Sometimes I do wonder why can’t I just be content at getting best I can get at what I’m already good at - and what brings in the €€€? Why do I go ”oooh look shiny intetesting language, let’s try do shit with it” or ”hey, let’s try this thing called kernel dev/pld/program verification which are all so far outside my core expertise they might as well be in a different universe!”

Dude I mean writing a kernel in V and doing proof oriented programming in F* are fun and all, but what good’s that gonna do me when I’m in all likelihood still maintaining legacy web apps in PHP ten to twenty years from now?

I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m torn inside with my current workplace offering me everything I value and stuff that’s rare to find - but at the same time I’d love to be challenged more and don’t really have enough of those opportunities in my current environment. Or some shit like that.

Well fuck that, back to writing my own embedded DSL into F* in F#….

    Great now the hard part is getting the $$$ doing what you truly love. Web development is a just a market which has high value at the moment.

    You have the power and possibility to create markets on your own, no matter if they are small or big. Don't be let down and have fear shoved into you by the naysayers.

    Who the fuck would have thought that nerdy fuck called Bill Gates could bring in billions of dollars? Nobody. Plenty of naysayers as you can imagine.
