Almost any time you say “Everything is a _” you’re in danger territory. “Everything is a list” or “a tree” or “a stream” tends to lead to a lot of work spent preserving that idea
i want to make it very clear this is not me throwing shade at @pfrazee.com . software engineers are absolute poets for being able to express the nuance of reality to machines that think in either 1 or 0.
as a product manager who can write sorta decent code in a handful of languages, i have immense respect for all software engineers & developers.
y’all are able to write philosophy that impacts reality. that is an existentially cool skill set.
i taught myself enough full stack stuff to minimize the amount of annoying questions i ask engineers & so that i could write & submit basic af bug fixes for FOSS projects i love lol 10/10 would recommend for everyone.
Coding is mostly therapeutic for me, its basically like stimming
Coming up with an idea, break that down into separate functions, write em out and tie them together with over-arching logic
It is soothing :)
