It's surreal how to a programmer, the only constraint to what they can -do with a computer is hardware limitations. -Sure, if you want to do "literally anything" you have to be damn good at programming, but hey that's not a permanent constraint. - -I remember when I decided to learn Python a bit over 3 years ago. I literally only wanted to play around with the Ren'Py -visual novel engine because I heard that DDLC was written using it. -Insane how that decision changed my life. Sounds dramatic but programming is actually life changing! - -## I'm a good problem solver now - -I guess I *have* been kind of a problem solver from the start, but programming taught me how to apply those skills. -If something goes wrong, I can be pretty quick to pinpoint the issue. And that's solely because of my experience with developing software. -Everything is constantly breaking with computers and I've forced myself countless times to fix stuff, -which honestly made me wanna die (not really but it feels exactly like that), but now I guess I've fixed enough stuff to be able to -at least pinpoint issues with stuff fairly quickly. -Of course, if I had much more experience I'd be better at it, but it's not a pp measuring contest. - -## Customizability FTW - -Don't think it applies that much to other OSs but on linux, with just a bit of scripting/playing around with config files, you can make -some serious magic happen. I've talked about this, but I care a lot about customization; like I literally want everything to be of my -favourite color (doesn't even matter if it looks good.. to some extent), and I want custom keybindings and all that good stuff. - -My friend once suggested that there should be a way to update your MyAnimeList list from the terminal, and inspired by that idea, I created -[macli](https://github.com/MikunoNaka/macli)! It's a pretty simple program, but it radiates weeb developer energy. -Words cannot describe how it feels when I use my own software on a daily basis. Even if there is a bug I'd be like "damn I did an oopsie" -which is kinda funny. - |
