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.

Who tf came up with glass backs for phones, who tf though "yea lets take that SD card slot away" and who tf came up with the idea of battery driven devices that wont let you replace the battery? As proud user of old phones for years these are things that I just can't get over even tho I really like the probably first Flagship I ever owned (Oneplus 6). I can't get over the thought of people treating electronics as consumables while we kill our environment with trash, it's so sad!

Some people don’t appreciate what a brilliant operation the Charlottesville Unite the Right rally was. Not only was Democratic op they used Anti Definition League list to make famous White Supremacists most of us didn’t even know existed.
Everyone cashes in even these vultures who scam ppl out of money to fight invisible boogeymen.
Professional wrestling has more integrity than these scum bags.
