looking back at the go i wrote in my first weeks after dropping python, it is very different from the code i write now.
go is imperfect, but fantastic. hard to hold any other view without being in the latter category.

mostly what changed is the way i read code. if err != nil is a friend now, not the abomination i first thought it was.

you have enough money for the living at home scenario for a decade.
build things that you love. invent a business. make art!
the world would be a better place if we all did this more often.
linkedin is a dead end. the future is joyful tinkering in a garage laboratory.
never spend more than a few years at a time outside the garage lab. those skills rust fast in dead end jobs.
how do i _ in python !chat
working for interesting people is a joy.
no one interesting is on linkedin.
an indie game renaissance is underway, and it’s fantastic.
Can you elaborate?
libraries, frameworks, and vertically integrated stacks (consoles) are plentiful and of varying but generally good quality.
it has never been easier to distribute games.
steam, console stores, mobile app stores, or a binary in r2 behind a cf worker.
it has never been cheaper to run game servers.
ovh metal is $100/month for 1Gbps unmetered egress and 4 fast cpu cores.
it has never been easier to learn to code or to learn a new lang.
gpt4.
it has never been easier to run a live tv show about gaming.
twitch, kick, yt, or nginx rtmp to cf r2.
it has never been easier to join or create an async community.
discord.
hardware has never been better or cheaper.
while this has always been true, it is a factor. 7800x3d 7900xtx 1440p240 is an insane build, especially as a first pc.
people are building and streaming and gaming 24/7 and it’s amazing.
what will be released tomorrow? what is being built today? who just decided to learn to code and will code daily for the rest of their life?
can’t wait to read about it and watch it live in the morning tomorrow.

impossible to communicate the experience. run, don’t walk.
prefer the audiobook.
it will give you a challenging context to apply everything you are learning.
bonus points for linux and wickedengine.
