update: child one playing minecraft until they almost had an accident, gets up to run to the bathroom. child 2 rushes to computer, messes with child 1’s build. child 1 emerges, freaks out. fighting. tantrums. mom unplugs computer. passwords are changed. ~fin~

my experience following a code tutorial: 1. find a tutorial from within the past year 2. watch introduction to make sure its relevant 3. clone the git repo 4. run npm/yarn install 5. deal with dependency issues and errors for an hour 6. rm -rf the directory 7. close the tab

imagine preparing for a flight, downloading a book to your ipad from icloud before you leave home. get in the air - the book is not there. what is apple thinking?
i re-added them to my ibooks library and now i sync them to my ipad via iTunes with a cable. this is preferable, as before with icloud syncing i would have to re-download every book to my ipad every time i launch the app.
