My favorite button in web dev so far

Who knew a single button could bring so much joy

This is going to be a pretty short post.

Graduate school has made it to where I get anxious about writing so little. But Iโ€™m trying to build a new relationship with writing. Currently, Iโ€™m practicing impact. How to get in and get out while still making a point, or several, about a topic thatโ€™s clear and interesting.

Todayโ€™s is about my favorite button in the field of web development so far. Here it is

This button pushes all my commits (changes Iโ€™ve made to a project) to a remote repository thatโ€™s connected to my account on GitHub. This matters to me because after pushing all my commits, I get rewarded with a green square.

This green square is important because it gives a feeling of accomplishment, and that feeling of accomplishment is what motivates me to continue to work.

Itโ€™s an unintentional reward system that incentivizes me to program more and more.

Til next time.
