Be patient... but not it the way you think of.
I started putting things on GitHub in 2012, and as of today, I have 55 repositories there. About 10 of them have releases. Exactly two of these releases are actually used by other people. The other 53 are experiments never has been or never meant to be finished.
However! This year I finished a book called Geometry for Programmers (and I'm proud of it so here's the link: https://www.manning.com/books/geometry-for-programmers https://www.manning.com/books/geometry-for-programmers). The game my brother and I started in 2009 was a failure sales-wise, but a pair of algorithms from it became a nice addition to chapter 8. The unfinished app that flattens curvy photos I made for my father back in 2013 became chapter 7. The thing that undoes projection I wrote for myself in 2012 - chapter 4.
Patience and persistence required to finish things come with age whether you want it or not. You're probably still at this magical phase of your life where you are allowed and expected to try new things with no tangible gain in sight, and that's great! Enjoy it! It's like planting lots of random seeds not expecting all of them to grow or bear fruit. Don't worry, the time to gather the harvest will come.
- pythologist 3y agoHi, I just ordered the book. I can't wait. I'm working on a group of ideas that relate to data engineering and math and computer languages. I am looking forward to sitting down with your book. I have been looking at design and also at how sympy connects numpy and numba and to the Spark ecosystem with sympytorch. This also means looking at performance issues and things like Rust and this new Modular AI Python derivative Mojo. Mojo is based on Python but introduces some new static memory objects into the infrastructure. But doing so boosts internal speed enormously. I have yet to see what PSF has to say about Mojo. But I have only asked around slightly so far. Thanks.
