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.

The Left is desperate. They realize their mandates, firings, threats aren’t working to force people to vaccinate. Now they’re running ads with Fox News segments of Trump talking about how people should get vaccinated. They think we worship Trump, that we’re the same as their mindless lemmings. We love Trump bc he fights for us but we don’t worship him and we use our brains. I’ve seen him booed for mentioning the vax at rallies. Once again the Left doesn’t know who we are
