Thank you! I’m already familiar with REST apis, since that’s what I work on normally, so hopefully the learning experience will be smooth. Where can I find the dev matrix chat?

First off, thank you for working on improving lemmy, it is greatly appreciated. How does one go about helping work on lemmy? I’m a software engineer myself, and I’m looking to provide help during down of my free time. I’m not the most familiar in Rust, but it’s on my summer bucket list

Adhd is that you?

Oh man. I missed it by like a month. I graduated with my bachelors in December, and started in January. I was hearing horror stories from my new coworkers about how people had to cancel vacations to get stuff patched asap

You know, I’ve never implemented Conway’s game of life, and that sounds like an excellent way to work on a new language

Oh that is a very cool resource. I haven't seen this one before. I am definitely checking this out. Thanks!

Huh that's a pretty solid looking book. I did a quick glance through the chapter list online, and there is a fair amount of content in that. A solid book like that may be good for me to check out as well

Huh interesting, Parsing is always a fun exercise for learning some language features. I may try that out then for a good starting project. Thanks!

Personally I think the soundtrack for HoS was better too. GoD’s theme is a banger of a song, and I love the etherealness of the soundtrack

You don’t need to worry about your skill compared to other people. Just learn at your own pace and have fun with it! There will be a moment when stuff starts to click.

Plus code competitions are a completely different beast compared to regular coding. A lot of those are just practice and memorization more than anything

For sure! I'm realizing that i'm in a bit of a rut currently because I haven't had enough variety in my work, so I'm deciding to try and learn something new. That way I can also give myself a new project to work on

Dang, that's wild. there is some insane malware out there
