I have built many things over the years, learning and using various languages and frameworks. Airdropped into alien codebases and came back victorious. Never shied away from the next thing, even just to try it once. You know, like the smell of a new car, a new framework/language feels the same to me. It's the joy of learning. It's the feeling dumb and then losing virginity again with Eureka.
But things change and I would be tempted to say that "What was a skill is now quickly becoming ballast..." but maybe it's the exact opposite.
If I distill all my knowledge I should still be able to command an army of mini-mes.
The experience, the mistakes made and the ability to figure things out without StackOverflow, YouTube, LLMs will be forever useful.
I will write something about this one day.
I mostly shitpost about financial markets, tech, with the occasional rant/self-reflection and the odd burst of jokes and memes in these areas.
