I'm doing it "the hard way approach". Every time I challenge myself like this I get harder/better/faster/stronger
Right now, I'm writing a sort of json parser from scratch in C using low level
I/O functions byte-by-byte just to convert the json endpoints on Any Forums to an HTML page that I can download/read daily. It's opening up a lot of realizations about how I go about things in general and helping me achieve mindfulness in my work.
It is quite monk-ly. Im doing this almost religiously

Code monk here reporting in.
ALL CODE MONKS ITT REPORT IN !!!
Andrew Turner
sounds familiar.
right now I'm delving through the MPEG specification to implement C code to parse frame headers.
Liam Richardson
Sounds cozy fellow C-monk. I’m writing a sandbox game in C just to detach myself from an object oriented mindset. It’s hard but I feel like I will come out the other side a better coder.
James Anderson

I too am returning to C-monke after too many years C++.

I think programmers are usually judged more on the popularity of the things they make, not really how much they spent practising or how much they know. If the code is open source then they'll also be judged on the general quality of their code but not much past that. Also their personality if they have a public profile. John Carmack is a good example, people call him the best but really there's probably way better. Same with Terry Davis. You're mostly judged on your knowledge in interviews. And in the workplace on your speed and how many bugs you have

This is very early AD&D.

spending more time in VR to avoid thinking about it, still trying to understand work codebase :(

This is Code Monk not wageslave general.

Its pretty early because its pre-AD&D ... its from the Basic Set D&D Set 1 box that I still own.
The artwork from that series was stunning.
James Long
How will being judged by the general public make me understand code at a deeper level?

Write a *rolls d20* bar chart graphic generator in *rolls anywhere d20* Haskell!

Writing a window manager (and maybe full desktop environment one day) on libxcb and C99 as a way to learn more about C programming in a Unix environment. It's pretty minimal and very much suited to my personal tastes, but I'm hoping to get it to the point where I can actually use it for real daily with a really good, performant codebase.

The Path Of The Code Monk cares not for these worldly worries.
The Way involves rescinding worldly status.
Adrian Sanders
you will use your code skills to impress the general public with fancy websites like twitter or Any Forums or pornhub etc

Yah. I meant more like it's the output of your skills than your skills that matter, if that makes sense. I'm not saying don't care about being a good programmer though
Justin Brooks
Amen to that my dude
Jayden Sanders
It matters for the way of the business man, but not for the way of the monk. Monks can do business; but the end goal is true mastery
Landon Campbell

Good point. John Carmack is definitely a Monk, anyone who does stuff like calculate 1/sqrt(x) like picrel is obviously Monk tier.
