A year went by and I ended up not writing much! So it goes. For what it’s worth, I definitely can’t complain about anything that has gone on since then. Even now, things have been pretty good.
And I think that’s why I’ve considered writing again. While things have been going well, there’s the gnawing sense that perhaps, things could be even better. I want to improve my existence through means other than my usual gaming/exercise hobbies. What might that entail, you ask? To that I say, lots of coding and talking to people. Perhaps even at the same time. But not exactly in the same way as my day job. It’s a bit much to explain, and I hope it will make more sense when I elaborate in a future post.
On the creative side of things, I did my share of drawing last year but I found it wasn’t quite what I enjoyed doing. Pixel art is still pretty fun though; I see myself coming back to it here and there.
As an update, I’m currently learning Ruby on Rails. I’m working through the Getting Started guide at a relatively decent-ish speed (took about a week to work through it). I’m towards the end of it, but of course we all know that’ll only be the beginning.
I intend to start iterating quickly on project prototypes. Then I will write about those too. My goal is to get really good at throwing together solid proof-of-concepts and getting them in front of people very quickly. I spend a lot of my time overthinking, and it’s about time that I practice not doing that. I have the experience to pick things up and work through them, but I have been in a comfortable position for so long that it’s easy to get complacent.
So hopefully it’s a tad easier to see why I’m writing this now. Until next time!
