I Like That A Razor Pages App (and Really ASP At Large) Makes Organization Effortless, But I Do Not Like
I like that a Razor pages app (and really ASP at large) makes organization effortless, but I do not like how complicated a simple project becomes because of that organization.
Yes yes I know that it’s not made for small projects and it exists for large, enterprise endeavors, but still. Just let me pass data to my pages without 3 hours of configuration.

Being able to access all of the WSL distros, the powershell, and the cmd from the same place is a super cool feature with the new windows terminal, but you know what’s even cooler? Getting to change all of the colors and fonts so easily. I’m very happy.
CSS art terrifies me to the point that I don’t even have the courage to try it. Tremendous respect to people who can make it.
I don’t want to come off negative… but you know how these things go.
It’s interesting how as I’ve progressed as a programmer the things I turn to for therapy have also progressed.
At first it was Scratch: after a span of getting frustrated by Python I would play with Scratch to at least make things that did what I wanted them to.
A little while later I wrote HTML and CSS to feel good about myself, because even when the default padding for <body> screws up your positioning there’s at least SOMETHING on the screen instead of an aggressive error message.
Now, it’s python. When Scheme or Haskell or C or Java or C# (less so C# - it’s actually pretty nice) or even Javascript are bothering me I can always turn to Python to feel better.
I wonder what it’ll be next? Maybe one day I’ll see C++ as my relief. Probably not. But maybe. Perhaps the final evolution of a programmer is when you can feel completely peaceful while writing Posix level C. Perhaps even assembly. Probably not. But perhaps.
I like Cilk++. It’s so nice to just be like “Hey I want this for loop to have some parallelism” then only have to replace the “for” with “cilk_for”.
There are only 2 options when I’m writing my commit messages:
1. “I haven’t pushed in a while so here are a LOT of changes to at least 7 files.”
2. “I hate myself because I worked for 2 hours tonight and as I write this message I realize that all I have to show for that time is a 3 line for loop.”
Well of course. Mina is an ELITE data wrangler.
Want to go on record and say that the owner of this blog did, in fact, read dracula daily. Time and time again I tried to think of fun ways to relate it to programming. Yet time and time again I couldn’t bring myself to do it.
Not because there weren’t ways I could shoehorn in a weird analogy, but because I admired the characters too much to force one. Idk it just felt disrespectful to bring code into this.
Will happily disrespect Dracula, though. Got some real cobol energy from that dinosaur. Particularly the way he drains the life out of a lot of happy, wonderful people.
So I RECOGNIZE that the .NET framework is immensely popular for a good reason. I RECOGNIZE that Visual Studio is a wonderful, amazingly built tool that can probably cut my development time in half. I also RECOGNIZE that simply MAKING A PROJECT has taken me entirely too long.
All of that being said, I RECOGNIZE that the problem definitely is with me rather than with one of the most prominent frameworks, development tools, and collection of programming languages in the industry.
That doesn’t mean I’m not still angry.
