Forgot that I'm supposed to tag the original author @adammc.bsky.social. Thank you for all your work towards the community and writing down what me and probably a lot more people feel.

Over the past two years, the joy of getting something to work, sharing it and discussing has depleted significantly. The connection I enjoyed building with people, sharing mistakes, openly and without judgement, is almost gone - one of the reasons why I loved job and engineering in the first place.

This is exactly why I got hooked to Android development during my college days back in 2017 - not only could I do it on a non-Mac, but I could actually build something and show it to my parents, my friends and derive **joy** from it.

"...went over to my parents to show them what I built. I often refer to this as my 'lightbulb moment'. Here in my hands was a real, tangible piece of software that I built and could interact with..."

I do not generally post stuff anywhere, particularly because I do not want to spend my energy locking horns with strangers while living in a dystopia. However, reading Adam's latest post here androidessence.com/leave-me-beh... really struck a chord. Excerpt from the post:

Remembering this great tweet on the Summer Solstice
Tweet from @tomgara

Randomly on this subject, my (Egyptian) wife had never heard of Stonehenge when I mentioned it recently, so I showed her photos of it, assuming she’d recognise the look but not the name etc, and she was just like, this is pathetic, your ancestors were small and weak

Tried jules.google to add notifications support for Joker-CLI and it looked promising already! It was able to add the functionality with minimum hand-holding (although I feel I should've been explicit about commits structure). Looking forward to using it more 🤖
