      I have such immense respect for people who know how the bits are physically flowing through a machine. I took classes about it but I can’t imagine doing that daily, it’s so tedious.

            thaaaaat’s the shit, when it finally cracks and you laser focus on implementing your solution. better than drugs.

              The high of cracking an intractable problem (pre-AI) was just unreal. I’d struggle to sleep, awaiting the morning so I could get back at it.

                Nothing groundbreaking but writing my own Huffman compressor in C and seeing the whole thing work knowing where nearly all the real physical bits were going, was seriously satisfying. Recommended exercise ☺️

      If you can’t get the Arduino lights to blink at this point I can only applaud your persistence
