We Build Stuff!


Hii Everyone !

I'm really exited these days. You know that I've always been a fan of making a little progress but making it often, rather than waiting to climb a tall mountain and just draining out during the trek.

So, it's a lot of things that I'm learning and trying to record everything little thing seems quite overwhelming so I'd just share the highlights of it all.

I've come to believe that apart from a good machine, we really need a good working habit. Pomodoro is helping me a lot and so is f.lux, thankfully my eyes are not feeling as sore as they used to previously. So, I take that as a good progress. Actually, it involves often forcing myself away from the screen for a few minutes and just walking about or practice rolling my eyes, exercising basically and then coming back with a refreshed focus.

The physical aspects of good programming are, sadly ignored, much to our own harm. Having a sound and healthy body is the first requirement for good programming, that's what I've come to belive. But coming back to the BitWorld, I've realised that the dotfiles( the configuration files ) are the pearls of hardwork that gives the programmer his/her identity.

Sounds a bit too romantic, no? But that's just how I see it, you know the most amazing statement I head recently is "We are Engineers, we build stuff" - trust me this filled my heart with pride! Yes, I do like to build stuff and programming is like magic, art of thinking!

If we only examine and understand how to make good programs, good software and make it good and in a swift way - it teaches us the art of thinking. Of keeping schedules, keeping track of decisions and discipline. Above all I love the fact that, this is perhaps the only art form where we don't need to rely on much, just a computer, a willing mind and perhaps Internet. That's it.

So, we are free to build amazing things. Man, I love it!

Right now, I'm working hard on the Learning With Text and Anki, to port them to JavaScript based environment and yes, I don't think that JavaScript is an awesome language or the perfect language ( Probably, Julia or Haskell is;p ) but this is the world we live in. Much like English language no, so I think it's much better to be fluent and expressive in JavaScript first and only later, with good skills under my belt I'll able to improve what I build the way it's best improved. Oh, it's doubtless that apart from JavaScript the One language that's best for dealing with everything is Python.

Python and JavaScript the two awesome prototyping languages;p


Have fun and stay awesome!!
