All "takes" on this blog reflect real policy that will come to pass in the dark era of my rule

I have a lot of things to do today but I have enough time to read a little bit and drink some coffee. 😙

#ive been coding a bit after days of doing nothing of it #at the end i will finish this thing in swing and then port it to .net #swing could serve as a multiplatform version too anyway ;)

Whether I get a job or not, my goals this summer are:

- Finish this little project

- Finish a similar project on Spring Boot (I'm tired of annoyingly made websites, so I will write my own tracking media web): not sure if thymeleaf in front or angular in front (thymeleaf would be more comfortable for me, but angular would make me better at... angular)

- Easy todo list for grocery shopping: I'm currently using one that was OK, but it is slow, AI features (IN A GROCERY LIST APP????) and advertisements so I'm tired. I want to make one without unnecessary stuff, just... A todo list, that's all a grocery list should be...

- I need to keep doing cs50, I'm still on the image recovery assignment 💀

- I need to update my web portfolio, last summer I did it with CSS and vanilla JS, but it is worse than ts2 code... trust me, so I want to redo it in bootstrap and vue (or react). And again, it would make me more competitive for job listings 😮‍💨

- Make one of the games I want to make in godot, not a big game tbh, but I'm still learning and this one will make me learn a lot of stuff for more "serious" games (enemy AI even if it is for a board game, multiplayer stuff, blender, etc)

It might be a lot to do for two months but as I'm free for now... I'm trying to get a summer job at least, but so far it isn't going as planned anyway...

#👩‍💻👩‍💻👩‍💻#i should update my linux too but thats so... annoying... backing stuff and making things work again...#by my linux i mean my old as fuck laptop that i use sometimes #my bf gave me his old laptop which is way more modern but... same 4gb ram i should upgrade it... 🧐#and i should update content in my neocities website but i dont know what to write

I've been lazy about this software because it is almost finished, but it was done as an excuse to practice Swing in case we had an exam (we didn't, yay! I'm glad because I can't remember that much stuff and you don't get a cheat sheet). Anyway, Swing is outdated so I don't know if I should finish it anyway and then make a version in .net which would make me more competent in job offers and we will study it the next year anyway so I would have an advantage in exams because I would already know the basics of c# and .net.

Or should I leave my program as it is and jump already to VS, leaving the Swing version unfinished.

#its just to organize my physical games xD nothing too big or hard #im also glad we didnt have an exam because it would be swing + datamanager + dbmanager #without cheatsheets or anything two hours at most 💀#im glad our internship took one week longer (thats the reason everyone avoided that exam xD)

If you have the ability, please learn to code.

I haven't seen many posts about this, but part of the reason radical feminists and women in general are getting effectively silenced is because men control tech, and there are few women with the skills to set up our own networks.

I'm not saying learn to code and get a job in tech, but your activism can be so much more effective if you have a solid coding foundation. Need a list of all the Crisis Pregnancy Centers (fake abortion clinics) in the USA, in a data format that's easy to track and update with new info over time? That would take hundreds of hours manually. I can write a scraping script, set up a local sqlite database, and get running in a weekend. If I want to make that list public-facing, but don't want the hassle of setting up a more robust database like PostgresQL or MySQL, I can export a JSON file and make a web page that generates listings for each entry in the file.

Automating manual data entry saves so much time. Web scraping saves so much time. Knowing how to access APIs to get the data you need saves so much fucking time.

I highly recommend Python as a beginning programming language. It's a mature language that is still updated, has wide support, has a lot of free learning materials aimed at people who are new to programming, has intuitive syntax, and it has a ton of libraries and frameworks that cover the spectrum of tech needs. If you want to do it, there's probably a way in Python.
