I’m almost done reading “A Common-Sense Guide to Data Structures and Algorithms: Level Up Your Core Programming Skills”. I think it’s a pretty great beginner resource and as a self taught dev, it’s helped me fill some gaps in my knowledge.

😭

When I first started programming a few years ago, I used Python’s default IDLE. After a few months of that I switched to Atom (RIP), and shortly after moved to VS Code. I’ve stuck with VS Code since.

Right now is a great time for PC gaming as the Steam summer sale is happening! If you enjoyed Portal, you might enjoy other Valve games like Half Life. At the moment, you can pick the franchise up for a few dollars.

fun game!

Here are the plugins I use:

• React Developer Tools (useful for developing with React)
• Ublock Origin
• Return Youtube Dislike
• SponsorBlock
• Grepper (shows convenient code snippets when I Google stuff)
• Cold Turkey Blocker (I use this to to block websites/apps when I need to focus)
• Shinigami Eyes (highlights queer friendly and anti queer subreddits/users/facebook pages/group differently)

I appreciate the pointers, but I’m definitely not a beginner anymore. This script is like 4 years old lol.

Hopefully if the 2-day blackout is unsuccessful they’ll extend it or plan more blackouts.

Thanks! Hopefully the end result will turn out okay and I’ll learn new things.

fuck yeah!

I’m working on a Discord bot that generates population density maps for servers based on the locations of server members. I don’t expect this project to be used by anyone, it’s just something to practice Typescript and SQL.
