I have been humbled by the New York Times this week and humbled by the fact that I should’ve started project number 4 last Monday with in-class time. I have hit a number of stupid road blocks coming from the invisible structure “spaces”. I was struck multiple times this weekend by the language of errors helping me find my way back to semicolons. I was also puzzled by the density of the alerts. In my poor coding, with one keystroke had I misplaced a 9 semicolons or is tampermonkey designed to scream at me when the mistake could cause failure of the who system. I’m interested in learning how these tools themselves were developed and how they were designed to interact with the rest of the web. I am also thankful for the alert structure and would like to use this for a future project dealing with news articles and acts of neoliberalism. or even google searches that benefit neo-liberal economic model companies. Lastly: how does the language of coding translate to other languages? How were these nouns selected?
