From Nowhere to Now here!
Congrats.
Is there a static typed equivalent of Python? Not MyPy, but a static Pythonic language.
I learnt of Kevin Mitnick from HN many years ago. I was pleasantly surprised to see him as the face of a company's in-house security trainings. May he be at peace.
I have been using these blogs for my learning and enlightenment:

Looks great, thanks for the rec.
Hey, I just found that it is common to think that divio plagiarized from diataxis. It is not. A person at divio came up with this and asked permission to spin it off into its own website.
I just learned this from footnote at this article: https://www.hillelwayne.com/post/problems-with-the-4doc-model/#fn:diataxis
Programming.dev with local filter is a good replacement for /r/programming for me. I am loving it here.
Regarding the life is never fair thing, there is a beautiful sequence in Little Miss Sunshine that goes into this.
Spent twenty years writing a book almost no one reads. But ... he was also probably the greatest writer since Shakespeare. Anyway, he gets down to the end of his life, he looks back and he decides that all the years he suffered -- those were the best years of his life. Because they made him who he was. They forced him to think and grow, and to feel very deeply. And the years he was happy? Total waste. Didn't learn anything.
I am a .NET dev and love the language, ecosystem, tooling and recently their open source initiatives. Few things that frustrate me. Here are my whines:
- Naming of framework — asp.net core / asp.net could have been one word say, Katana.
- Language features — I am still comfortable with C#6 or may be a few things from C#7. I know I do not have to use all new stuff, but I feel left out. Too much inertia as of now to get over the hump.
- I wanted to break into GUI stuff for long time, but there is no clear path. Avalonia is good and I hope the documentation becomes good as explained by Mike in a recent podcast.
- The company I work for has an initiative of OSP Open Source Practice. I feel bad that .NET/C# is not included in this ever. OSP only means Java, Python and probably Go. It is a nitpick, but MS has done so much to make .NET open source, yet even technology oriented companies think of MS development platform as a closed system.
This is for 0mq right? I remember reading Pieter Hintjens about this realization he had over a long time of developing 0mq.
