The cheapest beef bowl at Sukiya is 490 yen, and it seems my musical talent is even cheaper than a beef bowl.

Today, I tapped out some code and barely managed to add a music playback feature. I was like the client for the LLM the whole time, constantly asking it to rework or change the approach. Even so, I spent the whole day coding—what a waste.

I reinstalled Sonic Pi, but didn’t create anything that sounded nice. In the evening, I played around with a sampler, trying to sample a melody from Casablanca, but ended up doing nothing. It’s not that I don’t know how to do it, I just don’t want to do it at all. The constant replaying to find a drum beat or a clean kick feels so tedious and boring. But isn’t having that nerdy persistence a part of making music? Without it, you can’t make it. Is that considered a talent? It seems I’ve never had the talent to endure boredom. I’ve been like this since I was a kid playing games; grinding monsters gets boring after a while. As soon as the underlying pattern felt the same, I didn’t want to repeat it. Maybe it’s an arrogant belief that I’ve already grasped the essence.

Starting today, I plan to update my blog daily, writing diaries.
