Sure, I can relate. I work as a freelance developer and the closer I'm embedded with agile managed teams the more I wonder how anyone would do this for years and years.
Now my customers are mostly smallish till medium sized companies who need help to update their tech stack gradually. Which usually means inventing a lot of clue system and integration with working processes. It's tinkering. I work between two and five hours a day from home and have one meeting a week.
Prosemirror might be a good starting point for a headless collaborative rich text environment. It manages rich texts state and is collaborative out of the box.
Yup, I use React professionally for four years now with some really big applications (10ks LOC) and I would always opt for class components.
The hooks API not only suffer from weird wording (how is useEffect more expressive than componentDidMount) but it introduced some concepts like dependency declarations (again useEffect) and a new meta syntax.
It could have been a good development if the published preview would have been a real request for comments with the possibility of changing something. But instead it was introduced as stable in basically the same form.
Yep, before my inner eye I saw ethernet cables hanging over the streets. Businesses opening their networks and starting own DNS servers. Printed flyers how to change ones phone settings are thrown out of windows and driving cars.
But it's just alternative messengers and VPNs.
On the other hand this is probably a good thing. During the Arab Spring Egypt cut its internet lines and activist like Telecomix provided dial-in internet access. Nowadays even a dictator can't cut the internet access without causing massive damages.
Oh, I know this one. But I realized that there is positive name for this Jack of All Traits. You can also see this as a quality.
As long as it doesn't impact your life too badly, why would you change something.
About your feeling of failing I had this too. Once I told my therapist I feel like I have this huge debt of all the never finished projects and starting something new would increase the debt. My salvation was allowing myself to "fail" and experience the anxiety and guilt coming with this. Turns out this feeling of failing was not good for anything and more like a story in my head.
The school of therapy which turned my life hugely around was Acceptance and Commitment Therapy just if you are curious and need another hyperfocus topic.
Also if you already know the term hyperfocus you already read about ADHD. My medication make a huge difference to get going despite frustrations.
I also have ADHD and OCD but I'm a mostly non verbal thinker. It took me some time to modify the expositions techniques to treat OCD to my kind of thought experience. But for the most part it worked and I am usually unaffected by this intrusive thoughts.
If they would apply this stategy also to their MacBook Pro line we wouldn't have this disccussions about keyboards etc. The old Macbook Pro Retina chassis with a new board would be a dream. (Or even better with a non glare FHD display)
First of all, make sure that you take a direct flight to Germany. If you enter any other European Country before, you have to get asylum there.
Second and maybe more important. If you try to get an asylum in Germany, you are not allowed to work for the first year. It's crazy and doesn't make any sense.
If you still want to get here. And it's a great city. Here is the Email address of the refugee help in Berlin:
