You may think "Alright, I have a list of things I don't know, but I have no
|
||
|
time to learn those things!" You do have time.

Most of this blog/book was written during my lunch breaks; I can have my lunch
|
||
|
in 30 minutes, and then I still have 20-30 minutes free for myself. In those
|
||
|
lunch breaks, I wrote a very stupid application in Rust to download some stuff
|
||
|
I wanted.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I don't fall asleep straight away, it still takes me about 30 minutes to
|
||
|
actually feel sleepy. That's when I pick my tablet and read a book, which most
|
||
|
of the time is technical book, about some technology I'm interested in.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Even if when I get home I don't feel like sitting in front of a computer to
|
||
|
code/write something, I always have the time to slowly progress.
|
||
|
|
||
|
And that's how I always have the time.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Sure, I could take those 30 minutes after lunch just to play games. I could
|
||
|
put myself to sleep watching Netflix. But, then again, I'd never wrote this
|
||
|
bunch of words, would never have an automated downloader and would not learn
|
||
|
about new stuff that people are talking about.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Maybe people think "If I don't finish, it's over". Your life doesn't end in
|
||
|
one day. You still have tomorrow to keep going -- _to keep going_, not to
|
||
|
start.
