+00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:11.239 +in addition to being a viewer. + +00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:13.879 +EmacsConf is like Christmas to me, + +00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:18.159 +and I'm so excited when it comes around every year. + +00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:21.119 +Today, my talk is on a programming methodology + +00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:23.999 +that I've created, discovered, stumbled upon. + +00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:26.439 +I call it "Bookclub Tapas." + +00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:27.759 +Before we get into that, + +00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:29.679 +let me introduce myself. + +NOTE Hi, I'm Maddie! + +00:00:29.680 --> 00:00:32.119 +My name is Maddie Sullivan, + +00:00:32.120 --> 00:00:34.239 +and my pronouns are she/her. + +00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:36.719 +I go by the handle ElephantErgonomics, + +00:00:36.720 --> 00:00:41.119 +which is shortened down to ElephantErgo in the IRC. + +00:00:41.120 --> 00:00:43.079 +You can reach out to me after the talk + +00:00:43.080 --> 00:00:44.959 +for questions, comments, + +00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:47.759 +or just to say hello by reaching out + +00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:56.959 +to hello@ElephantErgonomics.com. + +00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.039 +So this software development strategy I found, + +00:01:00.040 --> 00:01:03.839 +it's inspired by literate programming and Agile. + +NOTE Bookclub Tapas + +00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.439 +So what exactly is Bookclub Tapas? + +00:01:07.440 --> 00:01:09.439 +Bookclub Tapas is a conversation + +00:01:09.440 --> 00:01:11.719 +that you have with yourself. + +00:01:11.720 --> 00:01:13.479 +It's a log and a ledger, + +00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:16.519 +of your intentions, hopes, dreams, + +00:01:16.520 --> 00:01:17.119 +and what you've learned + +00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.719 +over the course of development. + +00:01:19.720 --> 00:01:22.799 +Bookclub Tapas is an oracle + +00:01:22.800 --> 00:01:24.199 +you can consult + +00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:26.933 +about the state of, and the strategies behind, + +00:01:26.934 --> 00:01:29.559 +your development process. + +00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:33.479 +Bookclub Tapas is also a peer programming partner + +00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:37.119 +that helps you decide how to best put forward your efforts + +00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:38.439 +and how to best pull together + +00:01:38.440 --> 00:01:40.399 +what you're working on. + +00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:42.719 +Bookclub Tapas will also help you to understand + +00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:45.239 +how to tailor scope to your needs, + +00:01:45.240 --> 00:01:46.759 +and how to have the best parts + +00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:49.399 +of your program shine through clearly. + +00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:52.159 +Bookclub Tapas consists of two parts: + +00:01:52.160 --> 00:01:54.159 +Bookclub and Tapas, + +00:01:54.160 --> 00:02:00.519 +but what does that mean exactly, though? + +NOTE Bookclub + +00:02:00.520 --> 00:02:04.719 +Bookclub is a reverse literate development strategy. + +00:02:04.720 --> 00:02:07.479 +Bookclub is a time for you to write, + +00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:08.959 +and then read and reflect. + +00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:10.719 +It's like a Bookclub, + +00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:12.559 +but it's for your program. + +00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.239 +Instead of inserting narration into your code + +00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.799 +to narrativize what you are accomplishing, + +00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:20.759 +you are instead inserting snippets of code + +00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:23.799 +into your narrative to make it come alive. + +00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.999 +So, what are we narrativizing, exactly? + +00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.439 +What sort of story are we telling? + +00:02:30.440 --> 00:02:34.319 +Bookclub is the story of you, your program, + +00:02:34.320 --> 00:02:36.559 +and how your efforts are allowing your program + +00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:40.299 +to come into the world. + +NOTE Too many hats, too many roles + +00:02:40.300 --> 00:02:42.479 +Software developers naturally have to wear + +00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:43.679 +a lot of different hats, + +00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:46.479 +and take on a lot of different roles. + +00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:48.159 +We apply ourselves into a lot + +00:02:48.160 --> 00:02:50.079 +of different contexts. + +00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:53.067 +We do research, interface architecture design, + +00:02:53.068 --> 00:02:55.519 +mathematics, philosophy. + +00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:57.679 +We take in the world around us + +00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.359 +and then build abstractions to model it. + +00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:01.799 +We translate the abstract + +00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:03.079 +into the concrete, + +00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:04.667 +and then when we're trying to teach software + +00:03:04.668 --> 00:03:05.999 +how to be "smart," + +00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:07.239 +we translate the concrete + +00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.639 +back into the abstract. + +00:03:09.640 --> 00:03:11.500 +I can't help but feel like so much of + +00:03:11.501 --> 00:03:13.759 +what makes software development difficult + +00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:14.919 +is just trying to remember + +00:03:14.920 --> 00:03:16.679 +and keep track of everything. + +00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:17.959 +We have to try and remember + +00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:21.259 +so many different implementation details. + +00:03:21.260 --> 00:03:24.159 +We have to remember how our own code works, + +00:03:24.160 --> 00:03:26.679 +how the API of our dependencies work, + +00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:29.479 +how relevant real-world constraints behave, + +00:03:29.480 --> 00:03:31.319 +what the standards lay out, + +00:03:31.320 --> 00:03:34.159 +and how our data structures are laid out. + +00:03:34.160 --> 00:03:35.079 +When we're debugging, + +00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:37.519 +we simultaneously have to remember + +00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:40.239 +how our program is currently behaving, + +00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.679 +as well as how the program ought to behave + +00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:43.719 +in order to get a chance + +00:03:43.720 --> 00:03:46.039 +to reconcile that gap. + +00:03:46.040 --> 00:03:47.999 +It's honestly all way too much. + +00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.239 +We need a ledger of what we're actually doing + +00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:55.799 +in order to stay sane. + +NOTE Narrativiation + +00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:57.333 +I think a really effective way to + +00:03:57.334 --> 00:03:59.599 +make sense of things that are complex and important + +00:03:59.600 --> 00:04:01.039 +is to narrativize them, + +00:04:01.040 --> 00:04:02.839 +to turn them into stories. + +00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:06.039 +This is a strategy that humans have been using for a long time. + +00:04:06.040 --> 00:04:08.559 +Mnemonic devices, metaphors, + +00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:09.759 +and drawing parallels + +00:04:09.760 --> 00:04:12.199 +are all different ways of doing just this. + +00:04:12.200 --> 00:04:14.799 +Telling stories helps us to understand + +00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:16.359 +things that are big and complex + +00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:19.119 +by grounding them in our own experience + +00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:23.979 +and making it fit into our scale. + +00:04:23.980 --> 00:04:25.799 +So because the way that everyone + +00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:26.919 +naturally tells stories + +00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:28.239 +is going to be a little different, + +00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:30.067 +because the details that strike us + +00:04:30.068 --> 00:04:32.119 +as important and worth focusing on + +00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.239 +are going to be different for different people, + +00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:35.639 +I'm not going to say + +00:04:35.640 --> 00:04:36.799 +that there are hard and fast rules + +00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:39.359 +about how Bookclub "should work," + +00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:41.133 +because how it "should work" + +00:04:41.134 --> 00:04:43.919 +is however it best fits your needs. + +00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:45.879 +Different people and different projects + +00:04:45.880 --> 00:04:47.559 +have different backgrounds and mindsets. + +00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:49.633 +And I don't think it's my place to say + +00:04:49.634 --> 00:04:51.879 +what strategy is correct as a universal law. + +00:04:51.880 --> 00:04:54.719 +You know, because Bookclub Tapas is, after all, + +00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:57.099 +just something I've sort of stumbled into. + +00:04:57.100 --> 00:05:00.039 +Bookclub is intrinsically ad-hoc. + +00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.159 +My providing a prescription of strategy + +00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.839 +is basically going to begin and end with the idea + +00:05:04.840 --> 00:05:07.519 +that you write a reverse-literate document + +00:05:07.520 --> 00:05:08.799 +that illustrates how you've gone + +00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.919 +about writing your program. + +00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.519 +All of that being said, + +00:05:14.520 --> 00:05:16.319 +I'm going to talk about + +00:05:16.320 --> 00:05:18.439 +how I've laid out my book club files + +00:05:18.440 --> 00:05:20.399 +and why I think this is a solid place + +00:05:20.400 --> 00:05:24.779 +from which to get started. + +NOTE My starter kit - My stock, off the shelf suggestions + +00:05:24.780 --> 00:05:27.839 +So my stock off-the-shelf suggestions + +00:05:27.840 --> 00:05:29.079 +for just getting started + +00:05:29.080 --> 00:05:32.960 +is to have sections for: our overarching goal, + +00:05:32.961 --> 00:05:35.059 +our development goals, + +00:05:35.060 --> 00:05:40.699 +a place for scratch work, a test suite, research, + +00:05:40.700 --> 00:05:42.467 +and then finally sections for variables, + +00:05:42.468 --> 00:05:47.659 +functions, and macros. + +NOTE Now what? + +00:05:47.660 --> 00:05:49.999 +So we have our starter kit sections. + +00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:51.959 +How do we go about using them? + +00:05:51.960 --> 00:05:53.639 +How do we get started? + +00:05:53.640 --> 00:05:55.319 +Well, we write them, you know, + +00:05:55.320 --> 00:05:56.439 +out in our org document, + +00:05:56.440 --> 00:05:58.979 +but then what do we do? + +NOTE Our overarching goal + +00:05:58.980 --> 00:06:01.599 +We start by writing what we know. + +00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.219 +We have a spark, a vision. + +00:06:04.220 --> 00:06:05.839 +We had the beginning of an idea + +00:06:05.840 --> 00:06:08.079 +of what we wanted our program to do. + +00:06:08.080 --> 00:06:09.839 +Alternatively, maybe we had + +00:06:09.840 --> 00:06:10.879 +a client lay our goals out. + +00:06:10.880 --> 00:06:13.299 +Either way, we have some idea + +00:06:13.300 --> 00:06:15.439 +of how we want our program to be shaped. + +00:06:15.440 --> 00:06:18.339 +Let's start by writing that down. + +00:06:18.340 --> 00:06:19.439 +What are we trying to do? + +00:06:19.440 --> 00:06:23.459 +What is our goal? + +NOTE Our development focuses + +00:06:23.460 --> 00:06:26.279 +After that, we're probably wondering to ourselves, + +00:06:26.280 --> 00:06:27.759 +"Okay, we have our goal, + +00:06:27.760 --> 00:06:30.079 +but how do we get there?" + +00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:31.359 +That's when we start writing + +00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:33.359 +our development focuses. + +00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.159 +If we have bursts of intuition + +00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:36.919 +about what functions to write, + +00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:39.799 +questions that we want to answer through research, + +00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:43.339 +we start enumerating those every time they hit us. + +00:06:43.340 --> 00:06:44.559 +Our goal is to write them + +00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:46.199 +all down in a checklist + +00:06:46.200 --> 00:06:48.159 +in order to turn them from daydreams + +00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:50.479 +into courses of action. + +00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:52.439 +If we aren't having development focuses + +00:06:52.440 --> 00:06:54.799 +hit us right away, that's okay. + +00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:57.279 +If we just stare at the goal for long enough, + +00:06:57.280 --> 00:06:58.319 +I think it's inevitable + +00:06:58.320 --> 00:06:59.559 +that the muse will speak, + +00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:00.879 +and we'll get a clear lead + +00:07:00.880 --> 00:07:05.119 +on a path forward. + +NOTE The rest of the headings + +00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.219 +So now what? + +00:07:07.220 --> 00:07:09.899 +Now that we have our development focuses, + +00:07:09.900 --> 00:07:11.759 +we want to go ahead and create + +00:07:11.760 --> 00:07:13.439 +the rest of the headings for ourselves + +00:07:13.440 --> 00:07:15.539 +so we can act upon them. + +00:07:15.540 --> 00:07:17.239 +We go ahead and write the rest + +00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:19.419 +of the file's structure ad-hoc + +00:07:19.420 --> 00:07:22.339 +in a way that will serve our needs for now. + +00:07:22.340 --> 00:07:24.079 +If it's not fitting us well later on, + +00:07:24.080 --> 00:07:25.279 +we can just go ahead and change it. + +00:07:25.280 --> 00:07:26.239 +There's no pressure. + +00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:27.719 +That's the beauty of having this + +00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:30.099 +all be in a plain Org document. + +00:07:30.100 --> 00:07:32.079 +If we're doing something consistently, + +00:07:32.080 --> 00:07:35.059 +we probably want to have a heading for it. + +00:07:35.060 --> 00:07:36.439 +We'll go ahead and create homes + +00:07:36.440 --> 00:07:38.919 +for our variables, our functions, our macros. + +00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.479 +We'll want to create a spot for scratch work + +00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:43.319 +to sort of like stretch our legs + +00:07:43.320 --> 00:07:45.399 +and lament in a stream-of-consciousness + +00:07:45.400 --> 00:07:47.079 +sort of format about how + +00:07:47.080 --> 00:07:50.159 +a particular piece of design ought to work. + +00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:52.359 +Basically, any time we wear a different "hat" + +00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:55.079 +or we take on a different "role" as a developer, + +00:07:55.080 --> 00:07:58.839 +it's worth considering creating a category for it. + +00:07:58.840 --> 00:08:00.719 +The best way for us to figure out + +00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:01.839 +what headings to fill in, + +00:08:01.840 --> 00:08:03.359 +and how to fill them in, + +00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.919 +is to just go ahead and act upon our development goals. + +00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:09.959 +If we have a question we want to answer, + +00:08:09.960 --> 00:08:12.519 +we'll want to create a Research heading + +00:08:12.520 --> 00:08:14.759 +so we can go ahead and have a spot + +00:08:14.760 --> 00:08:17.419 +for scratch-work for reasoning things out. + +00:08:17.420 --> 00:08:18.919 +If we want to write the first draft + +00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:20.679 +of a function we want, + +00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:22.799 +We'll want to create a heading for functions + +00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:37.979 +and then a sub-heading for that function in particular. + +NOTE Conversationality + +00:08:37.980 --> 00:08:40.419 +So now that we've filled in our sections, + +00:08:40.420 --> 00:08:42.379 +what do we do now? + +00:08:42.380 --> 00:08:43.679 +Our idea for a program + +00:08:43.680 --> 00:08:44.879 +has been turned into a story, + +00:08:44.880 --> 00:08:47.619 +but what does that actually get us? + +00:08:47.620 --> 00:08:50.839 +To me, a lot of what's exciting about Bookclub + +00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:52.919 +is that novelization goes in + +00:08:52.920 --> 00:08:56.059 +and a peer programming partner comes out. + +00:08:56.060 --> 00:08:58.359 +As we loop through reviewing our document, + +00:08:58.360 --> 00:08:59.799 +as we scan it up and down, + +00:08:59.800 --> 00:09:02.000 +we're able to engage in conversationality + +00:09:02.001 --> 00:09:04.999 +with our past self because of how verbose + +00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:06.499 +we've been in our notes. + +00:09:06.500 --> 00:09:08.439 +We can ask our past self questions, + +00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:09.879 +and get back answers. + +00:09:09.880 --> 00:09:11.979 +We've turned our past self + +00:09:11.980 --> 00:09:14.579 +into a peer programming partner. + +00:09:14.580 --> 00:09:16.359 +If we're wondering what to do next, + +00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:18.319 +we can check our Development Focuses. + +00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:20.759 +If we're wondering how something works, + +00:09:20.760 --> 00:09:22.199 +we can read documentation + +00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.719 +embedded in our function drafts, + +00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:26.919 +or we can read the outcomes of tests + +00:09:26.920 --> 00:09:28.659 +that we've performed in our research. + +00:09:28.660 --> 00:09:33.019 +We can ask ourselves questions and get answers. + +00:09:33.020 --> 00:09:34.439 +Some of what's most exciting + +00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:35.919 +about peer programming to me + +00:09:35.920 --> 00:09:38.079 +is having fresh perspective + +00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:41.079 +and alternate context. + +00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:42.679 +We have a fresh set of eyes + +00:09:42.680 --> 00:09:44.439 +on the program that aren't our own, + +00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:47.479 +and with that set of eyes + +00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:50.199 +comes someone else to share the burden + +00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.539 +of trying to remember everything. + +00:09:52.540 --> 00:09:54.839 +With Bookclub, instead of having + +00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:57.559 +a peer programmer that exists in physical space, + +00:09:57.560 --> 00:10:00.719 +we have one that's, to get all sci-fi for a moment, + +00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.039 +reaching forward towards us + +00:10:03.040 --> 00:10:04.999 +from backward in time. + +00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:06.799 +We're asynchronously working + +00:10:06.800 --> 00:10:08.119 +with our past selves + +00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:10.439 +as an equal-role collaborative + +00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:12.879 +partner in development. + +00:10:12.880 --> 00:10:15.039 +We have their perspective, + +00:10:15.040 --> 00:10:17.799 +their fresh memories of the code as it was written, + +00:10:17.800 --> 00:10:20.959 +and their focus on what was worth worrying about + +00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:22.319 +at a different point in time. + +00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:24.959 +We can ask them questions and get answers. + +00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:26.319 +We can ask them questions like, + +00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:28.199 +well, "What do I do now?" + +00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:30.419 +"How