Because a love for leaving behind what works to make something in a different language that also works fills your soul with joy?

Yes? I don't know what you expect me to say here, why tf wouldn't learning a better language every now and then fill me with joy? I'm dabbling in side projects all the time and when I switched from React to Svelte I felt elated because it's just so much more comfortable to work with. If your boss is not paying you for your work that's that but nothing stops you from learning new stuff for yourself. I do understand you not wanting to hand your boss your training for free but nobody forces you to do that either, just don't mention that you can use python when asked. That simple.

I feel like we are "mirror images", but not in a predictable way.

Like, you get off on flying through languages having done things in said languages but never fully understanding any language and I get off on not needing a new language until I fully understand the one Im on, but LOVE informing you on the same tripwire you hit in each new language whilst I trip over that same thing in my language. Every. Time.

I dont fancy you wrong, just not correct.

I'd hope you'd fancy me not correct, but also not wrong.
