Father and husband, loves coffee, code, tabletop games and design. Will always wish he wrote more.

So - things are NOT calming down in my life but I'm definitely looking at an edge on my free time.

Which means I need to own up to my promise to my son to build some video game stuff with him.

But I don't want to C/C++ and I'm not enthusiastic about learning Unity stuff.

The game industry is this weird impenetrable non-contributing wall to me.

@hobbsc Also, FOTW is in your grasp. Elixir and Rust are just advanced syntaxes on top of old, proven tools.

I think "on the shoulders of giants" toolchains are a good thing.

p.s. I mean we could always pair

@hobbsc Been cooking up code with Python for a week or so now and it's pretty nice.

Your python learning curve would be like 1-2 days maximum. It's really Ruby-esque, except the performance side is good.

@hobbsc First I'm hearing of this. Educate me senpai
@hobbsc whoa, is the code up anywhere?
Passed the review boards! Holy shit.
@hobbsc If you hunt mushrooms quickly and efficiently enough you could easily fill the rest of those 8 hours discovering how to become one with the cosmos.
@hobbsc Thanks. I'm definitely looking forward to the weekend, though!
One more day to prep for my review board. I'm practically done, but super anxious. Giving it everything I've got.
It turns out the Real Slim Shady was the friends we made along the way.
