“How did you spend your time off of work?”

If you’re lucky enough to have a chunk of time when you don’t need a job, you want to make it count.

Only you can answer this question for yourself, but it’s helpful to hear stories of how others have used their time, and what they wish they’d known when they were in your shoes.

We’ve had thousands of people spend time at the Recurse Center as part of their time off of work. We’ve gotten to see what works and what people regret.

Next Thursday at 1pm, we’re hosting an online panel with three alums, who will share their stories of how they chose to spend their time not working.

This week, three people shared their handmade programming languages: Ryan Goldstein’s Felt, Bruce Hill’s Tomo, and Frederic Kettelhoit’s Kombucha. We learned not only about their features and syntax but the philosophies, joys, and challenges around building them. Could you build your own language? Should you? We dare say… yes!

Thank you to everyone who came to our December Localhost. We’ll see you next year!
