Sad indeed. Even more sad is that it will be used as a political weapon now to further agendas.

But of course. All politicians believe that one should never let a crisis go to waste. The only difference between politicians is what they consider to be a crisis.

Canadians also have a pointless fascination with guns. Any "political weapon" that takes them away I will vote for.

Sounds like a fascination of being controlled by the government because the big bad world is scary.
And yet, those who hate guns, continue to watch movies with them in it, that glorify them.

And people who would never dream of committing a crime watch crime thrillers. What's your point?

Clearly understanding subconscious behavior is not a prerequisite for those who wish to participate in matters that control others.
And since this is borderline soapbox, that's all I'm going to say on the matter.

This is so ridiculous, a deserving response will get this thread locked,

Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.

And incompetence is the primary reason people tend not to understand points being made online too.

This is one of the least talked about topic. Believe it or not but programming is hard and creating a mind-blowing software (or even going about changing/fixing an existing one) is a creative task about as difficult as creating a best selling novel or story.
Irrespective of whether or not you believe software development is creative (yeah, some folks like to think of it as a purely logical "hard science" which is full of rules and no creativity), you can't deny that there are times when you feel low motivation.
Even the most experienced of coders face this sometimes. A problem here is that you can't ask this on any forum because the most usual reply you get is, "Programming isn't for you dude, just choose any other field"! This, I think is both uncalled for and inhumane. If you have nothing positive to offer, at least don't demoralize further an already troubled soul.
Well, coming back to the title, what do you do to motivate yourself when there is a project ahead but you just don't feel like working or you sit on the desk and start typing but nothing gets typed there, almost like a "Writer's Block"!

If it's just a temporary thing - like writer's block is - then it's called "coder's block" and it happens to all of us, I think.
Have a look here: how to handle coders block - Google Search[^] There are quite a few suggestions.
Me? I go do something else (there is always something I've been putting off to do) and my subconscious gets an idea when I'm quiet and not keeping it awake ...
If it's long term ... then development is the wrong career for you!
