#MakeAllTheThings

I swear my treadmill exists in a time bubble - 30 minutes on it feels like 2 hours of walking outside

for (int i = 0; i < ∞; i++) {
heartComment;
}

Sometimes I feel like I am just shouting into the void loop()

Learning @python.org is teaching me that marketing is mostly lying, and coding languages are no different.

I don't think I'll ever be a command-line enjoyer

Learn backend development the smart way | Boot.dev Welcome to the most captivating, finger-flying, addictive way to learn to code. The smartest way to learn a thing is to ensure you're never bored.

Started a new coding website - Boot.dev - really cool gamified learning system, making it feel like an RPG. I plan on continuing @freecodecamp.bsky.social but I am making some big moves in 2026 using @python.org so I couldn't help myself. 71/179 in python. @wagslane.bsky.social

I just want you to know that I saw your pun and appreciated your pun lol

I love that feeling, feels like you accomplished something. And then it's comically hard to wash your hair

Want to trade?? :) also what are you doing taking pictures at 50km/h? Lol.

Looks fantastic!

I am envious overall and I would love to see the inside!

I mean this in the nicest way possible: on a quick glance I thought your photo was inside @asavage.bsky.social 's workshop!

Day 49 of ??? of my learning to code journey! Today was a long workshop - which is fine but I am afraid I may not 'get it' when it is too guided - only the future will tell! Course by @freecodecamp.bsky.social

Actually just go here and make sure you perform the modifications that "step 115" asks you to do and then you can resize the code output and see it change: www.freecodecamp.org/learn/respon...

Responsive Web Design Certification progress - 276/276 in HTML done, 948/1169 in CSS done.

Day 48 of ??? of my learning to code journey! Today was a massive game of "my code works but the software disagrees" so that was frustrating - the solution? Use a totally different syntax than when the site asked me to do it last time 🙃. I guess that's coding sometimes. @freecodecamp.bsky.social

It's all done within the built-in editor - I can send you the code via Discord if you want!

Day 47 of ??? of my learning to code journey. Today was a whopper of a workshop where an entire cityscape is created using only <div> and CSS - and it is responsive, turns to a night scape using a @media enquiry! cool stuff!

Day 44 of ??? of my learning to code journey. Today I did some massive progress including finishing a lab that I had a lot of trouble with - feeling quite accomplished today and I am well on my way to the Responsive Web Design Certification! Course by @freecodecamp.bsky.social

Thanks, actually did a massive chunk today and will post progress soon

Day 43 of ??? of my learning to code journey.
Today I went back after over a month of not following the journey and a lot has changed - it seems there are more, smaller certifications, so here is my progress on the first one! Course by @freecodecamp.bsky.social

You'll be the first to know! I have a stack of TIP120 Darlington transistors waiting for an excuse to be soldered

Really cool! I feel like putting them on breadboard, and then on pcb!

Thanks for the post!
