Today for some weird reason I wanted to look over some more code because it has been a long time since I’ve touched any. The most recent thing I really did was touch up a few files on my GitHub repo for work so that I could test a few things in order to try and test and possibly re-create some issues that customer have submitted.
The kicker here being that I was able to reproduce one thing right away but there has been one that has eluded me. I’m actually not mad at that but do worry that I won’t be able to.
What really got my thought process was that I haven’t really touched or really looked over any Gutenberg code in like over 2 years now. I know that a lot has changed since then too so I’d be essentially doing a complete look all over again. The tricky part for me is that I don’t feel like I have that attention span either to go over it all.
I could try and make a random plugin but that’s only really going to get me some of the knowledge I would like. I would rather know what happens behind the scenes. And I also like knowing the code that is being run rather than just copy paste too. Don’t get me wrong I will do that but there is a reason for me doing it. I always read the code first to get a better idea of what it actually is doing before running it too.
I don’t know I think I will probably tinker a little bit with a possible plugin but I will need to think of what what to make and mostly because it does deal with some JavaScript. I do want to dive more into TypeScript though because that’s been the bigger one; that and Rust. I’ll look for random tutorials on both of those to get an idea as well. I like doing my research.
