Top 5 I have replayed over and over so far:
- XCOM: Enemy Unknown/Within
- XCOM2 (probably more replayed than the first one)
- Prison Architect
- Frostpunk (the first one, didn't get to replay the second one a lot yet)
- Game Dev Tycoon

Have used it for a smaller project for a bit now and I really like it as well. Concise code and I can still map it to actual SQL in my brain.
What has been a bit non-intuitive for me though is the expression builder since the latest major version of kysely. When writing queries with `OR` conditions it always takes me a while to wrap my head around it again. It is also challening to make this easily readable with lots of dynamic `OR` conditions and I usually end up with a wrapper function which returns the array for the statements passed into the `or(` block. Could be improved in my opinion, otherwise a great tool

I kind of agree. Even now there are tons of third-parties dealing with the authentication for you, you will still have to write code to actually integrate with them and hook this up to whatever your user data is. I have written a few authentication layers now, and while I feel there are added benefits with third-parties, the amount of code I have to write is similar and strongly customised to the vendor offering the authentication solution.
Then there is also the problem you are facing and that is tooling not being language-agnostic across the board and you will have to re-implement similar patterns when changing the backend language or framework.

Pretty much binge listened to these this year:
- Startups for the Rest of Us (https://www.startupsfortherestofus.com/): Great podcast for any aspiring entrepreneur and bootstrapper.
- The Knowledge Project (https://fs.blog/knowledge-project-podcast/): Great interview podcast around a variety of topics
- The REWORK podcast (https://37signals.com/podcast/): Probably don't need lots of introduction here. Read the books in the past, but its great to actually hear Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson to actually talk about those things.

> Which language if I may ask?
Mandarin Chinese. I taught myself the basics (and a bit beyond) quite a while ago, but I am unhappy with either always having to start from scratch with every new tool I try or learn irrelevant things I am not interested in. Before I have seen your site I thought this to be quite a niche use-case, maybe it still is.
Really just want to scratch my own itch, but if I can also add value for others and make this a well-rounded product, even better.

Nice. I am exploring something very similar, but for a different language. I am curious if you considered making this a business (as in paid features/subscription based) and if not why not?

Instead of focusing on a "cool" product, try to focus on companies/products which are solving meaningful or interesting problems (subjective to what you find meaningful and interesting of course) and then apply there. In my experience that is the best route of being happy and productive there.
Career progression is great, but there is an upper ceiling as long you want to still code. Only renumeration can still go up on some point.

8 years old. 30 minute screen time per day. Enforced via Google Family Link and Switch Parental controls. He has to finish all his daily errands before he is allowed to play (mostly like unpacking his school bags, do his homework/reading, etc).
We allow him extra time if he helps at home with things, either watching our little one or doing laundry or others which come up.
He is mostly playing Minecraft, Roblox or watches Youtube videos about those games or Lego on Youtube Kids. He barely watches any TV anymore, a movie every other week or some TV show every now and then.

It depends actually what is your purpose.
If you intend to learn about stock trading for personal finance reasons you can follow a lot of blogs or podcasts in the FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) community. Some examples are the stock series of JL Collins (https://jlcollinsnh.com/stock-series/) and the Mad Fientist (https://www.madfientist.com/, the blog is a bit tax focused, but it goes well with the Podcast).
If you want to learn about active trading then you need vastly different resources and not really my expertise.
Just wanted to mention that there are basically two philosophies here and based on either what knowledge you want to gain or how much risk you want to take as an investor you will need to choose what to learn.
Highlights are that it completely free, no login required and works offline (once you "downloaded"/cached some files the first time around).