does this data structure work?" + +00:10:30.420 --> 00:10:33.679 +"What types does this third-party library take?" + +00:10:33.680 --> 00:10:35.119 +By asking these questions, + +00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:36.319 +I can even stay fresh + +00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:37.479 +on development progress + +00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:40.099 +that I last touched months ago. + +00:10:40.100 --> 00:10:42.799 +It's really easy to duplicate work, + +00:10:42.800 --> 00:10:44.719 +forget how things work, + +00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:46.159 +lose track of priorities. + +00:10:46.160 --> 00:10:48.279 +Bookclub helps keep us focused, + +00:10:48.280 --> 00:10:49.839 +it keeps us accountable, + +00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:55.479 +it even keeps us company. + +NOTE Ad-hoc means lesricsf tion + +00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:58.359 +One of the most immediately useful things about Bookclub, + +00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:00.867 +in my opinion, is that we immediately have + +00:11:00.868 --> 00:11:02.359 +a list of actionable items. + +00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:04.319 +Every time I have a little pain point, + +00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:06.639 +I go ahead and write it down, + +00:11:06.640 --> 00:11:09.079 +and I write down all of the things + +00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:11.579 +that would be nice to have done someday. + +00:11:11.580 --> 00:11:13.199 +So you might be wondering, + +00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:14.679 +and it's fair to wonder this, + +00:11:14.680 --> 00:11:17.479 +isn't this effectively just the GitHub issue model? + +00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:19.279 +We're listing out bug requests, + +00:11:19.280 --> 00:11:21.239 +issue requests, feature requests. + +00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:22.519 +It's not exactly a new idea, + +00:11:22.520 --> 00:11:24.559 +and it's pretty intuitive. + +00:11:24.560 --> 00:11:26.719 +I think the important consideration here + +00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:29.999 +is that having really formalized apparatus + +00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:31.639 +for entering in our thoughts + +00:11:31.640 --> 00:11:34.419 +can be an unnecessary source of friction. + +00:11:34.420 --> 00:11:36.359 +Bug listings don't tend to be + +00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:37.839 +a great fit for daydreaming + +00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:40.939 +or verbose considerations of philosophy. + +00:11:40.940 --> 00:11:42.919 +Bug listings tend to be reserved + +00:11:42.920 --> 00:11:45.119 +for catastrophes. + +00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:47.279 +I feel like a lot of the tooling + +00:11:47.280 --> 00:11:48.199 +that we currently use + +00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:51.279 +really struggles with creating ergonomics + +00:11:51.280 --> 00:11:54.879 +that make taking frictionless notes difficult. + +00:11:54.880 --> 00:11:57.159 +We have systems where all the disparate + +00:11:57.160 --> 00:11:59.079 +parts of what we're working on + +00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:02.499 +feel really far away from each other. + +00:12:02.500 --> 00:12:04.039 +We're pushed away from engaging + +00:12:04.040 --> 00:12:05.959 +in conversations with ourselves + +00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:07.919 +as a result of how disparate + +00:12:07.920 --> 00:12:09.159 +all of our tooling feels, + +00:12:09.160 --> 00:12:10.959 +how the process of working with it + +00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:12.899 +is incongruent. + +00:12:12.900 --> 00:12:15.599 +My hope is that we can instead + +00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:16.999 +engage with a process + +00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:18.359 +that makes it really trivial + +00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:20.199 +to write impulsive journaling + +00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:21.979 +about what we're doing. + +00:12:21.980 --> 00:12:23.839 +So much of design is ultimately + +00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:25.559 +just daydreaming. + +00:12:25.560 --> 00:12:27.279 +Good ideas tend to strike us hard, + +00:12:27.280 --> 00:12:29.779 +in a momentary flash of inspiration, + +00:12:29.780 --> 00:12:32.599 +and then they fade just as quickly. + +00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:35.239 +Anyone who's had an idea all at once + +00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:36.579 +in the middle of the night + +00:12:36.580 --> 00:12:38.159 +knows that they're going to have to choose + +00:12:38.160 --> 00:12:40.619 +between either committing to writing it down + +00:12:40.620 --> 00:12:41.959 +or accept that by morning + +00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:44.259 +they'll have lost it. + +00:12:44.260 --> 00:12:45.359 +If we're not writing + +00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:46.759 +what strikes us as important + +00:12:46.760 --> 00:12:48.639 +at the same moment that it's happening, + +00:12:48.640 --> 00:12:50.379 +we're going to lose it. + +00:12:50.380 --> 00:12:52.639 +It's not realistic to expect ourselves + +00:12:52.640 --> 00:12:54.519 +to hold onto our ideas forever + +00:12:54.520 --> 00:12:56.359 +with the same precision + +00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:01.919 +as when we were first inspired. + +NOTE Gratis documentation + +00:13:01.920 --> 00:13:11.319 +Okay. I'm gonna call you out real quick. + +00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:13.759 +If I ask all of you "Who wants to read + +00:13:13.760 --> 00:13:15.959 +really excellent documentation?" + +00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:17.079 +I imagine that everyone here + +00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:18.379 +is raising their hand. + +00:13:18.380 --> 00:13:20.759 +We want code to make sense + +00:13:20.760 --> 00:13:21.959 +and we want to know what + +00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:24.239 +the original developer had in mind. + +00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:26.399 +Even the original developer themselves + +00:13:26.400 --> 00:13:28.579 +would want this just for their own sake. + +00:13:28.580 --> 00:13:30.999 +I know that for me, I can even feel + +00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:32.319 +things becoming less fresh + +00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:33.759 +just after a couple months away + +00:13:33.760 --> 00:13:35.539 +from my codebase. + +00:13:35.540 --> 00:13:38.619 +And that was me from a couple months ago. + +00:13:38.620 --> 00:13:42.359 +They're not around anymore. + +00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:45.359 +Now, here's the rough part. + +00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:48.579 +Here's what I'm really gonna call you all out. + +00:13:48.580 --> 00:13:51.599 +"Who wants