From Reading Your Entire Blog More Than Once... I Think Yeah, A Bit...

From reading your entire blog more than once... I think yeah, a bit...

And it is also me...

I am wondering if this is something a lot of developers have... Or any other group defined by their work...

My life is a constant cycle between "I need to rest before I burn out" and "I'm wasting my potential, I should work harder"

I was at a job interview... And the HR lady said "You are very... intense..."

I was making extra sure to do eye contact and could think of nothing to say...

So I just maintained my smile and eye contact and did a quick nod while saying "Yep"

Audhd time!

If you have adhd or autism (or both) you either have serial killer energy or easily murderable energy (This is just from personal experience from the people i know and i just immediately know which one they are)

Which one are you?

Yep. Also... Doing things you like and are proud of is good for your mental health. Which makes you more productive ( A bit like how physical training does )

I am right now learning Ruby ( for a potential job ) while training my C++ skill back to what they used to be :p

“it’ll take too long to learn xyz”

learning is everlasting. you do it everyday. you are now just being intentional with where your attention and energy is going. why aim for mastery when you can aim for enlightenment?

the time will pass anyway. do it. learn it. no one is stopping you but you! don’t waste anymore time wishing you were a genius from day 1 then continue staying in the same place. 1 year forward, you’ll wish you had started. stop that cycle and just start now.

the future you bears the fruit the present you labors.

growth is beautiful, don’t knock it.

The trouble with the whitespace in python can be pointed out quite simply.

Your IDE most likely compensates for it. Those vertical lines that shows which scope any number of lines is. Thus, admitting that it is a problem that needs to be compensated for.

It compensate for badly placed brackets and languages like python that uses whitespace (Defined as, character types humans cannot see.)

But yeah, it is survivable, and python is VERY nice otherwise. I think of it as THE ideal language to work in if I need to do high level programming. C++ and C for low level and efficiency, and Python for when efficiency does not matter and it just needs to work quickly.

*Deep inhale*

Besides the weird white-space dependant syntax

Python is pretty good

And it is open source.

This is made by… many many people. Very few payed to do it.

And it is better than any other documentation method. Because when you build systems around the betterment of the human race, them you can rely on things like "Nearly every person wants to be a good person." and other such neat facts :3

Announcing the MDN front-end developer curriculum

I had totally missed this announcement when it happened, it really kind of flew under the radar. but I really do feel like it's a big deal.

MDN is one of those sites that I can't live without as a developer and to find out that they're working on creating and refining their own developer curriculum is really exciting.

Now whenever anyone asks me how they can get started in web development I'll have exactly one place to point them to and I know it will be the best resource available. 🤓

Weird fact... try googling this... it is TRUE. Basically, the C++ Committee (Who decides everything C++) have never named a mascot. And so if you google for C++ mascot. Google will show you the most used picture for that phrase. This picture. So the answer to "What is the C++ mascot" is.... this
