Programming without a cookbook feels like eating spikes
tags: update, programmingIRL black magic
I just migrated to a new distro,which means what I had to set up everything again,including the way I push this website.
I use the neocities CLI because its simple and I don’t use git that much so it means that i have to do the biyearly fight against RUBY.Every time I install it I have to figure out how to make it find the PATH were the gems are,and every time my previous solution doesn’t work and I have to lose several hours figuring out how to do it this time(why is this still a problem).
then I realized that the header of the website linked to a localhost now(whyyyy)and now I have to fix that manually every time until I realize how to fix what is doing that when the site builds(fixed it with this).
Luckily I’m no programmer so I don’t have to deal with this under time pressure and on a daily basis but I swear every time I do anything with computers they just do whatever they want,sometimes I do the exact same thing and the second time i get a different result.
Another reason why the website has received updates so often is that I am trying to add some new features to it,like a comment section,so expect a lot of that until it actually works,maybe if I just try again…(Guess what,it works now,but I have to add it manually after every update)
