Welcome devs to another episode of 𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐖𝐞𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲! Today, let’s dive into an 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭—one that 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐍𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐳𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐞 posed with his idea of 𝐄𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.

✨ 𝐈𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬:
It’s 2 𝐀𝐌. You’re lying in bed, lost in thought. Suddenly, a 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧 (or a Shinigami, if you prefer anime) appears and asks:

"𝘋𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦?"
You reflect for a moment and give an answer.

Then, the demon raises the stakes:
"𝘞𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦—𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴, 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘶𝘳𝘦—𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳, 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺?"
Now, that’s a terrifying question.
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞?

💡 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬?
As devs, if we had to relive our career choices endlessly, would we be proud of them?
- Are we working on things we love, or just chasing trends?
- Are we investing in skills that matter, or just going through the motions?
- Are we enjoying the process, or simply grinding for an outcome?

💡 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲:
🔹 If this Eternal Recurrence were real, we should start living with intention.
🔹 We need to embrace our work, make better decisions, and stop wasting time.
🔹 Years from now, when asked the same question, our answer should be a resounding YES!

So, Devs—if you had to relive your exact same life forever, would you? 🤔
