Hi Anon! so sorry this has been rotting in my inbox for so long

I speak three languages (french, english, bsl)

I've forgotten my exact natural hair colour, I think it's a dirty blonde?

I am an avid tea drinker. 90% of the liquid I consume is tea. thé au lait. parfait.

I'm gonna tag some of my lovely mutus, we can make a chain out of it

Perks of marrying me: I will run my fingers through your hair when you lay your head on my lap

What are your favorite fonts for your browser? 👩🏾‍💻

I don't know what the font of my browser is, but it should be Arial or something of that sort. Do you guys care about that stuff and if yes, what font do you use? I recently noticed that changing a little thing like a font, wallpaper, or theme could spark the joy of using an application or a device. I changed the font of my VSCode after using it for years without ever tweaking it and every time I code I feel excited, my new font has ligatures, etc.

Font Name: JetBrains Mono

i want them to make it a lot of things but I guess too early to ask

Browser Alert!

I have wanted this browser for the longest time since I saw it's launch and now after a couple years, it's here! I can't wait to try it and possibly ditch it.

Coding is fun because most of the time your thing doesn't work is because of things like "forgor a pair of parentheses" or "you need to put this thing three lines up"

[codemerything]

It will be, trust me

I tried to simplify ! NOT Operator in Javascript

Some concepts can be really tricky when seen in a larger context or used differently than the examples provided when you just read about them for the first time. It happened to me with the NOT operator, took me a while to figure it out but when I did I knew I had to write what I knew about it and of course share. Please readddddddd ! ✨✨

Goals for this week

Back to regular posting on Tumblr and also practicing my touch typing.

I have so much planned out for this week and if I am serious I can have them cleared out before the week runs out. I am very excited to publish my first technical article for the year! I am rounding it up and I had great help and input from the discord (PS: you all should join it's been a bit lonesome these days but it's still active)

[codemerything]

let me give a shot at being myself

i really love spending time here with you all codeblr and the tumblr community but it feels like a hobby and sometimes i feel like the time i am spending here is hindering my growth and opportunities because no one is hiring from tumblr (although that would be really nice) which leads me back to twitter which idk lol but what i have realized is tumblr inspires me to be a better programmer because people here just wanna build and learn and that's the type of community i wanna be surrounded by and i will try to remind myself everytime i find myself on x or twitter-- that being said:

I started learning touch typing because I just know i wasn't using my all my fingers and @somniphobicfox has an incredible wpm and it's inspiring af. so i am currently learning and this post i am currently practicing with it.

The site i am using is Tipp10 but you can download the software if you want to.

I have been reading ‘Hackers & Painters’ by Paul Graham recently. Paul is a hacker who gets pretty rich after his company which uses Lisp for development and one of the first companies used server based programs with lots of releases instead of a Desktop app. I really enjoyed this book. Even tho some parts were outdated, it makes you think about certain topics. It was more excited at start but gets kinda boring and unnecessarily longer in the end. I wanted to quote some parts i chose from the book:

While the nerds were being trained to get the right answers, the popular kids were being trained to please. (p.4)

hackers start original, and get good, and scientists start good, and get original. (p.26)

People in past times were much like us. Not heroes, not barbarians. Whatever their ideas were, they were ideas reasonable people could believe. (p.38)

scientists, or at least of the good ones, is precisely that: look for places where conventional wisdom is broken, and then try to pry apart the cracks and see what’s underneath. That’s where new theories come from. A good scientist, in other words, does not merely ignore conventional wisdom, but makes a special effort to break it. Training yourself to think unthinkable thoughts has advan- tages beyond the thoughts themselves. It’s like stretching. When you stretch before running, you put your body into positions much more extreme than any it will assume during the run. If you can think things so outside the box that they’d make people’s hair stand on end, you’ll have no trouble with the small trips outside the box that people call innovative. (p.39)

How are we to develop new technology if we can’t study current technology to figure out how to improve it? (this IBM having patent and abandoning to open their products are mentioned in the tv serie named Halt and Catch Fire too)

Authoritarian countries become corrupt; corrupt coun- tries become poor; and poor countries are weak. (p.43)

since you don’t understand the code as well, you’re more likely to fix it in an ugly way, or even introduce more bugs. (p.65, this is also what I hated on people I worked with, also please don't forget to clean the code after deletions)

It works a lot better for a small team of good, trusted programmers than it would for a big company of mediocre ones, where bad ideas are caught by committees instead of the people who had them. (p.69)

Wealth is stuff we want: food, clothes, houses, cars, gadgets, travel to interesting places, and so on. You can have wealth without having money. Money is a way of moving wealth, and in practice they are usually interchangeable. What most businesses really do is make wealth. They do something people want. (p.90)

Many employees would work harder if they could get paid for it. (p.97. I would)

Steve Jobs once said that the success or failure of a startup depends on the first ten employees. I agree. If anything, it’s more like the first five. Being small is not, in itself, what makes startups kick butt, but rather that small groups can be select. You don’t want small in the sense of a village, but small in the sense of an all-star team. (p.100)

Norbert Wiener said if you compete with slaves you become a slave. (p.124)

Great work usually seems to happen because someone sees something and thinks, I could do better than that. (p.145)

The word “essay” comes from the French verb “essayer,” which means “to try.” An essay, in the original sense, is something you write to try to figure something out. (p.160)

In OO languages, you can, to a limited extent, simulate a closure (a function that refers to variables defined in surrounding code) by defining a class with one method and a field to replace each variable from an enclosing scope. This makes the programmer do the kind of code analysis that would be done by the compiler in a language with full support for lexical scope, and it won’t work if more than one function refers to the same variable, but it is enough in simple cases like this. (p.197)
