Sure this kind of posts get pretty annoying. As the author keeps repeating "existential longing" I want to yell "get over it already" or "stop smoking pot".

But then I remember that I have my moments too. It's not everyday, but I definitely have times where I look at the mundanity of programming. Today, making these pages render in a few milliseconds gets me excited, but the other day I was watching a live feed from the international space station and simply switched the channel. Because what's is the damn point.

I don't find these posts meaningless. And don't be too quick to judge. Today it is him/her, tomorrow it is you!

I swear there was no pot involved whatsoever, though if there had been, I'm certain you'd have been spared of the annoyance of yet another 'Why am I here/Everything is meaningless' piece.

I'm not saying writing this kind of piece is bad. I want to read them, and they are a good reminder that sometimes we get caught up in our little rituals and take it way too seriously.

The fact that I was annoyed was exactly the point. I have my own days where I feel like all I am doing is meaningless, and in those days reading a post like this actually inspires me because I know I'm not alone in this feeling.

Maybe I didn't express myself correctly on the previous comment, but in no way telling you to shut up. Just saying that today you are the one feeling like this. Tomorrow, it will be me.
