+One annoying problem I have with learning something new programming-wise: 
+I'm so familiar with the Discord.py API library that any *real* UI library feels like it has too much friction to be worth it for any of my projects.
+It's even cross-platform!
+
+I'm torn between freshening up my PyQt, learning Kotlin + Android dev, or looking into something else for Linux/Windows dev...

+Lately, I've felt like I need to be more conscious about my "free" time. There are many reasons for it (work schedule, the rise of generative AI, ...) but I'm *mildly* happy with the results thus far?
+
+I'd like to make a dedicated post of it, but I'm having trouble putting my feelings into words.

+I've been trying FSRS for about a month now. Here's my thoughts on it so far:
+- I feel like I have a more manageable workload. However, part of me wonders if this is because I'm not putting all of my effort into studying a cert or a language. 
+- I don't think about how my choices are affecting the ease factor anymore. 
+- The 3-component model is a lot easier to understand than SM-2's ease.
+- I wish I had been studying more during the Fall. My stats page isn't reliable because my Anki usage was very sparse for most of 2023. 
+- Some of the intervals for relatively new cards feel very long. I'm not sure what to make of this. I'll probably need to reflect on this again in a few months 
+- Even with the helper add-on to auto-reschedule cards on sync on desktop, I still feel disincentivized to use Ankidroid due to lack of native support.
+- It has been a very positive experience overall.
