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

It’s high time I dip my toes into Rust

React makes life almost too easy. I worry that I’m missing something.

What’s the end game here?

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.

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!

Typing a paper for class and one of my subheadings reads, ”What’s the point of working?” And I didn’t think through how much that would affect my ability to write the rest of the essay.

Submitting a PR without unit tests is like having a manhattan without a cherry

Sure, it’s easier, but exceedingly less satisfying

Now that I have a degree in computer science, I will insist that I am a scientist and must wear a lab coat and goggles while I work as a software developer.

WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WANTED TO PUT THIS MANY PARENTHESES IN SCHEME. MY IDE IS LITERALLY OUT OF COLORS FOR THE AMOUNT OF PARENTHESES I AM TYPING.

Alright so I find myself liking C# and the .NET framework. For anyone who hasn’t delved into understanding what it is and WHY it is: .NET is, like all other frameworks, a collection of tools for developers. Except this one is on steroids, and tailored to Windows BY Microsoft, meaning you can make awesome Windows applications without tracking down everything you need. It’s all just right there. 

C# is basically C++ with all of the .NET adapters actively available. You can also think of it like Java but instead of running inside of the JVM, it runs on Windows. 

Microsoft’s documentation is also really well-written for it, which is nice.

BONUS in case anyone is curious: ASP.NET is a framework that extends the overarching .NET to provide tools specifically for web application dev. I haven’t gotten far into the ASP documentation yet so I can’t say much about it other than that.
