Glossary

This page is all about keeping a running list of the terms I define and use on this site (it’s mainly meant to be a bit of fun and representative of the style of documentation pages that typically appear in Programming Language documentation). For a good example of this, check out the documentation page of Project @Lombok.

General Terms

  • CHNO – The chemical formula for caffeine (C8H10N4O2 to be precise) but in this context it’s the author of the CHNO suite, Zachary Ferretti.
  • Software Development Engineer – A person who works in tech and does many things. Those responsibilities can include but are not limited to – project management, product management, system design, test design, developer operations, and far more.

AWS

  • AWS Lightsail – from the landing page Lightsail is a ” a powerful virtual cloud server built for reliability & performance”. For me, the main draw is its ability to easily set up a WordPress instance where I have total control over it. Specifically, its ability to SSH and directly interact with the WordPress instance was the main draw. It enabled me to setup Let’s Encrypt for an SSL certificate.

Java

  • Lombok – A Java library used to remove boilerplate code with their annotation suite as outlined in the feature list here.

Web-Development

  • WordPress – Not to be confused with WordPress.comWordPress.org is (in my experience) the most verbose and customizable website development and management platform second only to building your own website entirely from scratch. It is how I host all of my websites – and a powerful tool for those willing to learn how to work in it.
