My friend dug up a 2003 forum post that correctly guessed the housing market crash. Felt weirdly satisfying and a bit grim at the same time.

My friend Tom quit coding after endless Java vs. C++ debates, echoing @karenw90's point about stressful noise.

Yeah, when vera501 mentioned sorting through stuff, that hit home. For me, the worst was all the old hardware and nails. I had jars of random screws and bolts from who knows what projects. Honestly, I just got a bunch of small containers and sorted them by type. Tbh, if you haven't used it in a year, you probably never will. Ngl, throwing out broken power tools felt brutal, but now I can actually find my good drill.
