"Once you free your mind about a concept of harmony and of music being "correct", you can do whatever you want. So, nobody told me what to do and there was no preconception of what to do" - Giorgio Moroder
You need a quest. It's tempting to pursue ease, but one thing I've come to learn: The easy life can quickly start to feel like the meaningless life. The least happy people I know are those who lack challenging quests in their lives. There's nothing better than hard-earned progress. The struggle. The pain. The grit. The resilience. And then, the breakthrough. The knowledge that you paid the cost of entry to achieve the growth you went after. Hard, meaningful quests are good for the soul. Learn a new skill. Start a side business. Travel to a new place with no plans. Take on a difficult physical endeavor. Just do something hard. You need a quest.

YC startup Cedana enables play/stop/rewind on all GPU and CPU compute - the result is 10x faster time to first token. Training jobs automatically resume from failures.
Caltech's computational biology team just saved 80% on compute by deploying Cedana 🤯

THE FORMULA
Step 1
Act on your excitement, your passion, whatever is most exciting to you, in the moment. Do this every moment that you can.
Step 2
Do this to the best of your ability. Take it as far as you can go until you cannot take it any further. Using the path of least resistance.
Step 3
Act on your excitement/passion with absolutely no insistence, assumption or expectation of what the outcome should be.
Step 4
Choose to remain in a positive state regardless of what happens.
Step 5
Constantly investigate your belief systems. Release & replace the un-preferred beliefs: fear-based beliefs, and the beliefs not in alignment with who you prefer to be.

I think people really don't appreciate just how incomplete Linux kernel API docs are, and how Rust solves the problem.
I wrote a pile of Rust abstractions for various subsystems. For practically every single one, I had to read the C source code to understand how to use its API.
