@dev_Paul, you still use gifs. How do you do it?

@freemo the local timeline has been expanding a lot even in the short time I’ve been here!

@dwponirakis Toot toot! Welcome!

@kristinmbranson Oh, that’s really cool! I chose chalk based because of the smell of traditional markers. Good luck with your project!

@dev_Paul it’s going well but ramping up in how complicated it is. I’m working on working on a C project now. Up until now I've just been using Python.

Python is a super useful language. From the job descriptions I have seen at my company for engineers Python is always at least in the preferred qualifications section.

I am getting the web development itch. I’ve been looking at making my dormant personal site/blog more fun and less complicated. I have been looking at #gridsome and possibly learning html, css and #vue enough to get something up and running.

@dev_Paul Either would be cool. I took a class on planing wood with a friend and then I preceded to do nothing with it. He then really got into woodworking and redid a lot of house.

How is your software dev journey going btw? Are you still primarily focusing on web dev?

@dev_Paul thanks :). It’s not where “I see myself in 5 years” yet.

Someone recently told me they don’t like to think of retirement because they are living for today. I get it, but I’m active somewhat in life. I like what I’m doing but it’s fun to think ahead

@dota 我想用Mastodon练习汉语。你学英语的话，我们可谈话英语！

@ColeOnRails No worries! I learned a lot from it and they do a great job going over practical thing and also higher level concepts like how you should organize the app code-wise.

@sigsegv Yeah, I go to a C++ user group and the concepts fly right over my head for now. My associates program has a mandatory C++ course that I hope will sort me out lol.

@neurobongo Ugh, then I hate it too. People should not have to do every job at once.

Calculated it just now. Only about 8950 days until I can retire.
