I am/was mainly interested in Common Lisp. I might give Vim another try, that would be the best if it worked. I really don't like vscode

I just wish a good IDE existed so I don't have to use Emacs. That's what made me drop lisp in the past.

I would be happy with (neo)Vim setup as well, but that was way behind Emacs and broken when I tried.

This is pretty cool! I am also interested in game engine programming, but I am in the very beginning of the journey.

Do you have any recommendation on voxel engine learning materials (e.g. books, courses, etc)

How can I, a regular software engineer, learn about quantum computing without having to learn quantum theory?

Worth spending a little time doing some long tail strategizing I’d say

any tips for starters?

I'm in similar shoes as OP, want to do something else. I think I'm burned out, and don't have the way to fix it (e.g. taking a year long sabbatical)

I was looking into a lot of these things you mention here, problem is the "golden handcuff" from software engineering. I could only start doing anything new by taking a HUGE pay cut for many years, and I simply can't do that in my current life situation.

Let me know if you have a solution to that :D

There is a HUGE difference between 30fps and 60fps games. Very noticable. I got used to 60fps so much, that I don't even touch 30fps anymore.

It's true that your eyes(or brain?) can get used to the 30fps after some time. But if you compare them side by side...

This is something I could definitely do. To be honest I am trying to save myself from the trouble.

But if there are no existing, up to date comparisons, this will be my fallback plan.

This is a perfectly sensible objective, but always keep in mind any trade offs between development time and server costs. Sometimes less efficient frameworks are faster to develop in, and it can be worth suffering a slightly greater server bill to get an MVP out quickly, especially if the server bill is small to begin with.

That totally makes sense, but I already researched a bunch of frameworks, and that's how I came up with these 3. I have hobby experience in all 3, and all 3 seems very efficient to work with.

I am in similar shoes as OP.

I see "networking" a lot, but how exactly? Unfortunately, I am not in contact with any of my former colleagues of employers apart from being connected on LinkedIn. Starting conversations with them on LinkedIn would be awkward and weird. What else can you do?

It doesn't help that I'm a introvert, not really a social person. Probably contracting is just not for me.

I remember I read about this before, random article: https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/data-storage-techniq...

  A whole new kind of digital data storage could protect the legacy of the documents humanity considers most precious. The tiny glass disk can store up to 360 terabytes of information, and will be able to survive for billions of years without damage or data loss
No idea if the technology is viable, or how much it costs. But you can do some research based on the link.

I don't think you are the first one thinking about this :)
