Never done any professional systems programming. C is what comes to mind. But don't let the simplicity fool you. It's pretty easy to shoot yourself in the foot with C. Recently I've been coming across ML family of languages.

I wouldn't call myself waiting until FI. I do spend a disciplined amount of time on a daily basis with things that I've mentioned I love doing. But as I become more experienced, the responsiblities of job demand a lot of attention

I am not wanting to be a contrarian just for the heck of it. Some of the goals are hard to live by while having a fulltime job that demands attention-span fully and is only asking for more. Could you explain your point a bit more though?

* Do not tie your identity / self-respect to your job (or) interviews * Learn to cut through bull-shit stuff at work. These are mostly to increase employee retention(targeting juniors) (or) free marketing/branding with our time. *

For me personally, the field as of computing is very exciting. But the CS jobs are very unsatisfying after you've been around for a while. Used to think academia might be different, but I've read enough cries to understand it migh

On the other hand I’ve worked on projects where talking is a prop to disguise that no-one knows what to do. Where a dozen people sit in a room and talk for an hour without saying anything and we all walk out dumber than when we walked in.
