Hello, world!

Can’t Hack is a blog. Those who know my might know that I already have a blog over at stereochro.me, but this is meant to be something a little different.

Over the years, I’ve began feeling somewhat burned out in general. There are so many things I used to enjoy doing, but now lack any passion for.

Coding is one. Over the years, it’s transitioned from being something I loved doing just for the sake to it to being little more than a job.

Writing is another. While I’d never say it was a great passion of mine, I did enjoy it, both fiction and non-fiction. The problem, I think, is that as part of my job, any writing I did became something I did for others, but which they never cared to read: writing went from being something I did because I liked it or liked what I was writing about to being… a chore.

I used to have hobbies. I mean, not ones that most people would think were super exciting, and some of them would be considered weird by a lot of people (though conlanging has gone a bit more mainstream in more recent years), but I liked them. No more though.

So I feel burned out, and need to do something. This blog is meant to help me fix myself. I figure it would be a good idea to document my work on various things in the form of a blog. Even if nobody reads it, maybe I’ll get something out it the exercise.
