I'm also an anglophone from Ontario who learned French impulsively. I think if I'd studied things like grammar, vocabulary, and conjugation, I would've advanced from the B2 plateau easily, but when I was motivated to learn Fr

For a few years I was a highly-paid TempleOS sysadmin for a fortune 500 company. Just kidding ;) It was hobby development, of course. Building demos and games in HolyC was how I finally started learning lower-level software.

You can add Show HN to the title, too. It looks good, though when I scroll up once on my trackpad it scrolls past 3-4 articles at a time.
