"change is the only constant in universe" - whoever said that.
For a change, i went long-distance bikepacking 5y ago. 500-1000-1500kms.
Then, Learned to e-foil 2y ago.. took me weeks if not months to get the balance right. (While some kid i taught on the beach, needed 25 mins :/) 7000km so far. Traumas not counted - but hey i am (even more) alive. Today seawater was 8'C.. so what.
The other day decided to (finally) learn Go.. did the tour mostly, then, what, just read the spec top to bottom (it's short, has interesting recent changes in scope of for-vars). A nice little language as they frame it. (Maybe 25th or 35th programming language i learn. stopped counting long ago)
But.. Cannot be bothered to LLMize meself. And Maybe connected, it seems hard to find a (proper) job recently. esp. if excluding some things on ethical grounds.. Which brings cynicism - as described in the article.
But yeah. Better Live now. Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery..
have fun
- fritzo 2y agoI haven't tried e-foil, but did I thoroughly enjoy learning to balance on a racing stand up paddle board last summer (only 23" wide). It took me many hilariously humbling weeks of constantly falling off before I could stay up for any distance. I loved feeling inept and awkward but with only benign consequences: failure means a mere dunk in warm water.
