So I had a bit of blip with programming. But I'm back.
It gave me time to reflect. I'm proud because I've had this habit of being drawn to the next 'shiny' thing. Distracted by what I'm currently doing. Realizing in my heart of hearts, I'm setting myself up for heart break. What I crave is experience and expertise and I won't gain that dancing from one to another, especially with how fragmented my time often is. It's one of those things that I need one thing and just gentle persistent, like I've had for other projects.
So far in the last month and a bit, I've gotten understanding of gear hash, gotten a lot more confident in Rust and got over the hurdle of lifetimes (just a bit more). Out of those three, lifetimes feels like the scariest one to continue to improve and get stronger with.
What I would tell my past self is, it's statistics and nothing fancy. Get on with learning Rust so you can understand how GearHashing works.
