So after socializing a bit I learned a few things including the use with help from AI chatbots:

My brother just does his thing. Who ever wants to talk to him, will talk to him out here in Oshawa and online. You just do your thing.
David hates socializing and does his coding niche. So he needs solitude and goes on a tangent to get away from people. He needs people to understand that method of life. It is to build and extend build with a outlier thoughts and creations. This helps everyone at the end. He needed to extend. He propped up a post in Oshawa.
Living in North America, is a long burning process over a lifetime really. Sounds hard and sad but doable if you just sit around doing your tangents and have nice simple drinks and donuts.
This is old, old man and Western living. David used to remember projects and science experiments takes decades if not hundreds of years of work.
If you frame life in computer science and coding, you realize you are building frameworks and foundations for you to learn and grow and use and appreciate but also aid others. People quickly dismiss the coding work and just click the button. That is a tragedy really. The coder that works on the software worked for hours if not decades to understand the concepts to code the button click. The start to end of that interaction is quite lengthy process to think in code. Even further the assembly code and even the circuit logic is quite a hard process to put in your brain coming from a North American culture that values instant fun and enjoyment. So to value life and yourself is to understand silicon.

Exciting and upsetting news

In high school back in the early 2000s, I am still part of the Hardware Canucks forum group that migrate mostly to the Discord of Real Hardware Reviews. This Discord is about people who cherish and live the proactive, positive, collaborative, engaging way in North America. No negativity just First World humor and news. This will always be a positive in my life, a group of people my age since the early days.
Life is bad when you don’t have space to do your hobbies. Life in Canada/USA is determined by 21st century work and lifestyle. It is not based on the family life of the 1950s. I am getting annoyed by how some people think. Life of true mastery of the everyday is 21st century living that probably came around the time when computers were finally cheap enough to own. Some people completely forget that computers exists and are so short sighted that they think life just happens. Swipe with your Credit Card and go has made people completely forget the foundational work of the 21st century. For example, YouTube video and Shorts and the 5 min videos has made parents think coding is done within 30 mins during your lunch recess.
When you get to 35 years old, when young people or inexperience people criticize you, you either go home or tell them the circle of life. Most young people still dismiss it. They think age doesn’t matter and their lived experience is proof that you are wrong and they are in the right. They sometimes go so far saying that their individual unique experience has credit over you. All you can do then is tell them how does the 21st century work and what is a complete lived experience which is from 0 to 41 years old which is from baby to overcoming mid-life crisis of getting old and farty.

Linking life …

I had great life in Ajax, Ontario before high school. Did I learn everything I needed to know in elementary?

I think 99% yes.

In grade 6, I loved working on the computer and decided to make tools one day. I was set on that and thought of the world of it.

After grade 6 then life hit me.

Grade 6 to 7 is when other needs came around like dating, differences and categorizing and distance? Comparison is what happened …

Grade 7 is when I realized I am alone in this life.

Tried computer programming and could not do this solo. Needed help but it did not come around.

Was I too hard on myself? Did living in Ajax, ON with Westerners make me think this way? Yeah …

I knew I was alone really.

Comparisons and people reacting human to other peoples personal endeavours.

Living in Ajax, Ontario taught me to live for myself a bit.

I kind of knew this would take 20 years at this point …

…

But really realistically, as a 21st century 2nd gen Vietnamese born in Canada, what else is there to do when you live in Canada?

What am I going to moan about, talk about, get excited about, jump around for?

If you are 2nd generation Vietnamese born in Canada or even 3rd gen, what are you doing on your PC?

Are you doom scrolling? Watching all the YouTube Shorts?

How much electricity did that use?

Time to pivot.

If you can not pivot on your own, you should ask an elder ‘your family way’ to push you in the right direction. Your mother and father must have a treat for you. Some kind of trade if you change your ways to age and wise up.

Seriously, life is good if you do coding.

It is seriously really, really good.

I can not tell you the benefits of doing your own thing through self created software.

You must take the steps to do it regardless of how long it takes.

You need to figure a way to buy enough stuff (hardware, electronics, and media and entertainment) to do coding. I maxed a couple of credit cards in the process.

Seriously, have fun and feel abstract all day. That is the key to living good (like me).

That is the thing I want to share and say. If you code like me and live your life like me. You are always happy and in a good mood.
