A few years ago I decided to learn Esperanto (the constructed language). I now spend anywhere from a few hours to a few days per week speaking it with friends from around the world. AMA :) (or just shake your head disapprovingly)

Since you mentioned engineering podcasts are there any which you particularly like and would recommend?
đ§ Martin
I know it's something we often do in conversation (where it bothers me much less), but it's so much more jarring in a podcast. And of course it adds nothing but noise for the listener... it's merely an indulgence of the host at the cost of a smooth listening experience.

Most of my backend code these days is Go. I like it because it's so minimal. While it's sometimes frustrating to not have various fancy language features, I like that it mostly stays out of my way and feels pretty "boring". Meanwhile my frontend's node_modules is a trillion GB and I feel compelled to keep a fire extinguisher nearby when I run the bundler :)

Nim looks interesting. It's as if I've seen it become much more popular in the last few years, but until I just checked, I had no idea it's actually 12 years old.

So, what's everyone up to today? In my remaining few months of "funemployment", I'm working on a language-learning app idea and hoping to get something out there before I run out of time.

Is the code powering this website available anywhere? I didn't see anything immediately on GitHub anyway. cc @lucian
