Blotted Dot

Man, some­times I love being on Dot­Comm. The chal­lenge of solv­ing puz­zles of how to put code together com­bined with know­ing that my work is help­ing an orga­ni­za­tion like APhiO is great.

But some­times, I hate being on Dot­Comm. I’ve been feel­ing more an more lately like I’ve lost my chops for real cod­ing. Nowa­days, most of the time, I’m more of a script kid­die than a real coder. I just take bits and pieces of real code, jam them together, and try and see if it’ll stand.

I really, really, REALLY hope who­ever wins Pledge Par­ent for next term goes after engi­neer­ing and com­puter sci­ence kids in a hard­core way. Erik’s work­ing full-​time in the Bay, and still tries to come up on week­ends to meet with us and help out. Clint is busy with other orgs and things like grad­u­at­ing. And then there’s me. Lost my chops, and soon to grad­u­ate myself.

Where does that leave the website?
