Esteemed friends, welcome to my dev blog. A direct English translation for my pseudo name would be "Tinear", it hints towards an old Afrikaans proverb: 'n Blikoor wees — So genoem omdat Vrystaters dan kwansuis dom sou wees omdat hulle nie met blikore kan hoor nie. In other words, just hinting towards the province of origin. 😜

I have been learning to program for a few years now, but I have never really developed anything. Studying several programming languages in courses over the years and following along with tutorials, I still find myself in Tutorial Purgatory. But although I still feel like a beginner, I like to think that I am a game developer by heart. 😏

The general consensus seems to be that there are numerous convincing reasons to blog about your journey, for new developers and professionals alike. I look forward to assisting other developers in good faith and hopefully escape Tutorial Purgatory myself in the process. Admittedly, it would be equally great to learn from other community members as well. 😎
