Template:Johnllopez616 Shared Week 4

1. Based on the readings, while I did not necessarily code in a traditional programming language, which Ford describes as "software used to make software", I coded in a markup language, HTML. I also used Bootstrap, which technically is not a standard library since the classes given from Bootstrap are not methods. However, Bootstrap behaves like a standard library would, in the sense that it provides extra functionality. Finally, I would assume that the anger from coders mentioned in Paul Ford's article comes from the fact that the programming industry undergoes rapid technological change at a pace that is difficult to keep up with. What was the most efficient solution to a problem yesterday might not be the case today. This creates situations where , if you were a programmer, you must "Expect to be told you’re wrong; expect to tell other people they’re wrong".
2. I believe that the notion of sharing ideas is still prominent within the modern web. Although the world wide web was designed for the purpose of sharing information and data in regards to scientific advancement, it would appear that a multitude of applications have emerged from this. The idea of an online store mentioned at the end of the article has blossomed into the world of e-commerce as an example. I think that all of these ideas being shared is what makes the web better. However, the fact that our society puts so much dependence on sharing information through the world wide web is a problem, for this can lead to issues like misinformation, hacking, and a overall lack of privacy online even if you don't share information by publishing through HTTP.
3. Out of the four databases I accessed, I found SGD to be the most organized, easiest to navigate, and use. This was because it was focused more towards yeast genes specifically and provided the data I needed compared to what another scientist might need. This is why I found UniProt to be the most difficult to use for my case, for it had connections to genes from other species and had data I did not need.
