I really wish I did something that more people found interesting. Like I spent a few hours yesterday making a
Turmite and thought it was all exciting. I sent it to a few people when it was done and showed my brother and like, it was a really cool thing because hey! I made it, it worked, I'm cool! Computer Science rules! And it was easier than I thought, even though I was using python (a language I had never used before), I only spent like 4-5 hours on it and it worked perfectly! Nobody really cared about it, not even another programmer. I showed my best friend and all he did was stare blankly and say "oh. cool?".
am I really such a subculture(??) of computer programmer that not even other computer programmers are interested in the same things as me? I could be like a sociologist or a psychologist or a linguistics major or something that people actually care about and be able to say cool things and people will agree they're cool like "hey, i learned in my sociology classes that if you put a fox in front of a moving car and a person in front of the moving car 9/10 people will save the fox" and the people around me will say "hmm very interesting, I think it's because..." and we can have conversation's instead of me being that awkward guy blurting something out "Oh hey did you know uh that a turmite can form a fibonacci sequence given the right rules?" and everyone just kinda shifts away
the...the sad sad life.... of a compsci major...
