The More I Work With Front-end Dev The More Respect I Have For UX Designers. It Takes 2 Hours For Me

Can never settle on just the right DPI setting for my mouse

I continue to be surprised today. Haskell is also cool, at least based on what I’m reading. I haven’t written any yet, though, so we’ll see. 

Maybe I’m just in an open mood. Should I break out the old assembly docs and test that theory? 

.... Nah, I definitely shouldn’t do that.

I like that a Razor pages app (and really ASP at large) makes organization effortless, but I do not like how complicated a simple project becomes because of that organization. 

Yes yes I know that it’s not made for small projects and it exists for large, enterprise endeavors, but still. Just let me pass data to my pages without 3 hours of configuration. 

C is a shot of American Rye (100 proof, bottled-in-bond)

Python is a Ramos Gin Fizz

Javascript is a bone-dry, dirty, vodka martini

React a Cosmopolitan

Angular an Appletini

Express an Espressotini (yea I say that instead of “espresso martini” because I find it more fun this way)

C# is a Sazerac with equal parts cognac and whiskey, and the person making it will HAVE to tell you how “a lot of people say it’s the first cocktail, but that’s not really true”

if i were a drink i’d be cherry vanilla coke

Guess who jumped into his first React project without any planning and now continues to add features thereby creating a monstrosity of spaghetti code. THIS guy!

For those of you who are worried about AI taking over the world, this is the sentence produced by a “neural network” (a fancy name for my relative frequency matrix) after I had it read Beowulf, Galen, Guinea, Little Women, Mansfield Park, Peter Pan, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, A Tale of Two Cities, and The Call of the Wild. (All are freely available on Project Gutenberg in many filetypes including plain text, btw).

Update: While fun and neat, I still have yet to find a suitable hobbyist use case for Go. 

Update: I never even gazed at the pond. And I do not intend to.

It’s high time I dip my toes into Rust

The MySQL dolphin is adorable

For those new to code culture, I encourage you to revisit the original post’s comment section numerous times over the coming weeks.

Because the battle over that choice for H is going to age like fine wine. Sure, sure, there’s a definitively right answer. But what power does definition hold in the face of emotion? 

Maybe we can make a scavenger hunt out of it. Point values for potential phrases below:

{

     “Describes” : 1,      “Instructions” : 2,      “Markup Language” : 3,     “Haskell” : 5,      “Turing Complete” : 8

}

The only statement I’ll go on record saying is that whichever side you take, I respect you and you’re safe here.
