Hello; whilst the main aim behind creating this blog was to display my fabulous capstone project after having my 12-week data science training with Digital Futures finished, I thought why not have some fun — and by this, you can pretty much get the sense of how exciting my life is — and include other musings too?
As someone privileged by academic training in philosophy, I think it is only fashionable to be basic and get back to the roots both as a philosopher and as — and you will see ample proof of this — a programmer. Time to get excited.
print('Hello, World!')Now that everything is here, it is time to do the serious part and prove that this actually is everything. No better tool for the task than a bit of Cartesian analysis — this time, without coordinate systems. And to really go back to the really basics and be basic — on many different levels now — we should invoke René Descartes’s famous cogito argument. Only in this context, it becomes ‘I code, therefore I am programmer’ instead of ‘I think, therefore I am’. So there it is, the proof of me being a programmer and a philosopher.
However, after this incredibly powerful single line of code, things can only go — much like in Descartes’s Meditations — downhill. But if that’s something that still sounds interesting to you, please, by all means, join me!
