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. diff --git a/content/lists/book-recommendations.md b/content/lists/book-recommendations.md index bcb0155..6d31274 100644 --- a/content/lists/book-recommendations.md +++ b/content/lists/book-recommendations.md @@ -8,6 +8,7 @@ listType: two-column filled ## Fiction - 13 Reasons Why +- Arc Of a Scythe - The Richest Man In Babylon - Harry Potter diff --git a/content/lists/music-recommendations.md b/content/lists/music-recommendations.md index b8720fe..3f598bb 100644 --- a/content/lists/music-recommendations.md +++ b/content/lists/music-recommendations.md @@ -106,3 +106,7 @@ NOTE: The order means nothing (might sort alphabetically later) - "Shinunoga E-Wa" by Fujii Kaze - "Suzume" by RADWIMPS ft. toaka - "Play Date" by Melanie Martinez +- "ABC" by Polyphia +- "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley +- "Havana" by Camilia Cabello + diff --git a/content/lists/some-cool-websites.md b/content/lists/some-cool-websites.md index 44b5d98..3bb437a 100644 --- a/content/lists/some-cool-websites.md +++ b/content/lists/some-cool-websites.md @@ -22,3 +22,4 @@ And that's what I think, is the essence of this lesser-known part of the interne - Nuange - <https://nuange.neocities.org> - Yesterweb - <https://yesterweb.org> - Stallman Onii-chan's website - <https://stallman.org> +- Brad Taunt's website - <https://bt.ht> |
