Programming is never easy. You’re never doing the same thing twice, because code is infinitely reproducible and if you’ve already solved a problem and you encounter it again, you just use your old solution. So by definition you’re kind of always on this frontier where you’re out of your depth. And one of the things you have to learn is to accept that feeling – of being constantly wrong.

Post content for Standard Post format

I’ve stumbled upon a very interesting article on Slashdot about a writer learning to code: Code to joy

It fits perfectly to my series of articles about how coding is broken. But this article is more about discovering the joy in coding, those heureka moments we all experience when learning to code.

Also, this article slaps epic objective quotes to us, programmers, quotes defining the art of programming, things we don’t see anymore, by being sunk in minor technical details in the everyday job we perform almost blindly.

You don’t have a right to believe whatever you want to

Post content

One might disregard evidence; accept gossip, rumour, or testimony from dubious sources; ignore incoherence with one’s other beliefs; embrace wishful thinking; or display a predilection for conspiracy theories.

Log Lolla Pro won’t be necessarily a blog theme

Post content for Standard Post format

Since I've started to work on the Pro version of the Log Lolla theme often times I find myself thinking about that this theme is somehow meta. In the sense of dealing exclusively with the extraction of meta-information from the blog posts to form knowledge. Continue reading

RSS is back

Post content for Standard Post format

The most popular story on Hacker News last week was Wired’s It’s Time for an RSS Revival.

Within the around 500 comments there is a consensus among the hackers: RSS never really went away, and everybody (Reuters, New York Times, Youtube, etc.) offers an RSS feed ever since. What we lack is a (killer) app to re-surface the RSS potential.

On Log Lolla Theme

Post content for Standard Post format

As I’ve written earlier I’ve lost contact with WordPress around ten years ago. This means I’ve never used it for my own content, instead I’ve used Tumblr, Twitter, etc and my self-made blogs to do the job.

Now I find joy in posting everything to this blog running the Log Lolla theme. I’ve always pursued to create knowledge from my everyday learning and reading. Up until now this knowledge was scattered on many external services … now I’ve got the heureka and the mission: create a theme which is the centrum of all this activity.

After maturing Log Lolla will be the single destination to collect my thoughts, inspiration, links to learn, development timeline, and all else going around my mind.

One day, I hope, it will be also yours 🙂
