What are some of your recommendations for books, videos, podcasts, or any other media that inspire and spark more passion for programming and computer science in general? I'm interested in hearing how these resources have helped you grow as a programmer.

A few years ago, when I was still learning rust. I started to read the raytracing in a weekend series and implement it in rust instead of cpp. I fell in love with both rust and computer graphics in general after that. Today I now work full-time (and as a hobby) as a computer graphics programmer with rust.

In general I just keep working on things I find interesting and never put any pressure on myself to actually ship anything. I do it because I want to not because I have to.
