What are your goals in life?

Job-wise I'd love to find something more technical and less business/project oriented. I find myself not really caring about the end product but I love focusing on how things work.

I've often been the only one enjoying debugging since it's more of a brain teaser than a business/product focus. Also the build/deploy part of dev interests me a lot.

Also gotta get to a scratch golf handicap, but that's outside scope.

Ever tried following the « from nand to tetris » curriculum ?

I knew a few people (including myself) who dream of taking a few months off just to complete that course.

Funny you should mention it, I'm 3 chapters deep in nand to tetris on coursera. It's a great course.

Maybe you should look into diving deeper into DevOps / IT Ops / AI Ops / ML Ops? And perhaps more jobs around Ops / Network / Sys admin stuff? There's a lot of need for good people who like to debug tricky problems.

Seems to be where I'm headed now. A new world of learning opens !

I really understand, I love tackling the hard problems. I'm working on a fully remote freelance project at the moment and we could really use some decent react.js experience. We're processing large amounts of data in deck.gl and we're really pushing the envelope. Can I contact you somehow?

Hey, sorry but I'll be focusing on learning for now so I won't take new projects for a little while.

There was somewhere up in the thread another user (erdos4d) looking for work I think, so maybe something can happen there.

deck.gl seems like a fun tech, best of luck !

Thanks, I'll send him a message. :)
