Hello, world

Every programmer’s first program prints hello, world. So does this blog.

I’m a final-year BTech student, and I build a lot of things that never get written down. The decisions, the dead ends, the 2 a.m. bug that turned out to be a missing semicolon: all of it disappears once the project works. This blog is where I stop letting that happen.

What to expect

• Build logs for my projects: what I built, how, and what I’d change
• Bug postmortems: the nasty ones, and how I found them
• Learning notes: right now that means moving from Python to Java

A small taste

Since I’m switching languages, here’s the same program in both:

print("hello, world")

public class Hello {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("hello, world");
    }
}

One line versus five. More on that in a later post.

Tip: use the Posts tab at the top to see everything I have written.

See you in the next one.
