I relate to this so much! What I’ve been enjoying A TON lately is embedded development for hobby. Not Arduino, but bare metal, flipping registers and configuring devices in a STM32, writing linker scripts and scripting gdb. It feels awesome to understand a system completely (sort of). I’m writing C but I also wrote the assembly that bootstraps my C environment and calls main() That combined with some reverse engineering to figure out the MIDI protocol and a buzzer and LED and I’ve made a little instrument that I can play with my keyboard! Next I’m planning to understand how USB works and maybe make the little instrument controllable over USB? Who knows! I’ve realized that what I enjoy about programming is the puzzle, the thing that I don’t know, and then learning it, and then doing something fun with it. Wish you the best and tons of fun in your journey!
