Update: While Fun And Neat, I Still Have Yet To Find A Suitable Hobbyist Use Case For Go. 

Raise your hand if you spend more time criticizing yourself for inefficient use of keyboard shortcuts than you would actually save by using them

You know what I haven’t thought about in while? Ruby. Maybe I need to polish off the old gemstone. 

I watched a youtube video about GraphQL last night and it is not at all what I thought it was. And then it made me realize that SQL, too, isn’t what I thought it was. And now I feel rather silly.

LEDs are a critical component for any workflow

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)

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

Hi Tumblr, I’m back. I hope you’ve all been well.

I do hope I’m not the only one who takes 8 hours to decide on a font stack. And it still never feels exactly right.

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.

A lot of computer science algorithms are just means to describe activities humans do naturally.

Sorting a list? Humans do it no problem; heck, in a vacuum one might adhere exactly to a quicksort + insertionsort hybrid (a speedy combo on many datasets) without even knowing it.

Bigger example: graph theory. The foundation of modern databases, neural networks, and gps routing came from the contemplation of the people of Königsberg. Euler just harnessed raw thought into a concrete set of rules and instructions that further our innate abilities.
