Almost nothing in my career (13 years) was ever really fun. Very discrete moments. Only consistent fun I ever have is on my personal projects... Actually the more the things I'm wo…

Time, as we perceive it doesn't really exist. It's much more complicated than what we perceive, as it should be otherwise we would not be able to live in society. Our brains create…

For me it was all about listening to a lot of people talking in English, memorizing the exact sounds and pronunciation. And then reading books out loud everyday. It helps that I ha…

And it's indeed heightened consciousness and not merely hallucinations as in several cases people describe scenes and events occurring around them or even far away from them, that …

If having a VM/GC is acceptable then C# is the overall best language/framework today, meaning that it ranges from good to great in everything: Web, Game Dev, Desktop Dev, Mobile et…

I have a pair of glasses with leds that pulsate light at different frequencies following a programmed routine on an arduino chip. You, of course, use it with eyes closed. First tim…

Problem, is mostly with bad PMs, POs, Scrum masters and all the other potato heads, not Jira itself.

This enforces the idea, which I believe is absolutely true, that our identity, the concept we have of ourselves is actually a persona created by us, throughout our entire lives, bu…

It is. In its genre, I'm pretty sure it's now the best game of all time.

I'll probably die far more then in the previous games as things are going. And this is a great thing. This is now my favorite game of all time.

If language is just a means of communication. Then everything has one. Plants, animals, even a piece of rock. A rock may appear dead. But its atoms behave a certain way, following …

I was in awe the entire thing. Best animated series I've ever seen. Textures, animation, lightning, facial expressions, overall effects. Everything is top notch. I don't even play …

There was a reason for me to dual boot Linux before. There's no reason now. Windows now fulfills all my needs. OS singularity.

I use WSL2 daily for work. It's much better then using a fullblown VM, because it's much much faster to open and is completely integrated into Windows, and works seamlessly with Do…

Makes sense to me. Thanks.

Maybe it could if left unchecked and mutating up and down ?

Probably because , for this case, comparing for > or < is faster than equality comparison. Which from my experience is true.

Absolutely agree.

Been using .NET since 2010. To this day I haven't found anything better overall (for my use cases). Experimented here and there, but in the end I always come back to C#. And it kee…

VS2022 takes ~5 seconds to start. Auto complete is milliseconds etc. Starting anything is a couple seconds max. There's something very wrong with your machine. VS2022 is an amazing…

Desktop dead. That would be a nightmare scenario for me as I much prefer coding desktop based apps/games compared to web things. I code web things professionally. It's where the mo…

VS used to be heavy and bloated. But that was a long time ago. I use VS since 2010 version. It improved by leaps and bounds since then. New 2022 version is almost as fast as VSCode…

There's some new smart code suggestion features on VS2022 that I've never seen anywhere else before. But talking about VSCode, it depends. For C# development it doesn't replace VS …

No, because I find I can always learn anything easily. Once you know one or two frameworks well enough, you can learn anything easily. I used Angular for years. Then decided to try…

Nothing ? Maybe a website that you wanted to exist but there's nothing quite like it ? An app, a game... Its not only about solving problems exactly but about having a vision and w…
