Show Notes

Maybe if I learn Python I can automate our entire podcast to fix Juan getting names wrong constantly?In Episode #323 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: a sneak peak into my 2023 goals, why problem solving can be extremely frustrating, reasons for learning a programming language, Juan's (somewhat inaccurate) description of a chimp doco he saw, whether we would go out and live with animals in the wild, being precise with your words when learning new ones from books, my recent chat with Pete Smissen about rare house plants and an emphasis to share our awesome chapter art!As always, we hope you enjoy.

if you are just starting in coding start with some basic HTML and CSS. then I would suggest learning JavaScript. tracking bugs can be frustrating sometimes, but it is all logic in the end. let me know if you want some help getting started.

you were discussing living in nature. this is a very interesting show that is very relevant to that topic. Boyd Barry goes and lives in the wilds of Africa. https://fountain.fm/episode/10336678

I am a hobbyist when it comes to coding. If raspberry pis weren’t impossible to get, I would suggest you start there and their project page. The book Learn Python the Hard way is a good way to stay focused and learn bit by bit. once you get a feel for basics, other resources you find online for other languages will make more sense. as you learn more, you be able to solve your current ideas and explore new ones with more success. go Podcasting 🫳🎤

How many sats do I need to send to get an arm wrestle competition between the both of you live on stream? Love the show, stay handsome
The only way to do this is to name your adorbs dog "Hobby", create an Instagram, and then spend all the proceeds on therapy after learning it costs more to insure your cash cow pet than it does to insure you.
