10 Tech Commands
for Life, Love, and
Letting Go
(a post every dev, DBA, and IT soul
needs to read before they timeout)
Life.exe: Rebooting
Humanity with Humor
and SQL
ping partner_IP -t -w
1️⃣ until_emotional_responsiveness
Translation:
Check in often.
But set a timeout , not everyone is on the same
emotional bandwidth.
(And definitely not everyone supports ICMP...)
2️⃣ SELECT * FROM life WHERE
priority = 'people' AND
noise_level < 50;
Wisdom:
Filter what truly matters.
Don’t let meaningless pings from Slack,
Twitter, or old trauma steal your
bandwidth.
3️⃣ UPDATE love SET status = 'nurtured'
WHERE last_quality_time >= NOW() -
INTERVAL 1 DAY;
Reminder:
Love is a stateful object, not a stateless
function.
Update it regularly or risk data decay.
4️⃣ DELETE FROM mental_load
WHERE source =
'others_opinions';
Liberation:
Clear your cache.
Free up memory.
Not every external input deserves to live in
your internal database.
5️⃣ Ctrl + C
If you’re in a toxic loop, just stop.
Interrupt the cycle.
You are not a background process that
has to run forever.
6️⃣ exit 0
The clean exit.
Sometimes, relationships, jobs, or phases end.
Not with drama, but with dignity.
Graceful shutdowns > forced terminations.
SELECT SUM(time), AVG(joy)
7️⃣ FROM memories GROUP BY
person HAVING joy > stress;
Audit your circle.
Keep those who bring laughter, growth, and a
bit of beautiful chaos.
Archive the rest.
8️⃣ echo "I’m proud of you." >>
self.log
Self-talk matters.
Append positive logs.
When the system crashes, you’ll have
records worth restoring from.
9️⃣ chmod +x boundaries.sh
Execute your boundaries.
Don’t just define them in theory.
Run them. Enforce them. Debug as needed.
cronjob: breathe.sh →
schedule: * * * * *
Breathe. Regularly.
Even root users need air.
Even superusers forget to rest.
Bonus Command
SELECT meaning FROM life
WHERE gratitude IS NOT NULL
AND regrets < 5
LIMIT 1;
You’re not here to optimize to death.
You’re here to connect. To experience.
To write messy code, love
deeply, crash sometimes ,
and still show up for the next commit.
Tagline
If relationships but hey , at least
were code, most of we’re not legacy
us need a patch... systems.
echo "Still alive." | wall
