I've given this game over 2k hours of my life and I have no regrets. If you have fun with games where there's a LOT to learn, steer away from EVE Online, it will steal your life.
I never wrote about basic "How to FP in X language", "Here's a script I wrote over the weekend, it's amazing", "How to git" articles. This limitation I have on myself pisses me off when I read most of the content on medium / dev.to. I see that people are going for cheatsheets / how-to-x-in-10-minutes-but-not-really-understand-what's-going-on content, and I feel that either my content will not be consumed, or it will be discarded as pretentious.
Add to this that English is my second language, and other personal insecurities and flaws (vanity - "I need to appear smart to my peers", vanity guilt - "I'm trying to pose as someone else", etc), and you've got a pretty bad recipe.
Over the years this has turned into over countless abandoned blogs and side projects.
Lately I'm trying to fix this and other issues (not connecting to people, etc) by streaming while I do stuff, but often I don't manage to convince myself to do it.
This is very much an emotional problem that I am aware of, and I notice the harmful patterns as the thoughts surface in my mind, but I'm not strong enough to block yet.
^ everything here applies to comments as well
We need to choose what is important, I like to highlight language keywords as grey, function names as blue and numeric values / strings as purple / green. Everything else is white, and it works great.
tree-sitter[0] should end regex-based syntax highlighting, check this out for nvim: https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter
I really want to see tree-sitter used to power an awesome linter, that works across languages.
