I’m thankful for… things that I learned ‘just cuz’, which later netted me some profit in my work life.
- what drivers are and how they interact
- how to build a PC from parts
- how to install, administer, and run Linux
- typing
- 3D graphics/modelling/simulation
- what’s underneath the covers of the Internet and Web
- calculus
- how to build an Ethernet network
- x86 assembly language
- Python
- a number of other programming languages
- computer audio
- …
The list goes on… Most of my career has been a series of happy accidents combined with a general wish to align my interests and my work. That’s nice.
