For the Wilmette Institute's certificate redesign I decided to try out Figma and see how quickly I could jump in to it for this short project.

#What is a UUID?

UUID stands for Universally Unique Identifier. Usually it will be a string that is programmatically generated and thoroughly random. There are standards and measurements as to how random and how unique a string will be.

At what point will a given ID repeat itself? Hopefully never in your app. 😆

Meet Ferris, the unnoficial mascot of the Rust language.

Today I began my study of Rust, a systems programming language that grabbed my attention, started by Graydon Hoare and others at Mozilla.

Here are some of my initial thoughts, favorite resources to date, and my first program!

Since I began studying software I have had more and more questions about my phone. This began with initially when I discovered that the label on a button and its functionality had no inherent connection. More questions arose when I set up a pihole for my home internet. All day long the pihole blocked network requests from the iphones in the home, even when no one was using them.

#To the folks who worked on the Docusaurus project,

I love working with it. Well done. The project lists some of its goals as being easy to use, customizable, and easily maintained. From my own perspective it does a great job with all three, and I readily recommend it to anyone looking to quickstart a static project.

There are two front-end frameworks for building modern web applications which stand out to me the most. These are Preact and Svelte, and they are both appealing for the same reason, and yet different and almost polar in a way.

I remember the moment very clearly. I was studying through javascript, my first time coming into contact with data structures, functions, objects and arrays. In one of my journeys into stackoverflow I came accross the html mailto property.
