simulation, chapter 1, contingencies
|
|
|
|
chapter 1 is not a written as a text, but as a simulation.
|
|
coding contingencies is a dwarf-fortress-ish take on how different characters got to code.
|
|
so instead of writing my bio that begins like "ah, i always approached things from the other side, probably because for us* this everything is new" and then continue on how i got into coding from the arts (not a real developer!), and into codings as a job (not a real artist!), and bla bla.
|
|
|
|
but here we are doing a simulation, a software fortress, also known as computer.
|
|
(context: dwarf fortress is a roguelike game that lets you explore incredibly detailed and rich simulations) (there are funny videos about it, the most famous is a bug report about dead cats in a tavern because of simulated alcohol on their paws that they were ingesting while cleaning themselves)
|
|
|
|
so back again
|
|
chapter 1 is not written as a text, but as a simulation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
software contingencies
|
|
the simulation
|
|
|
|
first we need things to simulate:
|
|
|
|
- actors
|
|
- programming languages
|
|
- use cases
|
|
|
|
the simplest simulation
|
|
|
|
aha how do we define actors?
|
|
|
|
it reminds me of this OOO statement:
|
|
objects sink into themselves
|
|
|
|
that is an effective and graphical way to describe technical reference pages, or auto generated API specs, with nested nested nested layers of list.
|
|
|
|
to avoid that
|
|
let's define actors not for what they are but for what they do
|
|
(that is fun bc then i wrote grandma, that means functional grandma, that means not someone that has grandchildren but someone that does grandparent functions ??? ok this is not fun anymore and i am sorry)
|
|
|
|
- actors
|
|
- web designer
|
|
- interaction designer
|
|
- graphic designer
|
|
- musician
|
|
- teacher
|
|
- student
|
|
- grandma
|
|
|
|
- programming languages
|
|
- javascript
|
|
- python
|
|
- vvvv
|
|
- pure data
|
|
- haskelz
|
|
- rust
|
|
|
|
- use cases
|
|
- research
|
|
- work
|
|
- art
|
|
- fun
|
|
- activism
|
|
|
|
then we need to combine thigs from the three categories
|
|
|
|
00 web designer, rust, activism
|
|
01 teacher, haskel, work
|
|
02 grandma, rust, fun
|
|
03 interaction designer, vvvv, art
|
|
04 musician, pure data, work
|
|
05 musician, python, research
|
|
06 student, python, art
|
|
07 student, javascript, work
|
|
08 student, javascript, fun
|
|
09 graphic designer, haskel, research
|

side note
|
|
NOT is the series on theory in italian by NERO
|
|
their first pubblication was Capitalist Realism, Mark Fisher and it was a declaration of intents.
|
|
at some point every first is a declaration of intents.
|
|
but is that so also in random generated series?
