You don’t “learn Linux” and finish.
You encounter one irritating problem, discover three commands, forget two, and permanently absorb half of the remaining one.
I’ve been learning pygame this weekend. Reading docs and writing code.
Let me tell you, nothing nothing nothing comes close to changing a line and tabbing to see your changes. Slowly seeing your code turn into something. Calling a new function and seeing something appear on the screen…
Prompting will never.
Not saying we should go back. I won’t. Just realizing how much I loved this.
Always think World Cups are so beautiful for associative memory. They come every four years, allow you to reflect on life, how far you have come, where you were when it last came and just an opportunity to somehow be grateful for everything.
@TheBarzul please @MarvelStudios give stan Lee a presence by any weird means possible, throw a posture sometimes, a lookalike in some maybe. a free cheerful MOMENT for you guys in theaters for sure.
@thomasklemenc there is a multi billion company who is throwing cash like a cow on steroids and there's you. why don't they want to make their software fast for god's sake
upon Doing The Thing, you will invariably find two things to be true:

2. not having Done The Thing was bothering you more than you thought it was
Life is amazing:
-coffee exists
-gyms exist
-hot girls outnumber even moderately put-together dudes 2000 to 1
-you and your wife can drink 4 bottles of wine then smash all night without a condom
-you and your friends can hit the gym then smoke a joint at a Coldplay concert
-every food item in the world has been hunted/gathered for you (grocery stores)
-you could be working 16 hour days in a coal mine in a third world country
There are people who live in wheelchairs. There are kids born with disabilities. No 4th of July weekends, no sleepovers with their best friends staying up until 2AM watching Interstellar.
And you’re not SMASHING the gym like a grateful SAVAGE!? Eating healthy 90% of the time, calling your friends for no reason, CRUSHING it in your career, asking for the promotion, asking out your crush making her your girlfriend then your wife!?
You are spinning on a sphere in an infinite universe and the fact you’re alive is a 1 in 500 trillion miracle - you’re so lucky it’s absurd and you have nothing to lose :)
