Hey, thanks for sharing, I wish you all the best finding your way!
I personally am yet in the beginning of the stated chronology where I love doing it as a job (part-time; full-time student) and as a hobby - what do I have to look out for, are there precautions you would recommend?

When switching from Mac to Windows, do also build the Windows PC by yourself, makes it way easier not to hate it in the beginning, as it is individually yours!

Best thing to look out for is when you start getting irritated at lots of different code. I now hate javascript because it's such a broken language; however, this may also be because I don't enjoy programming as much as I used to. This is a good sign that I may just be burned out.

I love the idea of building your own machine. Putting your spin on it definitely helps it to feel as your own. If only building custom laptops was easier!
