She's got a – I know there's no video element to this, but I have all these stickers, like ghost stickers. They're not finalized yet, but I just have so many of these things. And she's at the age where she loves stickers, so I'll show it for you. Nice. You can see all these stickers. There's about a dozen. There's so many. And she has all of them, and there's ghost stickers all over her house.

And my wife jokes that she points at it and goes, oh, that's daddy's work because for now it is daddy's work. And so, like, that's – yeah, that's what it is.

Oh, yeah. I mean, even when I wasn't really when even when I was just doing go see, like literally at night after the baby slept, I was actually doing it. I require a lot less sleep than my wife. And so I've always been like a six hour a night kind of guy. And so I was actually when she was an infant and waking up in the middle of night.

I was just not going to sleep before she woke up that first time. I was like, I will just work, and then I will handle the baby and feed her the bottle and put her back to sleep, and then I'll go to bed after that. And so that was sometimes midnight or something. And I would sometimes run into my wife when she was awake. I'd run over to her and have my phone out.

And I'd be like, look at this, look at this. And she's like, oh, do you have a cute video of our daughter? And I'd show her the video, and it would be like font rendering. And she was so disappointed.

Yeah, you could find a tweet I did, I think, end of 2021, very early 2022, where I talked about how I was interested in Zig, but I had no time to use it. And it was always in the back of my mind of this interesting programming language. And I think as important background to me, I was a...

professional paid C programmer for a year or two of my life, somewhere between a year and two years of my life. And, and I like low level system stuff. I actually like C and so I wanted to, it was very, HashiCorp was very close to getting all software written in C by the way. That's very, it was very close.

It was between C and go and go one, but it was very close to C. And I wanted to, to get back to systems programming, but I, I recognize the warts that C had, and I was looking for a better C. And Zig, to me, always felt like that. And years into using Zig, I feel the exact same way. I feel better about it. it brings me joy every day to write Zig. And, and so that's really it.

You know, later on, I learned about the community. I like the community, the sort of the founder of the Zig programming language, Andrew, really, we've now hung out in person multiple times, really awesome, like kind person and his technical points of view are fantastic. And, and so everything sort of came together where I'm just having a lot of fun. Yeah. And that's sort of how it, how it goes.
