Ask HN: How to move from traditional tech into game dev?

Hey all, I’m keen to learn how you can move from ‘traditional’ tech roles into game development. I love games and, while I know there are some issues re: salary & hours worked, still think I’d regret not trying it myself. What are the usual sideways paths one can take to go that way? My tech stack is almost definitely irrelevant; Python, JS, Rust, Haskell, etc… Any tips from the game devs out there?