to write really excellent documentation?" + +00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:53.719 +Now, I don't know what's happening on your end, + +00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:55.559 +but I'm imagining crickets, + +00:13:55.560 --> 00:13:57.039 +silence, tumbleweeds + +00:13:57.040 --> 00:13:59.139 +blowing through to the horizon. + +00:13:59.140 --> 00:14:00.999 +It's a tough ask. + +00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.559 +It's not generally all that rewarding. + +00:14:03.560 --> 00:14:06.299 +If you're writing docs from scratch, + +00:14:06.300 --> 00:14:07.999 +a lot of it involves relearning + +00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:10.679 +the intentions behind crusty old code. + +00:14:10.680 --> 00:14:13.359 +For me, it hurts to not spend that same time + +00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:16.119 +implementing bug fixes and new features. + +00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:17.599 +It just doesn't feel like + +00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:19.619 +a great use of my time. + +00:14:19.620 --> 00:14:22.279 +Even if it's strictly for my own codebase + +00:14:22.280 --> 00:14:25.039 +for my own use, it's hard to sit down and do it + +00:14:25.040 --> 00:14:28.779 +even when I know how much I would benefit from it. + +00:14:28.780 --> 00:14:31.359 +My thinking is that when you write rough, + +00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:34.039 +piecewise daydreaming as you go, + +00:14:34.040 --> 00:14:36.039 +it's so much easier to not only + +00:14:36.040 --> 00:14:38.759 +begin writing documentation early in your process, + +00:14:38.760 --> 00:14:42.839 +but also to stay consistent about not slouching into + +00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:48.439 +an accumulation of a backlog. + +NOTE Keeping the thread of your intention + +00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:51.319 +So not only does writing documentation early + +00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:54.599 +make us more likely to keep that habit going, + +00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:56.399 +but it also makes the documentation + +00:14:56.400 --> 00:14:59.499 +we do write way more robust. + +00:14:59.500 --> 00:15:01.239 +When fiction meets reality + +00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:04.119 +and we start writing out code + +00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:06.119 +that is constrained by the real world + +00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:08.859 +and not just our imagination, + +00:15:08.860 --> 00:15:11.759 +we learn that things we assumed about our design + +00:15:11.760 --> 00:15:14.839 +aren't going to work out in practice. + +00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:16.879 +Because of this, we can enter + +00:15:16.880 --> 00:15:18.559 +into a sort of situation + +00:15:18.560 --> 00:15:21.139 +akin to boiling a frog in a pot of water. + +00:15:21.140 --> 00:15:23.079 +Frogs don't notice that they're being boiled + +00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:26.919 +if the water is only heated gradually enough. + +00:15:26.920 --> 00:15:31.099 +We decide to adjust our design only a little bit + +00:15:31.100 --> 00:15:33.919 +without changing the documentation right away. + +00:15:33.920 --> 00:15:34.999 +Doing that once is fine, + +00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:36.559 +but I don't believe for a second + +00:15:36.560 --> 00:15:38.559 +that we're only going to do it once. + +00:15:38.560 --> 00:15:39.919 +We can find ourselves surprised + +00:15:39.920 --> 00:15:41.659 +that as time goes on, + +00:15:41.660 --> 00:15:43.919 +our code looks nothing like our spec, + +00:15:43.920 --> 00:15:45.879 +and we lose the thread of what our code + +00:15:45.880 --> 00:15:48.699 +was supposed to do in the first place. + +00:15:48.700 --> 00:15:52.979 +When we stake our intentions clearly and early, + +00:15:52.980 --> 00:15:54.979 +you ground yourself in them. + +00:15:54.980 --> 00:15:58.439 +You reduce the risk of straying from them. + +00:15:58.440 --> 00:15:59.879 +You have clear reference + +00:15:59.880 --> 00:16:01.919 +for what you want your code to do, + +00:16:01.920 --> 00:16:03.319 +and you reduce the risk + +00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:05.919 +of having its purpose shift over time. + +00:16:05.920 --> 00:16:07.399 +When we take turns alternating + +00:16:07.400 --> 00:16:09.239 +between writing code and documentation + +00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:11.199 +rather than acting, you know, + +00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:14.319 +as having it all as one step, + +00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:16.479 +we risk taking turns just moving + +00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:21.499 +our goalpost back and forth. + +NOTE Bookclub is becoming too much + +00:16:21.500 --> 00:16:24.239 +So we've seen how our Bookclub files get us + +00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:25.839 +all sorts of amazing features + +00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:27.619 +and practical benefits. + +00:16:27.620 --> 00:16:29.599 +But we might be starting to notice a pattern + +00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:31.839 +as we continue to engage in conversation + +00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:33.839 +and work with our document + +00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:35.919 +and watch it grow in size. + +00:16:35.920 --> 00:16:38.819 +We originally created our Bookclub file + +00:16:38.820 --> 00:16:40.700 +with the hope to reduce + +00:16:40.701 --> 00:16:42.119 +what we would need to keep track of + +00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:44.879 +and to reduce our level of overwhelm. + +00:16:44.880 --> 00:16:48.919 +We might find that as our Bookclub file grows, + +00:16:48.920 --> 00:16:51.159 +we're encountering more detail + +00:16:51.160 --> 00:16:53.319 +than we can practically parse, manage, + +00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:55.759 +and decipher intention from. + +00:16:55.760 --> 00:16:57.719 +It can be easy to enter into a situation + +00:16:57.720 --> 00:16:59.839 +where we're drowning in the breadth of our notes, + +00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:03.399 +and in doing so we've recreated the same problem + +00:17:03.400 --> 00:17:05.419 +we originally set out to solve. + +00:17:05.420 --> 00:17:08.759 +Writing out every single detail helps us a lot + +00:17:08.760 --> 00:17:11.079 +to make sense of things at first, + +00:17:11.080 --> 00:17:13.519 +but then after a while, we can encounter + +00:17:13.520 --> 00:17:15.879 +a signal-to-noise problem + +00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:19.399 +when we try to make meaning from too many details. + +00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:25.239 +This is where tapas come in. + +NOTE Introducing Tapas + +00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:29.199 +So tapas in Spanish cuisine are appetizers. + +00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:31.559 +What's