That’s 16 classes each with 3 overloaded constructors you need to edit… Now as it turns out I don’t feel like I actually do that much development these days but if anything that’s part of the problem. In the not too distant past I used to run home or, during The Event, remain at home and spend another few hours messing around in code or other code adjasent activity. I’ve always enjoyed learning new languages. I enjoy seeing the same problems solved in different ways and trying new ways of doing things. You wouldn’t believe how many dead side-projects I have… double the number you’re thinking of. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not blaming work for my situation. I enjoy my job ( that’s what I keep telling myself anyway ) and I find it mostly rewarding. Ultimately I think I’m bored and Iv’e been struggling to get back on the horse. There’s one thing I’ve noticed though, of all the dead side-projects and toys I’ve written, I keep coming back to one and that’s the SSH CA Server I started a while back in Go. ...
