As rightly captioned, what’s the point ?

I’m currently in my second year of an undergraduate LLB (Bachelor of Laws) degree. Do I want to be a lawyer, probably not ? What do I want to be ? I don’t know. All I know is I want to do something big, really big.

I’ve always enjoyed the process of learning, teaching myself how to code a while back was the genesis for me. I would become soo engrossed in coding that I would gladly sit behind my computer for 12 hours a day. Now what was I doing?, I don’t know. What did I accomplish from that? I don’t know. But it changed me.

It felt great, almost like an adrenaline rush. I would spend two hours following a tutorial, trying to make a game with the new fancy game engine I just discovered. And then spend the next two trying to make sense of a linux kernel device driver book. I didn’t know what I was doing, all I knew was that it made me feel good. Learning made me feel good.

Everything seemed soo nice and shiny, I wanted to touch them all. I wanted to master them all, trying to spend an hour a day on each tiny subsection of the vast field of computer science, relishing the thought of who I’ll become in a year’s time. As you can sense, I rather slowly discovered that it doesn’t work like that. Reality hit me hard. I had nothing to show for the all attention I gave to the various things I involved myself in; Game creation, machine learning, systems development and even web development. I had spread myself so thin. After some years and lots of YouTube videos, I’ve realised something important; Curious without structure is Chaos. I was in the chaos.

So, What’s The Point ?

Well I don’t know the point, who does anyway?

But if you want to know why I’m starting this blog, it’s because I want to give myself structure. I want to create that accountability that I didn’t have at first, I’m doing this for me. Fast forward from my troubled tech endeavours, I’ve found more things I obsess over, as well as more things I need to obsess over. This blog is going to be all about those things. Since the sky is the limit, let’s soar until it isn’t.

LFG !!
