Do you feel guilty when you read fiction some times? Do you feel like it’s a frivolous pursuit? Sometimes, I do, because I’d think to myself “might as well watch a TV show”, and I hardly ever watch TV shows because, to me, they’re a waste of time. But damn it, some of these novels are so good and I can’t stop once I started reading them.
Hello, fellow programmer 👋🏽 I do the how tos and code learning during my work day.
lol that category is broad too. There are actual textbooks (mostly math/physics), stuff like the food lab, stuff like gardening, random carpentry/home repair/landscaping, and all kinds of other random stuff. Nowhere near all of it gets applied, but those are all separate (probably because I don’t read them start to finish like I would fiction or other nonfiction) and I don’t really track them at all. It’s kind of arbitrary when you stop to think about it, though.
