Have been a musician for most of my life and a computer tinkerer for all of it. I'm currently rediscovering my long-neglected love of all kinds of technology alongside my desire to live with less.
Great to be here, and super excited to see all the inspiration here in town 🙏

Put up some notes I took from the book "Algorithms To Live By" on my site. It's kind of a mega dump, but I tried to organize it as a tickler for interesting things I found in there.
Just finished day 20 of #adventofcode and it's starting to really push my limits of looping over everything tons of times
Client: Can you do this thing?
Client: Can you do this thing?
Client: Can you do this thing right now?
Client: We really need you to do this thing.
Client: We need this thing done right now!!!
Me: OK, let me look at it.
Me: You didn't give me this bit.
Client: Oh, sorry, give me a few minutes.
Me: Twiddles thumbs for two hours.
Was able to finish all of today's #adventofcode . When all you have is a for loop, everything looks like a list
Anybody keep anything like a coding diary for your own reference? I've been noting down things I have to look up more than three times (in a reasonable timeframe) but am finding it a bit unwieldy and am wondering about how anybody else approaches this problem between memory and the entire documentation.
Okay part 2 of today's #adventofcode went well over my head in terms of any kind of ability to solve it. Now is when I slowly do research and advance at the snails pace. I had a good run of 9 straight days of solving though!
I'm reading this article about Forth and I am almost 100% positive I found it on here and saved it. I don't even know what I'm really reading but it's fascinating.
