I think the point was to do one thing at a time. If a book/movie/series doesn't work out, then drop it and move on. Life is too short.

I think our current society is doing this by segragating people to classifications like "jocks" and "nerds".

Really a shame that the 4070ti doesn't have 16GB. But I guessed it is expected that Nvidia doesn't want to cannibalize the 4080.

If you talk about monetizing these creative pursuits, then yes, there is a reason to be worried. But if you are talking about pursuing these creative passions as an end by itself, it's much less relevant.

I think that's the best I can do if I want to stay in the engineering track.

Me, on the other hand, long to be an architect so that I can influence some technical decisions. Grass is always greener.
