alt Hacker NewsSounds really cool.
It reminds me of programming, that moment when new code starts to really sync up and code goes from being a bunch of text to more intuitive structures. When really in the zone it feels like each function has its own shape and vibe. Like a clean little box function or a big ugly angry urchin function or a useless little circle that doesn't do anything and you make a note to get rid of. I can kinda see the whole graph connected by the data that flows through them.
There's a lot of interesting discrete math that can supercharge programming at different levels of scale. What's pretty cool is that it reveals a layer of understanding when I watch my toddlers learn math from counting.
One of the interesting things is being able to exactly describe how something is an anti-pattern, because you have a precise language for describing constraints.
