Neither language is one I’d ever get to use at work, which has been a big reason I haven’t tried harder to learn them.

I’m not saying they aren’t production worthy, just that _I_ wouldn’t be in a situation to use them at work.

I’ve done some ReScript and I wish it could take off. It’s got features I love, would be great step forward for JS had TS not come along.

I’ve done the tiniest amount of Gleam, but I’ve not worked enough with FP langs to feel comfy solving more than maybe week 1’s puzzles with.

Might be worth it 🤔

Auth is possibly my least favorite part of all apps.

I got the P2S combo pack! Will be a learning curve, but I enjoyed CAD design in high school, think I can learn it for this

I already have a bunch of little things to build that I want around the house. Will see if someone has already designed them first tho.

Yep. The ledge is just embracing the fact that the foundation sticks into the room, some of the house is below grade. Was gonna lose about a foot around the room if I had just built the walls straight up.

Took sooo long to sand off the old dark stain, gonna go with a much more transparent, natural finish when I get to it.

Now I have some load-bearing Array.from()s in my code. Yay.

Oh, I’m not kenophobic. I love my space. My code needs to breathe.

Today I asked Claude to scaffold the most basic app. I literally needed it to combine a framework and a test suite to test a singular test in isolation. Couldn’t do it. Got itself in a loop and stuck.

Took me a couple minutes to do it myself. Less than it took me to tell it it was doing it wrong.

Cool. We'll agree to disagree.
