programming daily #92 - 2025 01 31

programming daily - drakon renderer - simplified the types a bit, getting ready to parse user input (again!). The project has dramatically changed over the last weeks, so now I need to put all the pieces together again according to the new types.

Hey, your vid just got recommended, and I am currently just getting back into programming so I’m getting them on my recommended tab, just wanted to say what is the goal of the vids or why are you doing it, like is it educational or something for yourself to actually program more!
Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your comment.
Not sure I would call it a clear goal but I wanted to produce something I would watch myself:
* casual programming sessions that can run in the background and do not require full attention
* not a lecture or a tutorial
* haskell/functional programming oriented
* relaxed, loosely defined project (drakon diagrams renderer, diagrams, processes)
* no leetcode exercises
* a record of me producing open source software that other people can use
Maybe my motivation will change over time but so far I'm quite happy recording these whenever I have a moment.
All the best with getting back to programming!
