At the end of 2023 Sony & Steam informed me that I spent hundreds of hours playing games.

“Hundreds of hours?!? With that much time I could learn to play the piano or speak Spanish! Hell, I could learn to code!”

I stumbled across Scrimba on a Reddit thread and signed up for the paid version after a few lessons: it was unlike anything I had tried in the past.

Now I’m able to build basic react apps but I have a much better understanding of what’s going on “under the hood”.

Have you thought about using it to introduce new hires to a codebase?

This is a great story--unfortunately, it's just that, a story.

It's not surprising to me that there are people recklessly over-fishing, but without any numbers, no government can take action to stop it.

On a tangential point, earth-life has survived five mass-extinction events, and a future one is almost certain. This doesn't negate the tragic, useless destruction of life, but the earth itself--and some form of life on it--will endure.
