Yesterday, I wrote about a great coding project idea that my coworker told me about. Today, I’m building that project in Python to show you how it works & what you can learn from it! Maybe you can build it in another language or library you’re learning! I strongly believe…

A fellow list member (& coworker) wrote in with a response to yesterday’s post about learning new things with tiny projects. My first program in any programming language is almost always a number guessing game (“guess the number the computer is thinking of”). Makes you figure out keyboard I/O, parsing…

I often hear (and feel myself) the complaint, “I know that I need side projects if I want to learn something new, but I don’t have a lot of free time. Plus, I don’t want to spend my little free time coding!” That really resonates with me. I totally agree…

I got a question this week. Will there be too many developers and not enough jobs in the near future? My answer: no. The world runs on software & the trend is still growing. We need more developers & will continue to need them! AI won’t take developer jobs any time soon. You’ll have to stay nimble and up to date with your skills. But we’ll still need developers in 2030, 2040, & beyond. Daily list I write something new ever day for 2,000 software developers on my daily list. Join us!

After a few months’ hiatus here’s another sensory check-in post. These are the sensations that have struck me recently. See Last night, I was at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. A friend of mine is an architect/designer there. She develops plans for the layout, spacing, color choices, and object…

Yesterday, I wrote about how there’s no such thing as pure coding. Everything you build will rely on libraries in some way, and much of the work of a software developer is getting libraries to do the thing you want. So, when you’re building a personal project, don’t be afraid…

I wrote a list of potential coding projects that you could do in an afternoon, and someone left me this comment: That’s a curious response to me. This person thinks that using a library is not Real Coding™. But of course we use libraries & open source tools all the…
