Y'all ever learn something and just kinda smile about it?

I finally got a decent understanding of lower level concurrency control like mutexes and sephamores (I knew about atomicity before but never knew how it was implemented) and I just got this huge grin across my face.

There's something satisfying in making stuff run fast by making it run in parallel

Remember when I learnt that and solved clients sharing a printer connection between them with it. Rest of the team thought it was black magic

Yes! That’s one reason why I love being a dev.
You learn something and then you think how you can use it in some place of the code to improve it.

Read this as

"I finally got a decent understanding of stuff like wuut and blah (I knew about thing before but never knew how it was implemented)"

Then googled sephamore and only found results for semaphore

When I understood bitwise operators I kinda just smiled about it and never used them again

@webketje No clue why I insist on calling them that. I know their proper name but I am just fully retarded

Hm...I learned prod blew up because ... And in my mind I go "I told u do" **smiles**

Does that count?

I implemented some css mixins today, which kinda solidified their use in my mind. I knew about them, but had never used em. Yeah, nothing amazing but an actual use case came up and I felt happy and yeah.
