Communication.
It might sound cliché, but I’ve always wanted to help people. For most of my life, I’ve tried to seek out opportunities to help, but my biggest difficulty is figuring out how I can help. I know there are so many struggles in the world, but I feel helpless not knowing what I can do. I was volunteering last weekend at the local humane society, and I was logging my hours on their app, but I kept feeling frustrated at how their app was laid out. It made me wonder what it would be like to build a volunteering app, and so I created Voluntell.
Lately I’ve been trying my hand at writing Sinatra and some basic web applications. While it was frustrating in the beginning, I’ve really been having fun with it! Honestly, I think once you can understand the big picture and how things are all related, it makes writing the code significantly easier. So, let’s go through it and make it easier for anyone else starting out with Sinatra!
“In an extreme view, the world can be seen as only connections, nothing else. We think of a dictionary as the repository of meaning, but it defines words only in terms of other words. I liked the idea that a piece of information is really defined only by what it’s related to, and how it’s related. There really is little else to meaning.
I’m just a touch obsessed with self-improvement.
