There’s nothing quite like the unique pain of navigating an unfamiliar codebase that treats abstraction as free and lines of code in one place as expensive. It’s like reading a book with only one sentence per page, how are you supposed to understand the full context of anything??

Software devs in general seem to have a hard time with balance. No comments or too many comments. Not enough abstraction or too much, overly rigid or loose coding standards, overoptimizing or underoptimizing. To be fair it is difficult to get there.

The problem with modern UI design in a nutshell…

I use Vscode with markdown preview, with a git repo. The only downside is that Windows incessantly wants to group instances of an application, so it’s hard to keep my notes separate from my coding stuff.
