A creative approach to programming: this guide teaches you the fundamentals of coding through 100 hands-on projects using the Processing language.
From simple sketches to 3D graphics, sound, and interactive games, each example builds your skills visually. Ideal for visual thinkers, artists, and anyone who prefers to learn by doing.
I've found that I don't have much of a liking for backend infrastructure and that 90% of my irritation with it is the need to keep changing problem languages and contexts.
In UI, everything is written in one, maybe two, languages and you can see the changes immediately.
In backend full-stack? Every day, every ticket is a new family of languages to use to solve related but non-overlapping problems. I'm using Python to write and maintain the RPC service (and configure the database), YAML to script workloads (except the bodies of workloads, those are Python), SQL to build query state (unless I'm in the Python layer, then I use sqlalchemy because let's be honest, SQL is an ass language and it's safer to use an object-oriented tool that can build a sanitized SQL query with parameters than to roll your own), YAML again to bind queries to interface (but a different YAML, this yaml is configuring something else), some light C++ to fix a bug in this compute engine, a bit of protobuffer to bind the compute engine to its workload, oh but wait, we need to drive the compute engine, so that's Python that writes the protobuffer and stuffs it in S3 than fires an RPC (another protobuffer, but here it's JSON representation of that proto) to a server to spin up the workload...
... and now I want to display it all, so let's pop into TypeScript for a bit to extend the browser-based UI and I want to deep-link from this to a Superset dashboard with a dynamically-configured filter, that's no problem the filter is modified by query params that are of the form.... What the hell is Rison?
It's like this every day and it's getting to the point where opening my ticket queue feels like less of a fun challenge and more like "What fresh hell...?"
I'm reminded of a blog post Steve Yegge did ages ago, about a conversation between him and a staff engineer at Google about adding one new language. The staff engineer noted that the real cost wasn't in adding one more language and a few thousand lines of code... it was paid in the need for every engineer into the future forever to have deep knowledge of that language to maintain the code written in it. And, yeah, there's wisdom in that. Of course, in practice Google was little better... They'd put hard clamps on adding new languages and then internally multiply DSLs and frameworks about as fast as promotion cycles came around (this is not coincidence ).
Anyway...
To echo GLaDOS... I used to do just a game engine. You know what my days used to be like? I just coded. Nobody made me set up monitoring with Grafana. Or ran me in the Cloud. Or fed my data to a workflow engine. I had a pretty good life.

Hello #MakerMonday, it's time for #micropython. I built a giant colorful #legoeducation #RaspberryPi4 robot powered by the official @rpimag Build HAT. The battery pack is hidden under the platform. I am such a genius!

No, probably never. Because #JSON is a primitive data interchange format, XML offers more versatility and reliability.
I like this sentence from the article "XML may not be trendy, but it remains the backbone of system-to-system interoperability" and I fully agree. It is used far more often than other formats, but many people simply don't know the facts. Often young programmers dislike #XML because it's an old format, but that's a silly reason

Hi, I made a web application to check if the weather is optimal for a certain outdoor activity, to be able to plan better the days.
