i'm a humanities girl masquerading as a web designer trying to program complicated apps this isn't really what i'm made to do
maybe i just need to make a plan for once and stick with it
@kibi you can do it! Just keep breaking it down to smaller pieces until they are simple. Make each small piece self contained. Some "smart" programmers never learn this, and every little thing they touch becomes so over-engineered and complicated that they don't even understand it themselves by the time they are done.
@matthewkrauss @kibi great advice. I want to get to the Richard Stallman level of emacs glory lol :)
@kibi if I've learned *one* thing from hacker bro culture, it is that you can make up for any amount of ineptitude by repetition and duct tape
