Hi Tumblr, I’m Back. I Hope You’ve All Been Well.

C is a shot of American Rye (100 proof, bottled-in-bond)

Python is a Ramos Gin Fizz

Javascript is a bone-dry, dirty, vodka martini

React a Cosmopolitan

Angular an Appletini

Express an Espressotini (yea I say that instead of “espresso martini” because I find it more fun this way)

C# is a Sazerac with equal parts cognac and whiskey, and the person making it will HAVE to tell you how “a lot of people say it’s the first cocktail, but that’s not really true”

if i were a drink i’d be cherry vanilla coke

I can’t even style a SCROLLBAR without it looking like a potato.

Well of course. Mina is an ELITE data wrangler.

Want to go on record and say that the owner of this blog did, in fact, read dracula daily. Time and time again I tried to think of fun ways to relate it to programming. Yet time and time again I couldn’t bring myself to do it.

Not because there weren’t ways I could shoehorn in a weird analogy, but because I admired the characters too much to force one. Idk it just felt disrespectful to bring code into this.

Will happily disrespect Dracula, though. Got some real cobol energy from that dinosaur. Particularly the way he drains the life out of a lot of happy, wonderful people.

You can change your font and you can change your float

You can set margins, that’s just the style you wrote

You can { display: none; } and you can overflow

But you’ll always google how to center a <div>.

Then 2 weeks after this, looking at the chaos that is your disorganized, jumbled mess of code angry and disappointed in yourself.

Rinse and repeat.

Am i the only one who does this

For those new to code culture, I encourage you to revisit the original post’s comment section numerous times over the coming weeks.

Because the battle over that choice for H is going to age like fine wine. Sure, sure, there’s a definitively right answer. But what power does definition hold in the face of emotion? 

Maybe we can make a scavenger hunt out of it. Point values for potential phrases below:

{

     “Describes” : 1,      “Instructions” : 2,      “Markup Language” : 3,     “Haskell” : 5,      “Turing Complete” : 8

}

The only statement I’ll go on record saying is that whichever side you take, I respect you and you’re safe here.

Alright so I find myself liking C# and the .NET framework. For anyone who hasn’t delved into understanding what it is and WHY it is: .NET is, like all other frameworks, a collection of tools for developers. Except this one is on steroids, and tailored to Windows BY Microsoft, meaning you can make awesome Windows applications without tracking down everything you need. It’s all just right there. 

C# is basically C++ with all of the .NET adapters actively available. You can also think of it like Java but instead of running inside of the JVM, it runs on Windows. 

Microsoft’s documentation is also really well-written for it, which is nice.

BONUS in case anyone is curious: ASP.NET is a framework that extends the overarching .NET to provide tools specifically for web application dev. I haven’t gotten far into the ASP documentation yet so I can’t say much about it other than that.

Submitting a PR without unit tests is like having a manhattan without a cherry

Sure, it’s easier, but exceedingly less satisfying

Typing a paper for class and one of my subheadings reads, ”What’s the point of working?” And I didn’t think through how much that would affect my ability to write the rest of the essay.
