In line with every prominent first step, “Hello World!”.
The history of “Hello World” is rather interesting. For something so widespread among the programming community, the term was first coined based on a reference made in a comic, by Brian Kernighan, renowned computer scientist whom played a major role in the development of the UNIX operating system.
Moving on from fun facts, I want to briefly introduce this blog as well as myself in this post. I hope that this post will serve as a sneak peak into the kind of things to expect from this blog, as well as remind the future me why I wanted this in the first place.
There were three main reasons that motivated me to start this blog. Firstly, it serves as means of documenting some of the many thoughts and realisations that having been recurring in the recent months. Secondly, I hope it acts as a personal progress gauge, in tracking how my thought process evolves through experiences and varying phases in life. And lastly, cause every other medium has become means of inflating egos rather than minds.
Therefore, “Glorified Glitches” was born.
What does that even mean? To be honest I didn’t really give it much thought, the name sort of stuck on to me and it sounded hipster enough. Maybe through the progress of the blog the name may change, or the posts may define the term. Hopefully the latter happens, that would be cool.
And with that, the rather generic post comes to an end. Haven’t given much thought about the next post yet, but I do hope to keep this ball rolling and not let friction and air resistance take control.
Till then, keep glitching!