notable about tapas + +00:17:31.560 --> 00:17:33.839 +is that you can bring a bunch of them together + +00:17:33.840 --> 00:17:35.299 +to make a full meal. + +00:17:35.300 --> 00:17:38.379 +In the context of Bookclub Tapas, + +00:17:38.380 --> 00:17:40.339 +they serve a similar role. + +00:17:40.340 --> 00:17:42.719 +The idea is that we write flavorful libraries + +00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:45.419 +that together form a full program. + +00:17:45.420 --> 00:17:47.059 +We have a full program, + +00:17:47.060 --> 00:17:49.839 +but it's made from discrete modules. + +00:17:49.840 --> 00:17:52.719 +The idea behind tapas is that instead of creating + +00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:55.859 +one perfect, "solves everything" codebase, + +00:17:55.860 --> 00:17:57.319 +we want to create a whole bunch + +00:17:57.320 --> 00:17:59.079 +of separate libraries + +00:17:59.080 --> 00:18:02.919 +that themselves nail a specific subdomain. + +00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:04.119 +And once these libraries + +00:18:04.120 --> 00:18:05.179 +are all brought together, + +00:18:05.180 --> 00:18:08.019 +they form the whole that we're seeking. + +00:18:08.020 --> 00:18:10.079 +Once our Bookclub file becomes big enough + +00:18:10.080 --> 00:18:12.239 +such that we feel like our scope can be split + +00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:14.239 +into multiple libraries, + +00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:16.079 +that's when we want to take the opportunity + +00:18:16.080 --> 00:18:22.839 +to split our program up into parts, into Tapas. + +NOTE What are Tapas, what are Tapas not? + +00:18:22.840 --> 00:18:25.159 +So, maybe one of the best ways + +00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:27.039 +to understand what makes a good Tapa + +00:18:27.040 --> 00:18:30.599 +is to first examine what does not make a good Tapa. + +00:18:30.600 --> 00:18:32.159 +The single most important thing + +00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:33.559 +to understand about Tapas + +00:18:33.560 --> 00:18:37.139 +is that they themselves are substantial. + +00:18:37.140 --> 00:18:38.879 +There's a lot of back and forth + +00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:40.679 +on the idea of micro-libraries, + +00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:42.879 +their merits, their dangers, + +00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:45.419 +and when and where they kind of work best. + +00:18:45.420 --> 00:18:46.359 +I think the distinction + +00:18:46.360 --> 00:18:47.599 +that I would like to draw + +00:18:47.600 --> 00:18:50.719 +is that I think that tapas belong in the larger end + +00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:53.759 +of scale and complexity for microlibraries + +00:18:53.760 --> 00:18:56.159 +rather than the smaller end. + +00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:58.079 +I think particularly small helpers + +00:18:58.080 --> 00:19:00.299 +like NPM's is-odd + +00:19:00.300 --> 00:19:01.919 +are a good example of something + +00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:05.479 +I think does not constitute a good Tapa. + +00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:08.799 +Meanwhile, I think Python's Requests library + +00:19:08.800 --> 00:19:11.799 +is a really good example of a Tapa. + +00:19:11.800 --> 00:19:15.319 +I believe Requests only does HTTP connections, + +00:19:15.320 --> 00:19:18.319 +but I feel like that's not so simple and straightforward + +00:19:18.320 --> 00:19:20.239 +that you can just go ahead and implement it + +00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:23.199 +on your own real quick. + +00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:24.639 +A real danger of creating + +00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:27.219 +helper libraries that are too small + +00:19:27.220 --> 00:19:31.159 +is that we don't remove abstraction + +00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:33.319 +nearly as much as we postpone it. + +00:19:33.320 --> 00:19:35.819 +If our libraries are small, + +00:19:35.820 --> 00:19:38.899 +but the glue code that binds them is large, + +00:19:38.900 --> 00:19:40.079 +we haven't done anything + +00:19:40.080 --> 00:19:41.519 +to reduce complexity + +00:19:41.520 --> 00:19:44.179 +or employ abstraction in a meaningful way. + +00:19:44.180 --> 00:19:47.479 +If all of the complexity exists in our glue code, + +00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:49.799 +we've simply replaced our functions + +00:19:49.800 --> 00:19:52.519 +with libraries of the same size and purpose. + +00:19:52.520 --> 00:19:54.559 +Our codebase is still monolithic + +00:19:54.560 --> 00:19:58.039 +instead of having meaningfully divided scope. + +00:19:58.040 --> 00:19:59.559 +I think that a good Tapa + +00:19:59.560 --> 00:20:01.479 +ought to feel like augmentations + +00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:03.979 +or extensions to the standard library. + +00:20:03.980 --> 00:20:05.199 +You know, maybe something kind of + +00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:08.379 +akin to Scheme's SRFI system. + +00:20:08.380 --> 00:20:10.599 +I think that the goal of good Tapas + +00:20:10.600 --> 00:20:13.919 +is not to solve a particular problem, + +00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:18.519 +but instead to solve a particular class of problem. + +00:20:18.520 --> 00:20:20.159 +The goal of a well-written Tapa + +00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:22.999 +is to solve needing to do hard work in general + +00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:25.559 +rather than solving what can only really be + +00:20:25.560 --> 00:20:26.679 +an individual need + +00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:28.439 +of an individual program. + +00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:30.359 +I feel like Tapas are most helpful + +00:20:30.360 --> 00:20:32.119 +when we instead seek to solve + +00:20:32.120 --> 00:20:35.319 +a larger overarching problem + +00:20:35.320 --> 00:20:39.439 +that intersects with the problem space of our code base. + +00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:42.239 +When we have a handful of Tapas + +00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:46.179 +that are roughly the same size and scale, + +00:20:46.180 --> 00:20:48.119 +the glue code that marries them + +00:20:48.120 --> 00:20:52.179 +is also roughly the same size and scale. + +00:20:52.180 --> 00:20:55.639 +As a heuristic, I try to aim for any function + +00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:57.839 +being approximately 3 calls in length, + +00:20:57.840 --> 00:21:00.839 +and then any Tapa being between 6 + +00:21:00.840 --> 00:21:06.399 +and 12 functions in length. + +00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:08.039 +The number of Tapas themselves + +00:21:08.040 --> 00:21:09.639 +can be as many or as few as you need, + +00:21:09.640 --> 00:21:12.879 +but then your Tapas can split into + +00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:16.459 +their own separate Tapas as needed. + +00:21:16.460 --> 00:21:18.799 +My hope is that the collection of our Tapas, + +00:21:18.800 --> 00:21:20.599 +especially as we create + +00:21:20.600 --> 00:21:22.319 +dependency chains among them, + +00:21:22.320 --> 00:21:25.039 +is that each next Tapa is a trivial case + +00:21:25.040 --> 00:21:27.099 +of the one prerequisite to it. + +00:21:27.100 --> 00:21:28.879 +Every Tapa is a meaningful, + +00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:31.059 +human-readable abstraction + +00:21:31.060 --> 00:21:33.439 +that enables us to feel confident about our tooling + +00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:35.639 +without drowning in detail. + +00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:38.499 +The whole stack can be understood by humans, + +00:21:38.500 --> 00:21:40.159 +but we only have to focus on + +00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:41.879 +any one piece of it at a time, + +00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:47.419 +rather than focusing on the entire stack all at once. + +00:21:47.420 --> 00:21:48.879 +We can practically achieve + +00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:51.259 +a huge final product, + +00:21:51.260 --> 00:21:52.759 +but each individual step + +00:21:52.760 --> 00:21:54.279 +in working towards that goal + +00:21:54.280 --> 00:21:56.039 +is still at a human scale. + +00:21:56.040 --> 00:22:02.179 +One thing I want to make sure to point out, + +00:22:02.180 --> 00:22:03.279 +one thing I want to make sure + +00:22:03.280 --> 00:22:05.179 +to point out explicitly, real quick, + +00:22:05.180 --> 00:22:06.279 +is that having access + +00:22:06.280 --> 00:22:07.839 +to a hygienic macro system, + +00:22:07.840 --> 00:22:10.259 +like the ones that we have in Lisps, + +00:22:10.260 --> 00:22:11.999 +makes for an amazing experience + +00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:13.319 +for creating Tapas. + +00:22:13.320 --> 00:22:15.279 +The types of abstractions that we can do + +00:22:15.280 --> 00:22:17.039 +by modifying syntax at compile time + +00:22:17.040 --> 00:22:18.439 +makes for incredibly intuitive + +00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:25.179 +and ergonomic tooling. + +NOTE Tapas are maybe best illustrated by example + +00:22:25.180 --> 00:22:27.279 +So we've talked quite a bit about + +00:22:27.280 --> 00:22:28.919 +what I think makes a Tapa good, + +00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:30.759 +but I think maybe the best way + +00:22:30.760 --> 00:22:32.679 +to understand the concept + +00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:35.599 +is to have a look at the whole workflow in practice. + +00:22:35.600 --> 00:22:37.479 +I've been working on this, currently + +00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:40.219 +unnamed, Elisp program recently. + +00:22:40.220 --> 00:22:42.959 +It's a validator for the filetags lines + +00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:45.819 +of my Org Mode files. + +00:22:45.820 --> 00:22:49.299 +So I have Org Mode files + +00:22:49.300 --> 00:22:50.999 +under my Documents directory, + +00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:53.633 +organized in this hierarchical way, + +00:22:53.634 --> 00:22:57.039 +and the nested directories have meaningful names. + +00:22:57.040 --> 00:23:00.300 +I want the headers of my Org files to be tagged + +00:23:00.301 --> 00:23:01.800 +in accordance with the sequence + +00:23:01.801 --> 00:23:04.199 +of the names of the directories. + +00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:06.167 +I do this by having the file-tags line + +00:23:06.168 --> 00:23:06.999 +at the top of the file + +00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:09.519 +just list the path segments in order. + +00:23:09.520 --> 00:23:12.199 +If I have an Org file in the directory + +00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:16.559 +"~/Documents/foo/bar", + +00:23:16.560 --> 00:23:20.799 +the file-tags line has the tags "foo" and "bar". + +00:23:20.800 --> 00:23:23.139 +This is totally fine to do by hand, + +00:23:23.140 --> 00:23:24.919 +but I want a program + +00:23:24.920 --> 00:23:27.119 +that recursively searches through my directories + +00:23:27.120 --> 00:23:29.799 +to validate that the tags are correct + +00:23:29.800 --> 00:23:33.459 +because it's easy to drop something. + +00:23:33.460 --> 00:23:36.039 +This scale of problem is actually kind of perfect + +00:23:36.040 --> 00:23:39.959 +for demonstrating how Bookclub Tapas work in action. + +00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:40.759 +We have a problem + +00:23:40.760 --> 00:23:42.639 +that's mostly rather simple, + +00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:44.359 +but it has a lot of moving pieces. + +00:23:44.360 --> 00:23:47.799 +We want to iterate over directories recursively, + +00:23:47.800 --> 00:23:49.559 +we want to do string manipulation, + +00:23:49.560 --> 00:23:50.879 +we want to parse buffers, + +00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:52.899 +and we want to edit buffers. + +00:23:52.900 --> 00:23:55.359 +All of these tasks are simple enough on their own, + +00:23:55.360 --> 00:23:56.679 +but it's deceptively easy + +00:23:56.680 --> 00:23:58.399 +to start tripping over ourselves + +00:23:58.400 --> 00:23:59.959 +when we feel like it's necessary + +00:23:59.960 --> 00:24:03.019 +to do all of these different things in one step. + +00:24:03.020 --> 00:24:05.399 +So there are a ton of great string + +00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:06.959 +manipulation tools for Emacs, + +00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:08.079 +so that's checked off, + +00:24:08.080 --> 00:24:10.939 +that's done, taken care of. + +00:24:10.940 --> 00:24:12.119 +I'm still kind of daydreaming + +00:24:12.120 --> 00:24:14.399 +about writing a wrapper around + +00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:16.039 +some of the Emacs standard libraries + +00:24:16.040 --> 00:24:16.999 +for directory traversal, + +00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:20.179 +just to make it a little bit nicer to work with. + +00:24:20.180 --> 00:24:20.799 +But the big thing + +00:24:20.800 --> 00:24:22.519 +that really struck me as odd + +00:24:22.520 --> 00:24:25.479 +is that there doesn't seem to be a great tooling + +00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:28.239 +for destructuring Emacs buffers + +00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:29.399 +beyond just chaining together + +00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:31.379 +a bunch of editor commands. + +00:24:31.380 --> 00:24:33.959 +Emacs is so buffer-oriented, + +00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:36.439 +I feel like it really deserves a good library + +00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:38.719 +for programmatic buffer destructuring. + +00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:40.559 +I looked around for a bit, + +00:24:40.560 --> 00:24:42.799 +but I couldn't really find anything. + +00:24:42.800 --> 00:24:44.759 +So at the end of the day, + +00:24:44.760 --> 00:24:47.279 +I could definitely just grit my teeth + +00:24:47.280 --> 00:24:50.919 +and put my head down and just use tools + +00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:54.359 +that feel