Doing Stuff

@skillstopractice I've been writing about what I learn while building software since I first started to learn coding 8 years ago. A tad more than 60 posts as of now!

Knowledge without memory is useless

If you've got a personal website where you blog, share your learnings, or do other cool stuff, drop it in this thread.

It doesn't even need to be software development specific (but if it's not, mention the theme in your reply)

The open web of "people doing cool stuff" is something worth reclaiming.

@halfbyte Awesome!

I am doing Pi projects with my daughter and so we aren't at this level yet but love knowing what options are out there.

I think that the line for me is that a program compresses and augments human reasoning in a repeatable way.

All tools do this on some level but for example, a saw has an immediate and direct relationship to its purpose, to cut wood.

A program is inherently more abstract than that, and its outcomes need to still involve human thought or behavior to be meaningful, even if the program *also* drives physical automation.

@pointlessone Makes sense that we aren't seeing this same way because I see multiplication tables and stonehenge as programs!
