Future of Coding is an online community with a welcoming, cooperative, and revolutionary spirit. We are unified in the belief that the common practice of programming is tragically less humane than it could be.

Future of Coding

The name of our community is now <https://futureofcoding.org/the-name|Feelings of Computering>.

It's going to take me a bit to update all the pages of the website, the graphics, the podcast, etc. Sorry, until then, you'll see a mix of the new name and the old name.

Launching this on April 1st feels like a very FoC thing to do

Dang, not only did I fall for it, but I loved the new name!

So now I'm fooled AND disappointed. :joy:

The best 1st of April jokes are where you think that it is a joke, but it ends up being not a joke, and you fool yourself with your assumption about it being a joke.

It's pretty on point. Maybe a little too much honesty for comfort. :D

April fools jokes have come true before.

Very glad to hear that grant authoring, while not strictly a coding task, very clearly falls under the aegis of computering. Hyped to talk about what AI means to institutional leadership!

(Obviously, the joke is not old, and I did not miss April Fool's entirely due to writing deadlines.)

Now you can make a “feelings of computer” ring for “feelings of computering”

Yeah, Hover is great. I also go there sometimes. Might go there soon.
