Hi, I'm Oliver.

If you've ever heard me talk about programming in any regard, you'll likely be aware that I simp for C#. I have never met any other language that lets me develop at the speed I'm able to. It is hands down my favourite language and I will challenge anyone who tries to change my mind.

But that doesn't mean it's perfect. C#, much like every other language, has its drawbacks. I'm going to talk about some of the features that I've stumbled across in other languages that accomplish some goal better than C#.

Dear friend

Recently I've been thinking about how all the behaviour we exhibit towards others is driven by an insatiable need to preserve oneself. This, in a word, is known as “selfishness.”

Dear friend

I made a promise to myself that this year was the year I would get my shit together in all areas of my life. I don't make new years resolutions, but this one was important for me to do. I'd like to share something that I've been in the process of accomplishing which aligns with that goal. It's something that, at first glance, seems comparatively small. But it's something that is meaningful to me and has actually helped to serve as an effective self-soothing technique.

Dear friend

I don't know if you're reading any of this. Maybe you are, I don't know.

Honestly I don't write with the intention that you, nor anyone else for that matter, read it. I write with the intention of putting my thoughts out in the open in a place I can call my own. It's why I have comments disabled on my personal posts and not my code posts – on my code posts I want people to interact, and give feedback, and correct me. But posts like this? This is me. This is my journey. The only one correcting me will be myself, and anyone who wants to talk about any of this can message me privately.
