The first time I got COVID, last March, I had medium-term severe clinical depression. It was not fun. I found that running myself ragged with exercise made a difference, but it still took most of last year until my brain (and body!) felt "normal" again.

A few weeks ago, I had a mild case of COVID and, like clockwork, the depression came back and I'm back to exercising twice a day.

In summary, COVID sucks, but the upside is that I'm in the best shape of my life, so that's something.

I've been teaching myself PCB design and am finally in the layout phase of my first system. I did *not* realize just how complicated it is to lay this stuff out!

Thank you to all the hardware designers out there for taking the time to make these complex systems work!

Worked on the Voron this weekend with the kiddos. It’s a fun project, and I’m looking forward to maybe finishing it this week!

Writing code with something like GH Copilot is like pairing with a *very* smart 5 year old. About 50% of the time, they can read your mind and write exactly the code you need. The other 50% of the time they're on shrooms and hallucinating all sorts of things that don't exist.
