How do I get into programming?

I get asked at least once a month what the best way to learn how to program is. My advice is always the same: Pick a tool that looks interesting and make small things with it. Don’t get hung up on which technology and don’t chase the newest shiny. Make stuff. Repeat.

I’ve been wearing an Oura ring for 3 or 4 years now. This is the highest sleep score I’ve ever gotten.

We moved in 1981, so I can pretty confidently put this in 1980 based on the furniture and room. My Dad got it as a gift, but it had a much bigger impact on me than him.

Okay 80s fans, anyone else as obsessed with Robo Force as I was in 1984? I really should not be allowed on eBay…

Always had these memories of a space plane I had as a kid, but I could not remember what it was called. Today I found a picture of the Christmas unopened it and a clear shot of the box. I’m not going to look on eBay. Nope, not this guy.

Solving problems for fun with 3583 bytes of memory has made me dramatically better at my day job. Embrace constraints.

Really loving Pocketbase for my personal database. The Python library is a little behind, so I forked it and updated it to bring it current with the new API syntax. Now to import the last 15 years of finsihed books from a CSV file :)

I’m about to let some air out of this sealed package from the 90s. Should I play Nirvana or something while I do it?
