Engineering

For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is.

Abstract

ThyForce is a long running personal software generation and maintenance infrastructure geared towards assimilating engineering acumen in an accelerated manner.

I’m going for a healthy mix of being pragmatic and principled when exploring and integrating different engineering paradigms and patterns into this code base.

The seeding incentives of the current repository structure (polylith and tech stack choices (hy, python)) are (inexhaustive list):

I’m a Philosopher (etymologically speaking, I do love wisdom).

CognWare Industries was established on the 1st of May to philosophically channel my cognitive energies.

Explicitly addressing them allows me to separate out my identities of being technicality oriented (in here) and being too abstract (given the lisp aficionado that I am).

Of course, a fusion of being overtly-abstract and over-engineering my thoughts are fundamental to my operations and my personalit(y/ies).

I’ve lately taken to watching Alan Kay talks during my lunches and dinners.

The idea of this being a campfire talk near the end caught me offguard and is something I would like to use in the future.

I finished my first pass of SICP (structure and interpretation of computer programs) around 3 years ago. Since, I’ve realized the elegantly implicit existence of symbolic algebra in several domains that I personally explore on a regular basis.

That initial infatuation with Lisp ( and consequently symbolic computation ) has simmered and fermented enough in my mind to be realised as a potent generic thinking device. To cement my commitment to the same, I’ll regularly dive deeper into relevant academia so I don’t lose out on the joys of thinking for the sake of itself.
