Always Already Programming

Everyone who interacts with computers has in important ways always already been programming them.

Every time you make a folder or rename a file on your computer, the actions you take through moving your mouse and clicking on buttons, translate into text-based commands or scripts which eventually translate into binary.

Why are the common conceptions of programmer and user so divorced from each other? The distinction between programmer and user is reinforced and maintained by a tech industry that benefits from a population rendered computationally passive. If we accept and adopt the role of less agency, we then make it harder for ourselves to come into more agency.

We've unpacked the "user" a little, now let's look at the "programmer." When a programmer is writing javascript, they are using prewritten, packaged functions and variables in order to carry out the actions they want their code to do. In this way, the programmer is also the user. Why is using pre-made scripts seen

Transitland Frequency Visualization

Accompanies blog post: Transit dimensions: Transitland Schedule API

The frequency.py script:

  • Fetches all trips on a given date, between a start time and end time, inside of a bounding box
  • Calculates the number of connections between every stop
  • Uses a colormap and line width to show more frequent service
  • Outputs a GeoJSON map as output.geojson
