Also thought I could get away from myself by getting away, and at times it helped a bit, but also often didn't. Sounds like you're on the path to feeling better. Less ego for the win.
Author here. So sorry to hear about your depression and medication trials (ugh, the side effects..), though I'm heartened by the sentiment that you "inevitably DO get out of it. Fortunately these things are usually temporary, however long that temporary might be.
I hadn't consider that my own moving around in my early twenties was a way to try and 'break out' of the cycle until you posted this.
Wishing you and your family the best in the new year!
Ha, it's completely forgivable. I was speaking in jest and very much agree with the content of your post. Appreciation for the little things is a great catalyst for turbocharging your worldview (though I choose things other than tying my shoes).
One of the most helpful, semi-passive things I did for learning Spanish was changing the language on my phone (once I got to a certain level). It makes all daily phone time at least a superficial way of getting in contact with the language.
Yes there was plenty of difficulty navigating the phone at first, but I was surprised at how much muscle memory took over. And it helped me develop my very cheesy joke / deflection to buy time to formulate my response: está cargando (it’s loading).
New billing primitives. Cost per invocation on functions and edge requests where it used to included in GB/h and bandwidth.
Cost per cache read and write instead of lumping it all in the bandwidth bill.
My reading is that the criticism of the bandwidth egress fees and it's inevitable unfavorable comparisons has hit home.
Only they were using that bucket for more than just egress. So they are breaking charges apart and this is going to have winners and losers from their customer base.
Reminds me of cloudflare pricing. They don't charge you bandwidth but do charge for invocations and if you do the math on how they bill invocations, the egress is in there - you are not escaping it. But the press of no egress fees is nice.
