When I set this website I spent an hour or two being butthurt about some bullshit. It wasn’t a static site (I couldn’t figure out the Ruby permissions on my Mac, so I couldn’t run Jekyll and host this thing on GitHub or Gitlab). The web host I used did a bullshit upsell on me to get HTTPS.
The uproar in my head (dissatisfaction with self for lack of technical skill in setting PATH on a Mac on the command line) (how dare they at EasyWP cripple the teaser low-priced hosting offer)?
I saw it. I let it go. I paid the upsell and resolved to get better on the command line in the next 12 months.
It’s gratifying when you see that the deep guiding principles are installed and operating as desired.
What I control, what I don’t.
I won’t always avoid getting butthurt about bullshit. All I ask of myself is that when I see it, I let it go.
I even gave myself permission to skip the command line stuff if I feel like it. Is it really important for me to hyper-nerd like that? No. But I like it. Heh.
