Done with #SICP exercise 1.13. Another hard one for me, this was way more math than I've done at any point since high school. Wouldn't have managed without outside help!

Friends, who has experience with local-first web apps? What stack do you use? Preferably Clojure/Script but not required.

I've been able to have a consistent early morning routine for the past few days with studying #SICP and writing code for my project, and that feels really great. I really hope I can keep it up, because it really energises me for the rest of my day!

Fuckin' 'ell, finally finished #SICP exercise 1.11. That iterative process bit was super tough for me.

How do I get good at math as a 42 yo with a kid

Kind of in an in-between space rn. Building stuff and learning stuff but neither has paid off yet in any tangible way. The fear that it never will is real, and so is the need to actively convince myself to believe in the path I chose for myself.

Or just use a do instead of a named let!

Had to go learn to use let, iterations, and vectors to come up with that one, but it works.

It's crazy that the optimised production build of a simple "hello world" in #ClojureScript is a whopping 97kb. I'm guessing this is the ClojureScript runtime, the Google Closure lib, and shadow-cljs related stuff.

I like writing Clojure on the frontend, but maybe it's time to reconsider plain JS? Or am I overreacting? #theWorkshop

The #SICP example of counting change (page 51 of the PDF) is kicking my butt, ha. It took me a really long time to understand that "using all n kinds of coins" means "you can choose freely from all the n available types of coins but don't need to use all of them". And now, as a challenge, I'm trying to come up with an iterative process to solve this and I'm really struggling!

No one said that studying computer science at 42yo would be easy 😌

I used a template for my #Clojure project, and while it helped me to get started, I’m now in a place where I can no longer fully reason about my project because of it. So now I’m setting the project up from scratch, using only what I need. Grateful to have learned enough to be able to do that.

This is an important post full of valid questions, and beautifully written to boot.
