After writing so much software in C# and TypeScript during the past years, I felt a bit burned out.

- Decided I need a little "OOP detox"
- Dived a little into Rust for a while
- Result: great language, but did not fully click in some aspects

So now I am doing the only sensible thing:

Getting back into C.

#Goophy DevLog
---------------------------------
First steps of a pet project of mine. A Gopher server in C called Goophy. I'm making it for educational purposes and to use it myself in the (near?) future.

The test client is elpher a gopher / gemini client for emacs.

I do a lot of programming in C which usually contains a bunch of functions that I create. Just curious... am I the only one that always ends my main() function by printing "END OF LINE."? Just wondering...

Today I've finished #teaching to my current customer how to maintain the #software I've developed for them once I've left. Two sessions of 3h and 3h40, teaching to 4 people, all in #japanese of course. A bit tired tonight, but both the users and the IT team are super happy with what I've done (solving a #combinatorial #optimisation problem to save them several hours of work every week and help #organic #farmers ) and I was happy to teach about what I love the most: #programming .
Bonus point for preaching about #testdrivendevelopment and the beauty of #cprogramming .

Also still looking for my next contract ! #fedihire #jobsearch

I was listening to Linux After Dark (or was it Friday Night Deploy?) and it was asserted that 8th gen intel is no longer the gold standard for daily driver laptops in the used market.
