Personal Programming Blogs Are Wonderful

Have you ever wanted to write a personal programming blog? There are lots online.

Generally you'll need to have one of the following elements:

Some memes.

A semi-obscure programming concept that is taken just so far; there's no real idea at the end what it might be used for, but if you managed to cope with it you did something difficult, so pat yourself on the back.

The syntax for a code library you've never heard of until now (but is defo amazing). It does things you'd be far better placed to code yourself, if you actually knew how to program.

An edge-case optimization you'll never use for anything practical.

A hello-world that gets you so far and then doesn't really elaborate on why you just did that, which is covered by the official documentation.

A hello-world that's probably actually trying to do something useful, but missing so many steps, or has so many platform specific steps, you're essentially going to have to piece things together using the entire internet.

Random code snippets from a freelance job you were doing.

Something about php.

Wonderful stuff.
