Enjoying digging into the Zed Shaw Python book.
How is this going, if you have this must interest you must have always been a developer at heart!
It's fun. With Thanksgiving and today (since we get the Friday after off), I've treated myself to this and actually playing some Everquest again (after a month's drought).
I do enjoy creating [things.] Much of the enjoyment from teaching came from creating music with the kids. I can remember when I wrote my little scripts for creating Exchange Online users, there was much joy with experimenting, breaking, and triumph.

My grandpa was a teacher and got me programming when I was 8, so I can definitely see how that personality profile would fit.
Something to check out is Crystal https://crystal-lang.org/
I have always liked Ruby and this just seems to be the next levelof that. Its fairly new but hundreds of contributors.

Just made a breakfast tray and brought it to my wife, still in bed.
The wonderful joys of the children being at grandma’s house for two nights.

I don't think that typically Fedora updates kernels between releases, do they? I wouldn't expect it till Fedora 28 releases.
