I've read a lot of your writings on happiness and it's genuinely helped me improve my lifestyle. Thank you.
But I mean in terms of creative projects like software or games.

@thefunnychannel Well, one thing that I found to be really freeing, is to forget about the idea that programming is a specific thing, like a specific language, or a specific computer.

A little while ago, someone told me that "all computers are virtual anyways, might as well use something you like" and I realized that you can basically programming in any sort of way that you want, if you learn things from first principles, you can shape computing in as exciting an adventure as you want.

@thefunnychannel It might not mean anything to you right now, because if someone told me that 10 years ago, I wouldn't really have been able to understand what they meant.

But instead of learning how to navigate around the hurdles of artifacts from history, build your own dream machines that allows you for thinking deeply about things.

Languages, frameworks, engines, not of that stuff matters.

I am still very new to development
I've been making music, art, and writing for years

But one day I want to have everything I use to make things all built by me

A lot can happen in 10 years and I'll remember what you've said throughout all of those years.

@neauoire
that is so freeing
I'm excited to go into new projects with that perspective now!
