I have been messing around with computers for a couple of decades at this point. I always learn something new every few days. Also many times at this point I get to relearn something I long ago forgot because I have not used it in 15 years... I also will deep dive on a subject sometimes. Just so I know it correctly. I can then help others when they are struggling with it.

Such a fun little feeling, like time travel almost.
- avgcorrection 3y agoI haven’t gotten to that point yet, but I did find a StackExchange answer to a problem I was having and was wondering if that specific solution would work on my platform. And then I (from the past) pointed out in a comment how to make it work on my platform.
- sumtechguy 3y agoFor the sort of things I do there are usually already hundreds of posts out there for that thing. I am not that original. For anything that I keep forgetting and keep having to dig out of some stackexchange post I put it in something like onenote. I have not done anything that would be considered ground breaking in 15 years. And even with that, the field has moved on considerably since then. My insights would be more interesting tidbits of my personal history than helping.
