If you’d like to learn to program I would consider the SICP [1] more or less the peak of American CS pedagogy (at least as far as beginners go) along with “The Practice of Programming” once you get through that.
I play ukulele, I’m ok at reading music and decent at improv. I learned from Walter Piston’s “Harmony” and some of Adam Neely’s videos.
My main phone is a pine phone so if I don’t pick up when you call the battery is probably dead, the modem is probably dead, or I’m currently swearing at calls/pulseaudio/alsa. I’d strongly recommend sending an email instead.
Dispite what my web page says I’ve stopped uploading my scratch projects to GitHub once I started to understand the basics of collaboration with git. I was using the flamegraph as gamification/motivation but it doesn’t work as well with feature branch/squash merge workflows so I just keep most things on my VPS until I’m happy with publishing updates.

It’s almost as if our leadership has been infiltrated by Demonic Globalists.

Tucker Carlson on Censorship:
"You are not alone. You may feel like you are... That's the point of censorship - to keep people isolated and alone, to prevent a consensus from forming that challenges those in charge...
Millions and millions of Americans agree with you. You are not crazy. Your views are not evil. What is happening to this country right now is completely and totally wrong. That will be obvious to everyone someday..."
Keep speaking the truth, even if your voice shakes. 🇺🇸

what people don't realize is that policing euphemisms is a pointless endeavor.
we have spent an eternity banning words and then people just change the word until the authority changes the banned words.
eventually when the EU-Davos wrongthink AI monitors all posts 24/7 people will just replace saying fuck you with "happy donut day"
