# Context
|
|
|
|
As a teenager I spent alot of my energy trying to be different. I don't know what informed my rebellious streak, I just
|
|
know that once artists got over a couple thousands actve listeners on Spotify, I started to lose interest in them.
|
|
|
|
I'm barely old enough to think straight, and it dawned on me in a conversation with my wife, "you know, things are
|
|
probably actually bigger in Texas".
|
|
|
|
## Reflection
|
|
|
|
I'm glad I still have a pretty strong rebel streak in me that propels me to be curious, to try the more esoteric
|
|
things. I'm a better person for having learned other niche programming languages like
|
|
|
|
- Clojure
|
|
- Ocaml
|
|
- Zig
|
|
- Gleam
|
|
- Nim
|
|
|
|
(surprisingly no rust, its like mainstream in its deviance or something...)
