Went to React’s website to learn the Tic Tac Toe tutorial (it’s about time I got around to it) and was pleasantly surprised to see this. Way to go, React.

Raise your hand if you spend more time criticizing yourself for inefficient use of keyboard shortcuts than you would actually save by using them
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!
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.
It’s interesting how as I’ve progressed as a programmer the things I turn to for therapy have also progressed.
At first it was Scratch: after a span of getting frustrated by Python I would play with Scratch to at least make things that did what I wanted them to.
A little while later I wrote HTML and CSS to feel good about myself, because even when the default padding for <body> screws up your positioning there’s at least SOMETHING on the screen instead of an aggressive error message.
Now, it’s python. When Scheme or Haskell or C or Java or C# (less so C# - it’s actually pretty nice) or even Javascript are bothering me I can always turn to Python to feel better.
I wonder what it’ll be next? Maybe one day I’ll see C++ as my relief. Probably not. But maybe. Perhaps the final evolution of a programmer is when you can feel completely peaceful while writing Posix level C. Perhaps even assembly. Probably not. But perhaps.
You know how there are a lot of programming languages that people say are “really powerful if you know how to use them”? And how usually those languages aren’t at all worth the time? I think Haskell might actually be worth the time. After a hiatus I’ve come back to it and love it. I hardly know how to use it, but at least I can perceive how it might be really powerful.
Prolog is still the worst, though.
There are only 2 options when I’m writing my commit messages:
1. “I haven’t pushed in a while so here are a LOT of changes to at least 7 files.”
2. “I hate myself because I worked for 2 hours tonight and as I write this message I realize that all I have to show for that time is a 3 line for loop.”
I was today years old, unfortunately
My mind is still quite firmly blown
Submitting a PR without unit tests is like having a manhattan without a cherry
Sure, it’s easier, but exceedingly less satisfying
