The main issue with building a wesbite from scratch, but not only a website - a Content Management System and Runtime - is that it needs to be bulletproof when it comes to updates.

Today I have spent hours and hours just making an updater system that is always separate from the build itself. I have had to set very strict rules for the build as I have a habit of overloading javascript files. I am try ing to atomise my code base as much as possible with an orchastrator boot file system with proper indexing. In plain English -

One file that loads many tiny files that actually perform the actions we want.

This way I can find issues faster.

I am finally happy with the basic scaffolding I have made today because I know I can always revert back to this very basic set up and not have to think about it again. I like it when I have made something that i can completely forget about.

That sounds like a good way to continue, like having a save spot in a game and being able to start back from there if necessary without totally stsrting all over again. You will likely get it up to a certain point and then benefit from making another saved version you can return to if necessary, it is probably how anything at all has to be constructed when there are so many chances for errors and limited energy and frustration involved from starting again from a very early point.

If you have the energy to think about it and discuss it, since getting into these things more, and again recently, have you noticed any impact on the way you end up thinking abd thinking about things, people, relationships, interactions, films, whatever, since focusing your mind on projects which require coding and the mindset it requires you entering regularly? For example, they noticed changes, at least in the physical neurology of the brain, shifting based on the work people are doing, like traveling through a city as a Taxi Driver for example. I'm curious if there is anything you can perceive about this work impacting how you end up processing other information, or if it is too subtle or you've done this sort if stuff for so long that you can't really tell if there have been any changes of any kind at all.

I pretty much never deal with code or numbers, but I constantly deal with certain things, but other things that are very regular for people, I get exposed to far less, and I bet it has impacted me, possibly in weird ways too, but it can definitely be difficult to tell while in it or without comparisons or a "control" that shows any alternative.
