companies shipping incredible stuff? I assume Apple has always been several orders of magnitude better at software than I as an individual can be, but yet I don't see much if any improvement to what they're able to ship. Not to single Apple out here, it's just that I use their software more than any of the other FAANGs.
