I've recently started learning C# and Unity in my spare time to learn the basics necessary to create VR applications. I was initially intimidated by the idea of learning C# because I always assumed C derivative languages, especially statically compiled languages, that are often used for desktop application development would be incredibly hard for me to pick up. After all, they'd be so different from what I was used to.
I just shared this quick anecdote in a Slack group I am part of, and I realized its actually kind of important to who I am as a programmer. I might expand this into a full post at some point, but it was too long to post to Mastodon or Twitter, so dang it, here it goes on me blog!
What I love about PHP is it forces almost nothing, but allows almost everything.
Sometimes the greatest pains can lead to your biggest breakthroughs. Without the pain of Windows Vista, I may never have become a FOSS-loving web developer.
People often think that programming is for life long math lovers and that creative folks have no place slinging code. Nothing could be further from the truth.
