Transcript

I kind of want to run back and see if I can get the, the the necessary because right now I'm using the wrong thingies and I feel like it's better to leave it broken so I when I come back I'm like oh it's not it's broken I need to fix it rather than coming back and be like oh this is this is fine that's by the way one thing for all you programmers out there one thing I really like doing when I finish if I'm not done with a task I like to leave a compile error because- I find it a lot easier to get back into the code if the first thing I run into when I get back to to like working is like oh I need to I need to solve this problem right away instead of me going like okay where did I leave off what am I doing here so like- I tend to leave like very obvious compile errors, for me in the future essentially cool pretty pretty Sleek, blueprint I kind of I'm kind of digging it, it's just the belts and and I guess the power too- I wish I didn't think about that for us is a little nice little to do macro most languages do I just prefer the compiler over at to do because it's the same thing there I need to write a to-do that makes sense to me to understand what's going on whereas when I have a compile error you know you actually dive back into the problem more so all right I think that's the way you're gonna call it there y'all made a lot of progress today let's see if it can unlock some coupons because I leave to do comments as well but that's more for me to like remember like there's more to improve the system that I made or something like that but that's very different when I'm coming back to like working on something specific read like picking a new task if that makes sense
