Learn C on Linux
Came across this article of ways to Learn C on Linux which took me back to my 3rd real programming job.
It was with a software house mainly working with C/C++ on Linux/ Unix and embedded systems.
My first real experience use C/C++ in a professional environment, happy days with a good bunch of geeks.
If you’ve never tried it before it would be a good change from more recent languages to learn C for a challenge.

Picked this indie retro style platform game for my Playstation 5 cheap recently.
It was released in 2013, so old now but still a good play.

Six Months
Doesn’t time fly, been at my new job with the DWP six months now.
Still enjoying it, learning new tools (Nomad, Pact, etc) and techinques as they say everyday is a school day.
I a major part of it is the team I joined, most welcoming and helpful bunch, looking forward to the next six months.
