what's hilarious for me is i basically did my first year of compsci when i was 9 years old

so actually it wasn't a loss, that my school fucked me because i was determined to be right, and gleefully proving my stupid teacher's wrong, and stopped me getting into CS back in 1994

i was already past the second year in my actual skills anyway

and then i went to work as a freelance computer tech support guy, and i was doing well at that, but the taxes and bullshit drove me crazy and if i'd paid them i would have been unable to work at this job

yay australia, and yay socialist bullshit

My dad is a network engineer, so I was writing emails and programs in the 80s. 🤙

yeah, my father was a somewhat crazy would-be inventor except he couldn't navigate the academic system either

in parallel to me learning to write advanced algorithms he was teaching me chemistry and physics

he was so terrible, i mean, literally psychopath, at being a father tho, that i didn't bite at his parents offer to foster my CS skill development, because he was involved in it

we live in a fucked up world, one one side, the devil, and on the other side, the army of fallen angels
