Now
I am in batch at the Recurse Center
, rediscovering the joy of programming!
Currently while at RC, I am migrating my personal site to this new site, exploring creative coding with The Nature of Code, and getting lost in the holiday shuffle š¤¶š¾
Because every so often, I have to Google again for How To Use An Emoji As A Favicon Easily. Hereās the one-liner to add to the <head> tag:

We ā¦ may want to explore a new artistic area, but we donāt see where it will get us. We wonder if it will be good for our career. Fixated on the need to have something to show for our labors, we often deny our curiosities.

omg! TIL that when i have a local repository, vscode can handle publishing it to github!! so i donāt have to separately create a new repo in the github ui, then set the remote origin etc etc, before pushing whatās local up. phew, i was always so reliant on copy-pasting those commands from the github ui š (via)
trying a thing called ādecember adventureā this month and pushing the code here: iconix/december-adventure! more info in repo readme
note: i think once i have a āgardenā on this site, this type of update will migrate thereā¦ but until then š
Iām a web guy. Iāve been bullish on the web for 20+ years, and I will continue to be. I think it is an extremely capable and unique platform for delivering software. And it has only gotten better over time while retaining an incredible level of backwards compatibility. The underlying tools we have are dope now. But our current framework layer is working against the grain instead of embracing the platform.
hard agree, as i re-enter web-dev-land. iāve been bullish on the web too, excited to get back into building hereš
before closing this tab of paint splatters that has been running for daysā¦ šØ
wowā¦ what a treasure trove!

I have also found much microblog content inspiration from Prem Ganeshkumar, who I stalked before he interviewed me for an ML position at the NYTimes. Bombed that system design interview, but gained a stellar prototype in return.
The form factor of this āmicroblogā is inspired by thesephist/stream: A Twitter-like micro-blog for personal project updates and snippets of thought, written in Oak. Thanks to Linus for open sourcing!
