A better translation of the last sentence from Goethe runs "Here I sit, for all my lore, the wretched fool I was before."
I.e. in the German original Faust is standing whereas he is sitting in the English translation. And yes, Tor in this context refers to Thor, not a goal.
Thanks, I didn't notice the spelling error. Honestly the reason I dropped out of high school was undiagnosed dyslexia and dysgraphia. It makes me so excited when someone is willing to show me that I spelled something wrong and then call me a fool. You know. Because ability to spell is far more important than the fact that I've forgotten more about Linux than most system administrators will ever know, or that I can program in over 10 languages and am familiar with DDD, CRQS, SOLID among other design patterns. I've mentored over 50 developers, and made Principal Engineer before I turned 35 despite my lack of credentials. I worked my way up from Help Desk to PC Support to, Network Admin, to System Admin before becoming a Software Engineer. But, nah, I'm a fool because I've misspelled a word. Thank you kind stranger for pointing out my limits, it gives me an incredible sense of frisson to know people like you are out there to keep us all in check.
Exactly this is my side-project at the moment. Hopefully it will show up on "Show HN" in a year or two.
