Speaking of programming languages, I’m so glad that I’ve spent so much time doing C and a little bit of Assembler over the years. It’s the perfect foundation for my recently acquired retrocomputing hobby. 😅 You can target basically any platform with C – DOS, OS/2, Windows NT, UNIX, … Had I gone all-in on Java (as University and employers nudged me to in the mid-2000’s), I probably wouldn’t have this skill set now. 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I don’t think you couldn’t have made a better choice myself 👌

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh, absolutely. Doing crazy stuff is fun every now and then, but there’s no need to be masochistic. 😆
