Just getting the basics right with the different data structures is what took up the bulk of the time coding and debugging. All those linked lists going backwards and forwards. In comparison, throwing on new features at the end like preferences and sound/notifications was trivial. (2/4)

Some bugs just cause self-doubt about the whole project. Is this network timeout a fundamental issue with how primitive AppleTalk is or did I just mess up a loop somewhere? (it was always the latter). I’ve definitely learnt to appreciate modern OOP data structures where you don’t have to keep re-implement the wheel for each situation. And virtual memory, where you don’t have to use Handles. (3/4)
