My Various Programming Opinions

These aren't supposed to be hot takes as most of these are pretty lukewarm and things that for the majority people follow anyway, thought it would be nice to have them all in one place.

Loops vs Functional Array Methods

I like to use loops where possible with functional array methods (not sure what the best terminology for it is but in JS it's stuff like map, reduce, filter and in C# it's Where, Select etc...).

The design of these array methods is to follow very standard functional programming concepts so methods such as a .ForEach where nothing is returned from these iterations always bug me.

Web Development Roadmap (WIP)

Preface

Web Development is in a weird spot. I don't think there's been a better time to build websites and interactive web applications however it's incredibly challenging to provide guidance for people trying to get a start in web development and don't necessarily have a background in computer science.

The best way I can describe it is that the pieces are all there but it's quite difficult to organise them in a way them in a progressive manner.
