+1 for Astro. I use it for my personal portfolio and I’d choose it again if I had to do it from scratch.

It will come in time, promise. I had a REALLY hard time understanding recursion until I started using it more

Something I’ve been trying to cultivate is the ability to “externalize” my thoughts (even if it’s just to myself). Like, more of a process-oriented approach. it’s so easy to bang out some code that works, but sometimes I look back at what I wrote and think “how did I wind up here”

What about some simple katas? I’ve been learning a few new languages and don’t want to forget the syntax / common methods, so I pick an easy kata and solve it in each. I find that this is usually enough to prevent me from forgetting everything

Grokking Algorithms and A Common Sense Guide to Data Structures and Algorithms

I would LOVE for Nim to get more web stuff

As someone who picked up Raku without knowing anything about Perl (besides the fact that it had something to do with regex), it was a little surprising :)

There’s also RunTipi and Cosmos

The problem is, ChatGPT tends to be very willing to throw code at you, even if you didn’t ask for it.

Six weeks isn’t much at all. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Get used to being okay with Googling shit - you’ll be doing that a lot.

Tbf, DSA is a hard topic. I struggled with them in bootcamp. Two years later, they’re still hard - but much less so. I don’t think they will ever be easy. But less hard is a small victory, and small victories - I take those anytime I can get them

OMG looks like Raku

Yeah, I get that. I’m on sabbatical RN, so my GitHub usage is purely personal. Having your work feed hijacked is a different story altogether

Idk, I actually kind of like the “for you” feed. I’ve discovered some interesting projects on there that I wouldn’t have otherwise

I felt this 😢

I tend to always install both of them together too! Which makes it a little hard to know where things are coming from. This time I decided to start from scratch, so certain aspects of the config are still salient in my mind

Hmm, it didn’t “just work” for me. I had to set it up recently:

zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list '' 'm:{a-zA-Z}={A-Za-z}' 'r:|=*' 'l:|=* r:|=*'

That line needs to go in .zshrc. Maybe it’s enabled by default with oh-my-zsh?

The first tic-tac-toe I ever wrote looks something like this
