#lucy learns to code

[musicalluna]

I am discovering the good coding camps want you to be able to do algorithm puzzles as part of the admissions process and I'm finding it exceptionally difficult.

for crying out loud. i think the markdown download is not a program, it’s just all the info. wtf. WHY ARE ALL THESE CODING WEBSITES SO DIFFICULT TO PARSE

[musicalluna]

HELLO. my dad visited this weekend which was a nice depression fighter. i also reread divided we stand which is possibly my favorite fanfic ever

i’m attempting to apply for the ada developers academy, but i’m having a little trouble figuring out how to get started with markdown which apparently uses perl and i’ve downloaded perl strawberry, but haven’t figured out how to add the library module (or if i need to??) so i’d appreciate it if anyone can give me any help

how is everyone??

ok it’s pretty exciting to look at random code being pimped to stop jerks on tumblr and understand what it’s doing

[musicalluna]

i can't believe they didn't remove any of the parts of the class recordings where they pimp on campus activities. like ten minutes worth of each of these lectures is a waste of time.

the documentation is supposed to help but I stg it just makes me more confused. my brain is going to burst. I have been trying to figure out how to do this supposedly simple exercise for like three days.

okay so I decided to take harvard's online cs50 class and it's ridiculous. there are prize giveaways and music videos and cake. what even harvard. I am taking the course. please stop selling it to me as "super cool"
