Literate Programming

Upon those rocky slopes I smooth with discs of brick. The cutting edge instilling caves and depths. Inside the fern trees wood breaches the pebbles and digs little wonders. A root system finding water as the ferns reaches higher than peaks. My hands grips the hot mountain side. My breathing clear and my eyes water. At last. The heights always demanded effort. You needed a ledge to climb. A step to ascend. To transcend as your mind and heart rewind. Born anew with layers to mark the passage. Immutable images written as the writing compiles. Finally the loop succeeds. The cycle reaches forth.

Time. Mark the calendar. Mark the ages. History indeed does repeat. When effort meets. Silent yet fulfilling. Heart curse burning ridge. Suffocation weight diamonds shipped to fate. Shaping corners. Symmetry among the wings.

And so the feeling goes. As pieces form in my life they attract the next. Sometimes the wait is just temporary as your investment goes into yourself. Then the dawn awaits.

As I learn and discover, the things I read before come to mind. And when I combine my experience with the old technique it becomes a better feeling.

When I discovered about probability, it lead to the next thing. I studied linear algebra. Then I got physically sick and was stuck in a chair for a while. I have been walking for daily for four months now and my stamina as well as weight are improved. I find I can now sit for hours writing on my iPad. This allowed me to practice writing different topics and using the methods I have been training to give me ease of access to my gifts. I started writing on and off through the day. And my anxieties lowered while I felt endorphins release. I felt at ease and centered. And whenever I had a rough time, the weather would clear and I would return to writing. To experience treasure and joy. The words and symbols.

I have sought to continuously blend my two extremes together. And I have learned a lot. I went back and read about literate programming. I then used markdown on my iPad to write my thoughts while using little snippet syntax to write small windows of code. And then I would open new files to write about different topics. It was rewarding. I feel more purpose and clarity. As well as gravity.

I really am bringing my workflow together. It is nice to wonder not if I will get a signal from the chaos. I just sit down and start writing and I work through ideas. I write down code. And my code is becoming part of me. Literate programming enables me to mix art and computer in one document. Increasing the flow and communication between two extremes to move forward. I may find that I will start writing books now. These books containing my work. Containing my thoughts. Literate programming includes the ability to include code within long form writing. I can combine different mediums.

I know literate programming isn't new. Jupyter notebooks are great. One day I may move to them, but I prefer markdown for now. It just depends if python becomes my prototyping language for code. I don't know yet. It depends where my steps will take me. 

Outside of my iPad, I write in vscodium. As it is telemetry free and truly open source. I don't want to write my personal thoughts in the environment of vscode. Even though I use vscode for writing code, the personal nature of my work is important for privacy and peace. I don't worry about copilot while I am writing in codium. I love AI, but I like to separate it from my work environment. I pull AI up on my own, and it does not invade my workflow. I have copilot disabled in my vscode, but you just never know with the official binaries.

I read a little about literate programming. Two terms I learned is Tangle and Weave. Right now markdown is great. I couldn't find tools I liked to compile all the code snippets from the writing into their own respective source file. I might find one later, or perhaps, write my own. Markdown is perfect because I often write pseudo code. And I change languages between snippets. The code is real syntax, but the classes or function class are not all implemented but are just concepts I am proving. It makes the flow quick and easy. Allowing variance to work its magic. Each avenue explored laterally until I converge to the unified symbol.
