Every year I look forward to seeing the Redmonk language rankings. They are the only language rankings I pay any attention too, cough Tiobe. In recent years there has been very little movement in their top 20. It features all the usual candidates. Java, Javascript, Python, C# etc... the languages you may possibly get a job in. My interest lies in the outliers, seeing random languages fly up the chart, often to fizzle out.
I check Hacker News and Lobsters all the time. It's sort of like an addiction, or maybe just a bad habit. It started about three years ago when I would post blog links on the two platforms. Which Lobsters banned me for. Apparently self promotion is wrong. Well I have no friends or colleagues to post for me, so it's self promotion or no promotion. Anyway, there was a time when I would occasionally find a gem from a dev blog on those sites. This fuelled the dopamine hit and got me coming back for more. Over time I found increasingly less content that was in anyway useful or insightful.
I've spent the last 5 days writing a Tiny Tank shooter in C with Raylib.
