How do you feel about it now? Like holistically.

I miss it. I’m now more removed and building software as a means to an end.

I miss it just like I miss the program language and type theory group meetups in SF and working through problems in dependently types languages like Idris and being out of my depth.

I felt exactly the same, but recently started building side projects again in Haskell and fell in love again. Really brought my passion for software development back. 2026 feels perfect for that, as AI can help with things where one was stuck, not the stuck in a good learning way, forever in the past. Now is the time!

I love the clojure, but I think a big downside is not being able to use it at work and now work feels like I'm being forced to work with stone age tools in comparison. That gets quite depressing sometimes.

Sometimes I think I was happier before I learned Clojure.

Ignorance was bliss.
