Cursor

VSCode was my main text editor and I started using Cursor this week, which is based on VSCode. It contains a lot of LLM features which makes my job a lot easier. I like writing code but there is a lot of tedious tasks when it comes to writing imports, testing and refactoring and a lot of googling to figure out solutions for different stuff that AI helps take care of. Hopefully it won’t take my job!

Strudel.REPL

This one’s for my live coders out there ♡ I’ve been learning how to work in a new live coding environment called Strudel. It’s special because it’s web-based and has some cool integrations, and personally I also like it because its notation lends itself really well to unexpected outcomes.

Learning how to code

Dudes in tech don’t want you to know that learning how to code can actually be super easy and fun. It opens up a whole new world of creative projects! It’s honestly wild how we’ve made STEM subjects feel like they’re way harder to master than others, or that they’re all just about cold logic while creative stuff is for “artsy” types. Learning to code reminded me so much of learning to play an instrument — if you just put in like 10 minutes a day, you’ll see progress fast. Plus, once you get the hang of the technical rules, there’s so much room for creativity.

Exploring femininity

As a child growing up with brothers and as the fat black kid, i never considered myself feminine. Even when i lost weight in middle school and went to an all girls high school, looking girly or being more “feminine” was just not something i thought about. I feel like recently, i wanted to explore that more, as this pull to dress and appear more feminine has become super strong. Having a house to decorate in any way I can, actually starting to feel better about my body to wear skirts again, etc has really influenced me. But my fears are that it may portray trad wife or child’s play; I’m nervous of stares or being questioned about my views if i were to give such a strong appearance of a girly woman. But some of my inspirations have been strolling through vintage creators and small japanese insta accounts with super pink and fluffy aesthetics. Hopefully i will build up the courage

Lets not jump To conclusions

i saw something a tad bit politically upsetting this morning through a reposted TikTok, and when i looked up the story in the news, what the TikTok said about this political issue could not be substantiated, but only implied and rumored. I’m kinda peeved because short form media has really allowed people to become media illiterate and spread things that are either lies or unsupported claims, because they know people aren’t going to read a 3-4 paragraph article on a news site and disseminate information on their own. Something I have learned in therapy is to kinda look at more things in life as neutral, and not go into black and white thinking before making a decision. Take time to act on something (when it’s possible) and take things at face value most days. Being in an elevated state of emotion when doing something is not usually good. I just wish other people could do that today, because sometimes it feels like I’m the only person in my realm who can.
