I think I'm going to be mostly socially distancing forever now. Not seeing people anymore is an acceptable tradeoff for never getting sick.

Same here, that came off as really privileged.

We're not reaping the benefits of work anymore, it's mostly trickling upwards now so not really interesting. Makes sense to spend time on video games where you feel a bit more rewa…

The AASM should focus on the 4 hour workday instead.

I think these kind of habits will disappear with boomers. I don't know which country you live in but I'm sure young people wouldn't raise an eyebrow if you ate dinner before 8PM. T…

I'm terrified that there would be something after. Imagine always being. I need to rest sooner or later.

Thanks a lot !

Any way to contact you for learning/career advice ?

I'm based in France.

Indeed, that's what I took away from reading the answers ! This thread has been a great help, I'm thankful for each response.

Nice, that's really interesting ! How did you touch so many different languages, was it only on personal side-projects or did you learn on the job ? I'm afraid learning too many di…

Oh, I already have lots of outside hobbies. I'm just trying to make work more fun (I do realize how privileged I am to even think this.)

Thanks. Rust has been recommended a bit in this thread so I'll check it out. Out of curiosity, what's the appeal of learning Rust ? What kind of projects do you use it for ? I find…

By "The Rust Book", do you mean "The Rust Programming Language" ?
