Have you tried any non alcoholic beers? Some aren’t terrible but not sure if there are any that are fruity though.

I’ve moved away from GR over to StoryGraph for the most part. Found it suits my use case quite well.

I’d assume social media promotion is a big one. I also found some authors through kindle unlimited years back that I now follow.

Not sure I have a favorite really, but I tend to enjoy the chapters that follow Perrin or Matt more than the other parts of the books.

In general, I’m enjoying all the books so far though, reading them straight through.

The Path of Daggers, book 8 of Wheel of Time. I’m maybe 4 or 5 chapters in so got a ways to go.

These laws are disgusting. The only silver lining is that, at least for digital items, the resources can be found outside of libraries fairly easily from sources that don't require age verification.

I'm finishing up A Crown of Swords this evening.

As someone learning Rust right now (reading through The Book and doing rustlings), most of the basic concepts have been straight forward and easily carried over from the languages I currently work with.

However, as someone who hasn't touched c or c++ in the 20 years or so since university, the ownership stuff has made my brain hurt. That section in The Book has been a real slog for me and I've had go through that section several times now, but still haven't truly 'got it' yet.

All that said, I do like the compiler helping ensure I'm writing good code and in that regards, I can see why the author says that Rust is easy. Instead of beating your head on a desk trying to track down some obscure bug, with Rust, there's a good chance it'll tell you where the bug is and why it won't let you compile (at least based on my beginner understanding).

Most of my day as a Senior is wading through red tape and piecing together out of date internal documentation so the rest of my team doesn't have to deal with it. Maybe some coding, if I'm lucky these days.
