Had a lot of brainfog these last few days. When it finally stopped raining I begrudgingly started digging up weeds in the garden ... only to discover that this was just what I needed. The avalanche of thoughts and ideas following was quite refreshing. Love it when the creative open mode hits hard.

Rusts String handling is ... special. At first I was quite perplexed. Rust has a dozen or so ways to represent strings. Seems nuts at first. But then I learned about the problems that Rust tries to solve that way and I got it. Painful but worth it.

Another night without sleep. This time I keept hacking around with Rust. Gotta admit that GPT is a very useful tool to learn a new programming language. Also good for writing all the basic tests. Had plenty of fun writing that lib. Next stop add a little CLI tool using it.

Sat down for a bit of Civ 5 at 8 PM ... stoped at 6AM and felt like an hour. Intense.

Gotta span a LAN cable accross a stretch of open air. At least for some time until we can put it under ground. Does anyone know how they handle UV exposure? Something like a CAT7 or 8 installation cable. Any recoommendations for outdoor installation?

I worked in tech for 15+ years. I wrote code in many languages, touched many systems, solved many problems and gained oodles of experience. And yet I feel like I know nothing at all. Am I alone with that feeling? Is the tech world really such a bottomless pit of knowledge that no matter how much we dive into it there's always an infinite amount of stuff we don't know or can't quite grasp yet?
