It wasn't for nothing: How creating an operating system saved my life

This really spoke to me. I was in a very dark place a few years back and getting into coding really turned my life around. Other people have their own opinion of what success is. The important thing is not how they judge you but how you judge you. This article shows how far you've come in being your own hero. Thanks for sharing your journey.
@alemakers Well said. Meaningful work is hard to objectively determine, but it's usually a panacea to stress, depression, and a host of other issues for the one who engages in it.
I'm curious . How did you learn programming . Is there a book(s) that you can point to that aided you?
nice
good job!
Me on the other hand, I got tired of working on OS, kernel, device drivers, middleware, BSP and SoC... definitely was a journey though
That's an amazing story. I'm really glad you were able to turn your life around and find something you're passionate about.
Big fan of Guix. Thanks for developing it and for sharing your reasons why. Finding a passion for something is so important to our happiness.
