What are your hobbies?

I'm not familiar with most of those frameworks, to be clear. I taught myself basic CSS and HTML as a teenager and set up a tech site with a friend, but don't remember most of it at this point.

If you're serious or genuinely curious about it, taking the tedious path is worthwhile - you can then understand how the wheel works and recreate it any way you want when it comes to CSS.

I agree, this is why I focus the most on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript because they are the core web technologies and slowest to change.  I like the idea of a CSS Framework, but it never satisfies me, and those technologies are changing too so now you gotta keep up with that framework, which is a lot of work to master.  I'd rather spend my time working on Vue.js if anything extra.

Do you often code from scratch? 

Best I can do is *Markdown*.

Movement.

My practice includes:

-Walking, running, sprinting, rucking & hiking.

-Flexibility, mobility & stretching

-Calisthenics, handstands, hanging, squats, etc.

-Dancing, rope, kettlebell & stick flows

-Sandbag training

-Myofascial release.

-Skiing

Never used Markdown but I know what it is.  I only have 3 sites that I'm currently coding so I'm doing them all from scratch only using HTML, CSS, and a little bit of JavaScript.  They have different functions.  One is a personal site, one is for my life purpose, and one is for philosophy.  I might need to learn more as time goes on.  I don't really have the bandwidth to learn a bunch of tech just for the sake of doing that.  I feel bad for people who are in tech because that stuff changes so fast and all of it requires a bunch of time to learn.

I admire your dedication to the craft. With AI, it's too tempting to outsource most of the coding work to it these days. Not that this is necessarily bad. It depends on your goals. 

Ahh, yeah, I remember lurking on one of those websites many years ago for your book list and downloading your commentaries/journal, but I never got around to reading them (just some fragments).

What was the last hike you did and when did you do this?

I live in Montréal. There’s a big mountain in the middle of the city. I don’t have a schedule, I go whenever I feel like it. I would like to see other spots sometimes but I am too busy to leave the city at the moment.
