  • Aah that’s so rough, I’m sorry to hear that! I’m terrified of spiders IRL but fortunately it doesn’t extend much to other media 😅

    Is it the Final Architecture trilogy that’s his new one? I’ve got the first book on my to-read list, but haven’t gotten to it yet. It doesn’t look like the audiobook has the same narrator as the Children of Time books, though, which is a bummer!






  • I usually have a print/ebook and an audio book (for the car) going at the same time.

    For print book, currently reading Crooked Kingdom, one of the books in the Grishaverse series/world. I, uh, got a little obsessed after watching the first season of Shadow and Bone a year or two ago.

    For audiobook, currently listening to Children of Ruin. Not too far into it yet, but I loved loved loved Children of Time (also listened to the audiobook version), so I’m excited to see where this one goes.




  • Top 5:

    • Life Is Strange
    • Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
    • Guild Wars 2
    • Spyro the Dragon trilogy (definite nostalgia and the remakes knocked it outta the park)
    • Pokémon Silver/Gold/Crystal

    Edit: how could I forget about ROCK BAND! So much time spent playing that with friends. Even now, once a year or so we get a group of people together, plug in our external hard drives and set up a ton of songs to play, set up all the instruments, and make a whole day of it.


  • Before college, the only exposure I had was some basic HTML and CSS in high school because I wanted to customize my MySpace and LiveJournal (am I dating myself here? haha). Then I had one class my freshman year of college that involved some C++ programming, which was my first time actually writing a full program. Halfway through college, I wanted to change my major, and I ended up switching to CS since a few of my friends were doing that, and it turned out I liked it well enough.


  • Primarily TypeScript. It… eh. It makes dealing with larger codebases with a bunch of people working on it way better. For solo/hobby programming (which I never do anyway), I probably wouldn’t bother. I generally just hate the entire JS/npm ecosystem, build tools, etc.

    I kind of want to check out F# at some point since I feel like I keep hearing about it. There’s also a part of me that misses Ruby, which I haven’t used in years.
