1 | I'd like to attend RC for 3 main reasons: |
2 | ||
3 | 1) To surround myself with more like-minded people, who have a passion | |
4 | for programming, and are naturally inquisitive. I love these kind of | |
5 | relationships, but the last time I was able to be surrounded by those | |
6 | kind of people was in undergrad. I still love my friends from then | |
7 | though! | |
8 | ||
9 | 2) To rediscover my passion for programming. Working on software all day | |
10 | every day has drained my love of programming. This burnout seems like | |
11 | it could be treated by removing myself from the daily work structure. | |
12 | I don't even have the energy to hack on any projects on my own after | |
13 | work, since I've spent all my energy fighting microservices and | |
14 | workplace politics. | |
15 | ||
16 | 3) To increase my abilities. I feel like I know what I //don't know// at | |
17 | this point. It makes me intimidated to even attempt things, like | |
18 | writing graphical games! Being pushed and working in concert with | |
19 | others who have abilities I don't would be a boon for that mental | |
20 | block. |
