Programming

1 min read
Programming is basically my default state at this point (I am not touching grass, sorry). My journey started with Sketchware — a no-code tool for building Android apps directly on a phone. But as soon as I needed a backend, I picked up PHP. Eventually, those no-code solutions just weren't a fit anymore, so I moved over to Java, and things really took off from there.
I'm not really one for "holy wars" over which language is better (That said, I have my preferences... Kotlin, of course). Whether I'm working in Kotlin, TypeScript, or something else, I'm just looking for tools that help me be precise and stay out of my way. To me, the best code is the kind that doesn't leave any room for "guessing". It's achieveable in any language.
You can find my general programming notes in the Linked mentions below. These notes are just a collection of patterns and random things I've picked up while building stuff.
