Create a unified format for my wiki.
Unfortunately, since most of my notes are created on a whim and I don't
care much about metadata at the time, the timestamps are only
approximations from my memory.

Just as a sorcerer needs spells, a programmer needs code to do its bidding.
Simple processes such as designing models with computer-aided design programs and controlling a robot arm in a factory are possible through expressing in code.
In order to study the idea of how code works, we need to study the idea of computational processes.
Programming mainly need two things: *processes* which is a set of instructions and *data* which is the object being manipulated for various purposes.
However, as one may dig into the rabbithole, they find that the hard line of separation between processes and data is a myth and unlocks more possibilities to solve problems.
