- # Telephone Boards
-
- theres a lot of weirdos in this world, me included.
-
- for some reason people think its, well, weird to be a weirdo, and they might be right.
-
- but its something thats pretty useful, and heres why.
-
- ## prog soykaf
-
- anyone whos actually reading this is probably no stranger to programming, and therefore knows about the
-
- ***hundreds of thousands of millions of different ways to program***
-
- concept space is infinite, and programming is unbridled choice of abstraction, given human readable form (unless you program in APL)
-
- any, single, thing, that you can program, you can translate into another form and use that instead, you can repeat this as much as you want until you have an ever-moving lovecraftian blob of code.
-
- and thats the beauty of programming.
-
- ## minds eye
-
- whatevers in your minds eye dictates how you do it.
-
- you think about how this function works, and you say to the soul thats hearing your thoughts "its a bit like a phone board, like the old timey ones with the patch leads" and all of a sudden the entire programs architecture is telephone patch lead inspired.

-
- i want to look at a program like you would an art piece, like you would an arthouse movie, and think
-
- > i wonder what was going through their head in order to influence this
-
- i want to redo older programs in different "styles" just to see how they would differ.
-
- i want to find the weirdest way i can do something, just in case we learn something from it
-
- ~~i want it to be socially acceptable to use cool anime profile pictures on linkedin~~
-
- and most importantly...
-
- `i just want my code to work :wq`
