> The best part about sharing your config or knowledge is that someone will always light up your blind spots.

Yes! I will take this as a chance to thank every people who shared their knowledge on the Internet. You guys are so freaking awesome! You are always appreciated.

A big chunk of my whole life's learning came from all the forums that I used to scour through, hours after hour! Because these awesome people always sharing their knowledge, and someone adding more. That's what made Internet, Internet. And all is now almost brink of loss, because of greedy corporates.

This habit also helped me with doom-scrolling. I sometimes, do doomscroll, but I can catch it quickly and snap out of it. Because, my whole life, I always jumped in to the rabbit holes, and actually read those big blog posts, where you had those `A-ha` moments, "Oohh, I can use that", "Ahh, that's clever!".

When, browsing, do not give me that, by brain actually triggers, "What are you doing?"

Later, I got lazy, which I am still paying for. But I am going to get out of it.

Never stop jumping into those rabbit holes!! Well, obviously, not always it's a good rabbit hole, but you'll probably come out wiser.
