Omarchy, a set of pre configured arch Linux tools from DHH and company. Tried it on my old MBP 2015, the machine felt brand new almost as snappy as my MBP M4 so I went and bought a ThinkPad the next day and started daily driving arch
Graphics programming, I have done some basic stuff but moving into 3d and actually make stuff that looks good and using like vulkan is a goal that I never get around to.
Also writing my own dbms, but this one I have at least seriously started reading up on and play around with.
I mean Beff or the dude behind Beff has said that he does not see himself as the leader in that sense, in fact he encourages forks from what he says. All this to say that your characterization is unnecessarily negative.
Ever since I read this: https://cognitiveresearchjournal.springeropen.com/articles/1... in uni, i have followed the techniques mentioned to super great success. So much so that people are frequently surprised how I can know/do so much at work for someone so young.
There some title inflation going on I think most people can see / feel that. But having said that I dont think it is unreasonable to be promoted to senior after 2-4 years at all, it all depends on the skills you have show and what level responsibility and impact you have had. Especially with a degree, you have then spent almost 8 years getting educated and working in the same field so with that in mind its even less of weird thing.
Is there some more examples or blog posts that talk about this? I find the idea interesting and possibly very applicable in my work but just from this post alone I don’t feel like I have grasped it well enough to implement this.
I use tmux/neovim so I basically live in the terminal 100% of the time when working and when playing around with sideprojects. And I find alacritty to be super easy to use and more responsive compared to iterm2 :)
For math I think this book has a great collection of theorems and ideas: All the Math You Missed: (But Need to Know for Graduate School). Although You probably need a certain level of mathematical maturity (A concept which the author of the book is quite passionate about) to really get the most out of it.
Is there any book/textbook course out there that goes through how to write a database or dbms from scratch up to something useful, think something like nand to tetris style? I have been looking but there is not much on this topic out there I feel like.
Pikuma is the GOAT on this subject, his cpp 2d game engine course is exactly what you want where he is using many of the "new" features of cpp17 to get stuff to work such as heavy use of templates and smart pointers. I took the course as a way of learning a thing or two about game engines as practice and some c++ (or rust-- as its called sometimes :P).
I just use vimwiki with neovim and hit <leader>ww if need a new note and its super easy to creates links and structures with vimwiki. I used to use Obsidian but once I learned vim I dont want to edit/write in anything that is not vim.
If you dont like your job/tasks that you do daily its pretty obvious to me that you will start not liking that activity. Start programming recreationally, create something you want, something cool and fun to you. Change your env, start using vim just switch it up to keep it fun. That has worked for me at least.
I think the best answer to this question can be found in this series, i think episodes 5-7 is where he talks about the importance of Aristotle and the ways in which he shaped our grammar around so many concepts that are central to our day to day lives. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54l8_ewcOlY&list=PLND1JCRq8V...
