The post introduces an AI‑powered visual programming framework that lets developers build programs incrementally by having the AI generate small code snippets and orchestrate…
The post explains how to quickly start building a simple Wiki application using Node.js: store pages as plain text files (e.g., “Main.txt”), use Bootstrap for styling, and render…
I’m building a free visual programming tool that lets non‑programmers design and run JavaScript programs by dragging “Supervisor” nodes (the actors) onto a canvas and wiring them…
When you want to drag an element (like the cat image in the example), you start by attaching a `mousedown` listener that installs a `mousemove` handler and, when the user…
The post argues that a genuine school must be honest and results‑driven, criticizes the misleading notion of “balanced” education and the spread of lies that hinder learning,…

Mephistopheles is a visual programming language built on a signal‑tree architecture that uses Web Components and a box‑and‑cable interface to let users—especially young…
Online code editors such as CodePen, JSBin and the p5.js editor provide great environments for learning and quick experiments, but they still require you to write raw JavaScript…
I attended a company “swag” event that handed out free pens and other trinkets while watching salespeople in cubicles act friendly; this sparked my interest in programming, which…
I’m a developer who’s tried everything from C to JavaScript to Svelte, and I’ve grown tired of the bloated runtimes and frameworks that keep adding layers of abstraction. In…
I started my journey in America by embracing my “inner animal” – a muscular house‑cat that inspires me to nap deeply and dream up creative ideas – and this habit of mine has…
Late‑night coding adventures are described in a single, vivid paragraph: the author recounts fixing MySQL crashes, writing PHP for large‑scale reports, and debugging Unicode path…
A post describing how to build a tree‑like data structure in JavaScript that emits simple “changed” events from tables (e.g., a people list) and folders so that a UI framework…
The post argues that all teenagers should learn programming—especially JavaScript—and highlights beginner-friendly tools such as Node‑RED, p5.js, and Electron Fiddle to provide a…
