In life, everything is a POST request. You think you are calling GET, but you're just playing with responses.

Tried forcing myself through Flutter like I did with Django. Eventually had to (again) grow my skills in the primary development language.

Note to self: do this in the proper order next time. Picking up Dart properly now.

Work thrives best when there is a stable flow of calm energy. Code a little, relax a little. Stress does little for productivity, from my point of view.

I used to be really opinionated about programming languages. Used to feel needless emotions about this or that framework; this or that style of syntax.

Realize now that this was my innate fear of learning the uncomfortable. Decided to become the best that is possible in the field. We all want this to some extent - at least I think so. We all have developer fears to some extent, as well.

Being human is wonderful. It would be nice to tap into this further as one grows digitally.

Proposed future career path in order of sequence: Data Analyst, Data Scientist, DBA, Business Analyst, Machine Learning Scientist, Data Engineer.

Thoughts, anyone?

I had a mini-crisis last week. I swore off JavaScript in all its manifestations, deeming it irrelevant and annoying to work with. The irony is that deep down, I knew I'd need it for frontend and web-based data visualization. As it would give me the level of control I need in these fields.

I'm back at it again, after a period of peace and rest. I currently thinking it was just the burnout I faced as a result of remote team activities revolving around an MVP I needed to release for a startup project.

*shrugs* One has to do what has to be done.

Very wary about online courses at the moment. Just reading the docs works for me (especially when building a real project alongside).

Videos teaching fundamental concepts work. Those that claim to be deeper, often are not.

*shrugs*

Python's documentation is savage though ... 😂
"it’s your problem if the file is twice as large as your machine’s memory."

For a long time, I was hungry for a stack. Now I'm entirely indifferent. I'll use what I know to build what I want. If what I know is not enough, then I will learn. No more playing around. Its time to be epic!

being a dev

!= "being a jerk"
!= "feeling superior"
!= "asshole priviledges"

be humble, sit down

ever `git push` and have an "oh shit" moment?

!dev

JavaScript be Jah's language

*i* && *i*
be the Index and Iterator

no *array* of Babylon fi stand me *code block*

Jah! the *{curly braces}* spit fire

Fuck frontend development. We just broke up...

I started out building a personal React portfolio web app. Now I'm turning the project open source and as a free one page React template.

Frontend Libraries are not all that. Jumped around from react-bootstrap to mdbreact when I first learn software development. Now I know simple old LESS is good enough, when used the right way. Do not overthink projects.

I just cleaned all the node_modules on my hard drive. I feel healthier already.

My terminal lost all highlighting. My theme keeps getting reset back to the original. Things can only get better from here... Thank you VS Code.

The internet is the new wild west. Anything goes. It can be difficult sometimes.

Try to focus, and stick to one segment of Software Development. Do not jump from framework to framework, or from prog language to prog language. Be very loyal to one programming language.

You can not fail. Neither can I. I am too high to fall.

I just did my first semester presentation! Github project had faulty internal links. Had to fix, and still make it in time. It went great! Powerful, I dare say. I give thanks to the Internet.

I have a presentation in a few minutes. The entire thing is on Github. ISP do not fail me now.

Looking what I found in the souce code of a random page on Time.com

I am a Poet, Musician and Coder - plus I love art. I believe there should be a proper intersection between technology and the arts.

I want to create the largest tech consortium for the arts globally. One that will motivate and inspire artists, the world around. I want to build the tools they require to succeed, and give them the best platform imaginable.

I want the obscure of the world to be given a voice, because of my technology. And for this, and I need to build a family - more than just a business. I am motivated enough to do by this. I have begun already.

Life as a developer can be odd. There is a certain constant feeling of insufficiency. You can never learn enough, know enough, or code enough to be the best.

It is like living life as a digital Tantalus - always too far from the fruit, always too far from the stream. We desire, and sometimes attain. Yet still, it is ever enough.

What are we to do?

Boldly leaving odd git commit messages, because you know no one else will read them...

I broke up with my girlfriend, and I built a website (https://ilovedred.netlify.com)

Someone made fun of poetry, so I built a website (https://why-og.netlify.com)

I could basically build a website for any semi-logical reason...

Currently building a random psychology website. Why? Psych major, final year. Will I be using lesscss? { nah } ... fancy js? { nah }

It will be a simple fucking doc style website. With markdown files and minimal styling. I need to become a better backend dev either way.

what does this tell you about life?

I was going to sleep [laptop powered off], then power came back.

First thought: yarn start

bye bye 127.0.0.1
