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