Today I read a bit about how shells work. The neatest thing was that whenever a command is executed a new process is created to run that command, BUT when the command is cd it has to be executed in the shell's process. That's because the working directory is stored as part of the process's state - updating it has to be done with a system call, and that can only be done from inside the shell's process itself.
I also attended a cool pair programming workshop, and worked with Sophia to write a wordle in javascript & html. It was really fun! I haven't made an interface for anything in ages so it was really cool to do that, and I learnt some bits of Javascript syntax.
