Everyday Scripting
Published in

I recently realized that I write code more often than I realize. Aside from writing JavaScript in my editor, I often:
- Type key combinations in VIM
- Type BASH into the terminal
- Use Regular Expression searches in various tools
- Use tools CLI tools like
awk
orsed
orperl
, which each come with their own scripting language.
And, depending on how much I squint my eyes and draw analogies to other activities, many activities feel like coding.
Thanks to my math degree, I know that when two things share attributes, I can use what I know about one thing to reason about the other thing.
Just an idea to let marinate for a while.
