Client meetings be like:

Gmail marks emails sent from Google Calendar events by me to my own account as potential spam ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

C'mon Amazon India, either show me relevant results or tell me that you don't have the thing that I searched for. What's up with these trash results?!

I can create whatever I want.

Relational data is so much easier to work with than non-relational data (obviously!). You define the models, some serializers, some viewsets (set of generic views for GET, POST etc.) and their URL patterns, and you get REST APIs with full CRUD functionality. And if required each layer can be easily extended (provided the framework you're using is well-designed).

None really. I just stick with the language's preferred style, such as PEP8 in Python, C++ Core Guidelines for C++, and whatever `go fmt` wants 🤷‍♂️

Is it just me, or does the new symbol in Medium's logo look like a rendering error?

WTF was dpkg trying to do here?!

Do I choose the red pill or the red pill? Please help, I can't decide!

😰💦

I was building an API and was checking out the list of HTTP status codes on Wikipedia, and I found this!

Good job to whoever added this!

DynamoDB should be renamed to DynamoPseudoDB since it's nothing like a "real" DB, but more like a key-value store with some DB features.

This applies to everything on life, including software development. You don't have to keep up with every new programming language/framework, but work on ideas/projects that are challenging and rewarding, and that help you grow.

This is what I've been up to the past few weeks 😅

+ @aws-amplify/cli@3.9.0
added 1757 packages from 1484 contributors in 1542.624s

😣

Phew! Pressed Ctrl+C just in time!

Came across this when refactoring colleague's code:

The Raspberry Pi 4 4GB model was out of stock within hours 😭

"[Excel] empowers over 1.2 billion people ... every day" 🤨

visudo uses nano by default :/

Finally took the time to reorganise my home screen. And changed the wallpaper too!

A few days ago, while coding late at night, I had written the following (in Python) to read the first character of a string:

first_char = line[:1]

When reviewing the code right now, I thought this should instead be:

first_char = line[0]

Right?

Nope! This will fail when the string is empty.

Seems like my sleepy brain wrote better code than my awake brain xD

Or maybe I'm more tired night now ZZZ

Clients and their ever changing requirements!
When will they learn to fully explain what they want and commit to those features 😪

I love Vue!

CDNJS is down 😭

Want to "jam" your DNS, burn all cores of your CPU and feel warm during the winters? Use Amass!

I just bought "Code Complete", "Design Patterns", and "The Pragmatic Programmer". Any advice on reading them?

DNS66 is amazing! Must try if you want to block ads on your phone completely.

Why do APIs return an error with HTTP 200 (success) as the response type?!

It's like saying:
"Hey, congrats! You've successfully failed."

Had a comp-off at work, so I finally got time to redesign my website, this time using Bulma.

Say what?!
