Game development. I’ll admit that part of my problem is chronic depression over a decade+. The idea of gamedev excites me, but I have a hard time feeling passionate about anything these days. You definitely need that for games. Hell, I’m barely able to sit down and even enjoy games anymore.
We're not depressed, the rest of the world is just stupidly optimistic.
Also writing my own dbms, but this one I have at least seriously started reading up on and play around with.
Hobby electronics & robotics. I can make an LED blink on a ESP8266 (it's been a while), but that's it. I'd like to get more familiar with a multimeter, figuring out broken kids toys, etc. but it's a bit daunting. Maybe there's too many options and not enough constraints. I'm not sure.
Graphics programming, I have done some basic stuff but moving into 3d and actually make stuff that looks good and using like vulkan is a goal that I never get around to. Also writing my own dbms, but this one I have at least seriously started reading up on and play around with.
Being able to spontaneously speak with people and slow thinking. I am ok at writing with people, because it gives me time to think and refine my message. But I really suck at live events and talking to people in real life. Did anyone overcome it? And how?

For graphics, I was eager to play with rust and the pixels crate was recommended to me - which has been great! It abstracts away a lot but doesn’t get in the way when you want to dive in deeper. But it’s also all in Rust, so that’s one caveat.

Is it like sdl2/3 and sfml or raylib?
Recently though, I took the plunge and created a Turkish-language book site: https://kitab-evi.com/. It’s all about literature and reading, and now I’m diving into SEO with the goal of getting it to rank in the top search results. I’m learning step by step — experimenting with keyword research, improving on-page structure, and exploring tools like Google Search Console and Ahrefs.
It’s still intimidating sometimes, but I’ve found that the best way to learn is just to start. If anyone has tips or resources for multilingual SEO or ranking content in non-English markets, I’d love your advice!

My time to shine! I'm a computer programmer but I've been making music digitally for about 15 years now The software you want is called a DAW - Digital Audio Workstation. There are 300 DAWs, you need to find the one that fits your 'style' or 'workflow'. There are a multitude of paradigms, as making music is not a single technique. Once you find your DAW, my recommendation is to just make lots of music. Make the music…
Your enthusiasm is shining through. For someone wanting to do exactly what you said "just make lots of music. Make the music you imagine in your head." and faced with the issue of "There are 300 DAWs, you need to find the one that fits your 'style' or 'workflow'.", how do I choose? I am not a music maker, I have never made music - I would like to though. I don't even have a style or workflow. I don't know how to star…
Just put some notes down and hit the play button. That's the whole feedback loop. Everything else is just honing your skill and repeating this feedback loop 80 thousand times until you start getting stuff out that you semi-like :)