cumbersome to work with if I wanted to. + +00:24:54.360 --> 00:24:55.199 +I could write something + +00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:56.039 +that's "good enough" + +00:24:56.040 --> 00:24:57.759 +just for the purpose of my package + +00:24:57.760 --> 00:25:00.279 +and then hide it deep inside the code base. + +00:25:00.280 --> 00:25:03.819 +I could absolutely do that. + +00:25:03.820 --> 00:25:07.919 +But I can't help but think about how + +00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:11.099 +after I properly write the tooling I'm missing, + +00:25:11.100 --> 00:25:13.159 +I'm really going to be thanking myself + +00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:15.879 +in terms of reduced implementational complexity, + +00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:19.039 +reduced bug hunting, real reusability, + +00:25:19.040 --> 00:25:22.199 +and ultimately really just a deep sense of pride + +00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:23.719 +in knowing that I took the time + +00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:27.319 +to do something in a way that feels "right." + +00:25:27.320 --> 00:25:28.799 +This right here is the perfect time + +00:25:28.800 --> 00:25:30.239 +to split off Tapas. + +00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:32.119 +Any time that we find ourselves + +00:25:32.120 --> 00:25:34.319 +reaching for a fictional dependency, + +00:25:34.320 --> 00:25:35.439 +wishing that someone had written + +00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:37.679 +a library like this... + +00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:39.119 +We can take that opportunity + +00:25:39.120 --> 00:25:42.019 +to remember that we are "someone." + +00:25:42.020 --> 00:25:44.319 +We can write that library ourselves, + +00:25:44.320 --> 00:25:46.679 +and we deserve to write that library + +00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:52.339 +because we deserve to get to use it. + +NOTE Introducing Squint + +00:25:52.340 --> 00:25:55.279 +So I'm going to briefly show + +00:25:55.280 --> 00:25:56.899 +a Bookclub buffer + +00:25:56.900 --> 00:25:59.259 +for a program called Squint. + +00:25:59.260 --> 00:26:00.879 +It's the buffer destructure + +00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:03.199 +that I've been talking about, and it's real. + +00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:04.519 +It's a wrapper around + +00:26:04.520 --> 00:26:05.999 +Emacs's narrowing functionality + +00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:08.739 +and regular expression search. + +00:26:08.740 --> 00:26:11.799 +It's not totally done, + +00:26:11.800 --> 00:26:15.279 +and will likely see some breaking changes, + +00:26:15.280 --> 00:26:16.759 +but I really like where it is. + +00:26:16.760 --> 00:26:18.679 +I'll be posting it in its current state + +00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:22.399 +on some of the big source repository sites + +00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:23.279 +relatively soon. + +00:26:23.280 --> 00:26:24.719 +I think it has a good feature, + +00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:26.519 +which is really quite exciting. + +00:26:26.520 --> 00:26:28.999 +And it'll likely probably get split off + +00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:29.799 +into its own Tapas. + +00:26:29.800 --> 00:26:32.239 +We'll see. No matter what, + +00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:34.319 +I do recommend being on the lookout for it, + +00:26:34.320 --> 00:26:35.599 +because I think it'll be + +00:26:35.600 --> 00:26:37.479 +a really excellent demonstration + +00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:39.679 +of some of the solid ideas + +00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:43.899 +behind how to get rolling with Bookclub Tapas. + +00:26:43.900 --> 00:26:46.639 +So I have my background section + +00:26:46.640 --> 00:26:49.039 +where I'm basically just sort of laying out, + +00:26:49.040 --> 00:26:53.239 +you know, what the objective is for the program. + +00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:55.119 +I have my vision where I'm doing + +00:26:55.120 --> 00:26:58.019 +some daydreaming about, you know, + +00:26:58.020 --> 00:26:59.639 +how this all ought to work. + +00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:00.919 +I date stamped this. + +00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:02.919 +As you can see, it's from a while ago, + +00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:05.599 +but I still have the full context of, you know, + +00:27:05.600 --> 00:27:08.159 +all the things that I've done working on this. + +00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:12.319 +I listed out a bunch of ideas + +00:27:12.320 --> 00:27:15.479 +for different forms for functions macros. + +00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:21.839 +I did different pieces of research. + +00:27:21.840 --> 00:27:23.199 +Yeah, I was trying to figure out + +00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:24.679 +for the width restriction macro, + +00:27:24.680 --> 00:27:26.599 +what types does it take? + +00:27:26.600 --> 00:27:28.479 +And I did a whole bunch of tests + +00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:31.279 +to try and ultimately figure it out. + +00:27:31.280 --> 00:27:35.719 +Because it claims in the documentation, + +00:27:35.720 --> 00:27:37.399 +I believe, that it will just take + +00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:39.439 +any type for labels. + +00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:43.959 +But in my testing, that's not + +00:27:43.960 --> 00:27:44.879 +ultimately what I found. + +00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:46.519 +The results of my tests + +00:27:46.520 --> 00:27:50.119 +is that symbols, numbers, they work. + +00:27:50.120 --> 00:27:51.319 +Strings do not. + +00:27:51.320 --> 00:27:52.919 +I'm not sure why that is. + +00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:54.439 +But for my purposes, + +00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:58.159 +this is what I need to know. + +00:27:58.160 --> 00:28:00.359 +I have my development focuses here. + +00:28:00.360 --> 00:28:03.879 +So I have my assorted goals + +00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:05.119 +for different directions + +00:28:05.120 --> 00:28:08.059 +I want to take the program. + +00:28:08.060 --> 00:28:13.339 +And then lastly, I have my functions, my macros. + +00:28:13.340 --> 00:28:14.439 +And this right here + +00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:18.079 +is the titular macro. + +00:28:18.080 --> 00:28:20.499 +This is ultimately the big meat + +00:28:20.500 --> 00:28:24.859 +of the program. + +00:28:24.860 --> 00:28:28.219 +And it's all contained happily organized + +00:28:28.220 --> 00:28:30.359 +inside my Bookclub file. + +00:28:30.360 --> 00:28:31.199 +I'm quite happy with it. + +00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:36.099 +I think it looks really nice. + +NOTE What else does Bookclub Tapas do? + +00:28:36.100 --> 00:28:40.759 +So what else does Bookclub tapas do? + +00:28:40.760 --> 00:28:44.519 +I don't know.
