Never knew Linus was an avid diver, definitely going to give this a shot when I get back to my dive center tomorrow.

Kind of regretting buying a nice new logbook the other day.



All these years I been programming I thought I was at least a better scubadiver (non technical but since being 13 years old) assuming Linus doesn't even have time for sports, and then today I find out he is not only diving on mixed mixtures (technical deep dives) but also wrote a software that is 10 times better than anything out there related to diving. Sheesh.

Anyways, to make this post worthwile something: if you haven't tried yet, please take a scuba-dive dip. Only once with instructor. I have passed on this great sport to so many of my friends - there is only one outcome when you go take a breath underwater - you either hate it and never try again, or you will get addicted and open yourself up to a brand new world of adventures :)


I've been diving most of my life as a hobby, but a few years ago I decided to give up software and start diving professionally. It was the best decision I've ever made.

Now Im not wealthy by any metric other than quality of life.
