  • I dont watch a lot of TV anymore. A lot of the stuff taking itself seriously tends to suck. There are a few absolute gems, but most of everything else is like, petty, or bullshit, or garbage in some other way. There was this wave of reality-show fever when it feels like every damned TV show had to shoehorn some contrived petty drama that sidetracked from the interesting stuff and i got so fed up and checked out of the medium. It absolutely felt like every channel was doing it, inescapable.

    Except for stupid cartoons. There’s something about a show not taking itself seriously that makes it perfect. And the serious kids media wasn’t made to cash in petty, mean spirited bullshit, its made as a reminder of some important lesson that we should not forget to pass on to the next generation. Yeah i prefer cartoons.




  • Learning to code isn’t it. Spending so many hours practicing Dijkstra’s algorithm and object oriented programming is relevant to building software for other people to use, not controlling it or maintaining your own things.

    If you want control of your own machines, learn the terminal, learn operating systems and how to understand network APIs. Learn how to use WireShark to examine how your own devices talk to the internet so that you understand how they work. A generic programming course will not take you in this direction.
