I just accepted not programming that much outside of work. Obviously I'm right here, but I check the site on my phone once a day tops now.

I've started creating music, doing a lot more work on my car, reconnecting with friends, finding more activities I can do outside and traveling more.

Someone out there will always be a better programmer than me. I keep up with tech enough to be effective at my job but beyond that I realized I was way too obsessed with programming. It was essentially an addictive behavior for me.

Your mileage may vary, but there's an infinite world outside of programming I feel that we owe it to ourselves to explore.

Nice! I am a huge Anjunabeats fan and have the logo tattooed on my arm.

Working on a fusion of hip-hop, emo and some analog synthesizers. I would describe it as Lil Peep meets Crystal Castles.
