Just to clarify, I google a lot while coding, but one thing I learnt from my engineering degree is that is there is no ‘best’ solution.

    tbh I see a philosophical problem of separating markup from programming. Creating object structures be it in Latex or html is essentially the same thing as creating code objects. Most high level programming is more about structures and “placing things around” than people like to admit and that’s 90% of all programming today.

      Although I’d like to say, “it’s not”, that definitely is what takes up most of my time, even though it ends up being lesser part of the code (thankfully). But a lot of that is UI designing and deciding what might give a better UX, rather than programming.

      Of course, if I were not using a framework, which does all the painting for me, I would always be programming the UI and that would be 90% of my code and 99% of my coding time.
      Also, I would probably take a year to complete a weekly project.
