  • I’ve been too lazy because of school and my life.

    You’re not “lazy”, you’re overwhelmed by your other priorities. There’s nothing wrong with needing to prioritize other things in your life. Maintaining a project like this is no small task and you should be proud of all the work you’ve done.

    It sounds like you’re at a point where you’re improving a lot as a developer and starting to become dissatisfied with your older code. Every developer goes through this from time to time, it’s important that you focus on how much you’ve grown instead of tearing yourself down for not being “better” in the past. The only way to learn and improve is to try things and make mistakes. There’s no reason to view these past mistakes as some kind of shame, they’re just the steps that got you from where you were then to where you at now.




  • My partner had to eat low FODMAP for a few years but eventually their gut reset and now they can have small to moderate amounts of onions and garlic again. After the onion and garlic, the biggest hurdle to keeping low FODMAP is cutting out high fructose corn syrup because it’s in so many packaged foods you wouldn’t think about like certain brands of breadcrumbs (Progresso).

    My number 1 suggestion is to make your own onion infused olive oil: put a roughly-chopped onion in a pot with a whole bottle of olive oil, warm it up (it should be warm not hot), let it cool, take out the onion pieces, and pour it back in the bottle (store in the fridge to preserve the flavor longer). You can do this for garlic as well but garlic-infused oils are a lot easier to find at the the store (just make sure you get infused oils that don’t contain actual bits of garlic or juice, Boyajin was a brand I liked a lot).

    I used to make fajitas without onions by using my infused oils in the marinade and upping the amount of bell pepper.
