Software before the 2010's had to take into account the machines that they were running on, in turn - causing software to be developed in a more intimate way. Machines were fair, but not powerful. Think, - Intel Core 2 Duo, 2-4gb of DDR2. This hardware is actually very good, and in my opinion as much as an - average person needs (even today). If you write software (outside of graphics programming, games, etc), - and it can't run on a Intel Core 2 Duo, you need to seriously re-think what you're doing, and how you're doing it. + causing software to be developed in a more intimate way, focusing optimizations rather than features. + Machines were fair, but not powerful.

Do it yourself. Only use what you need. Take ownership of your work.
- It's really a beautiful and unique way to approach software, and to an extent, life. - I find much more gratification and self purpose when I solve my own problems indepdent of pre-existing solutions. + It's really a beautiful and unique way to approach software, and to an extent, your life. + I find much more gratification and self purpose when I solve my own problems indepdent of pre-existing solutions + (obviously you can still take inspiration from others). The world would be a much better place if we focused more on what we need vs. what we want. This is especially powerful in software, but can also be applied to how your own happiness. Finally, taking ownership and responsibility of your work will make you better at the work, and also, a more pragmatic person overall. diff --git a/static/basedcooking.gif b/static/basedcooking.gif index a9b1396..69fbf45 100644 Binary files a/static/basedcooking.gif and b/static/basedcooking.gif differ diff --git a/static/debian.gif b/static/debian.gif index 3a4947b..ffd69c6 100644 Binary files a/static/debian.gif and b/static/debian.gif differ diff --git a/static/dfitw.xyz.png b/static/dfitw.xyz.png index 2a5a905..59878a4 100644 Binary files a/static/dfitw.xyz.png and b/static/dfitw.xyz.png differ diff --git a/static/emacs.png b/static/emacs.png index 6846a5c..6de383b 100644 Binary files a/static/emacs.png and b/static/emacs.png differ diff --git a/static/getmonero.gif b/static/getmonero.gif index e3e54c9..0d3397a 100644 Binary files a/static/getmonero.gif and b/static/getmonero.gif differ diff --git a/static/tomfasano.gif b/static/tomfasano.gif index ab92936..c870394 100644 Binary files a/static/tomfasano.gif and b/static/tomfasano.gif differ
