This is the token Hello World! post, but here at Stateless Code, we do “Hello World! Taxation is theft!”
I’ll take a quick note here to add that “Working but ugly” is a solid first step, and you shouldn’t delay putting your content out there until it is polished and perfect. You will be far better in a year if you publish 365 bad pieces of content and iterate on them than one piece of content representing your best quality. Your best quality will get better faster if you iterate and your capacity to deliver more higher quality content efficiently will increase.
So here’s to humble beginnings and producing more content sooner, a lesson it took me years to learn.
While I’m trying out this new WordPress site, I’ll take the Enlighter code highlighting plugin for a test drive in a few languages.
Ruby
# frozen_string_literal: true
require 'statelesscode'
user = "World"
puts "Hello ${user}! Taxation is theft!"
# => Hello World! Taxation is theft!
JavaScript
"use strict";
const helloTaxationIsTheft = (name) => `Hello ${name}! Taxation is theft!`;
let user = "World";
console.log(helloTaxationIsTheft(user));
// >> Hello World! Taxation is theft!
Bash
#!/bin/bash USER=World echo Hello $USER! Taxation is theft! # Hello World! Taxation is theft! # And install the Stateless Code NerdDice gem while we're at it gem install nerd_dice -P HighSecurity
