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 working on on my clients projects resemble my personal pr

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 the apparent linearity of time to give us a sense

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 have a very good ear, but it should work for anyone.

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 are later confirmed and verified. My only conclusion is

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 etc. Otherwise there's no general contender. Wi

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 time I used it I felt pretty bad, but there was something intri

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, built from our experiences, memories, traumas etc. It is not s

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 certain laws. As such it may communicate in some level as we

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 LoL and I was left wanting a single player game wi

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 Docker for Windows, which is now an order of magnitu

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

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 keeps getting better.

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 experience end-to-end.

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 money is. But the fun is in desktop/mobile&#x2F

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, if you have a good PC.

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 at all, far from it. Omnisharp is not good en

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 React and had no problems with it, actually liked it a lot

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 wanting to turn it into reality.

Two things I did and always do: Code things that solve real problems you want to solve. The harder the problem, the better you'll get in the language and as a programmer in general. Second, look at existing open source, well written co

The thing is, we're carbon based lifeforms. They're not. Our bodies are on our visible spectrum. Theirs may not be. They don't hide themselves. We just mostly can't see them with our physical eyes, and with our tools.

That may be the case with them. But there's thousands of reports and accounts. If you read enough of them you'll see the consistency. Of course there's discrepancies, but the base elements are consistent.

Most people fail to realize their purpose. They want to give, not to take away. They want to be of service to us. Most of them anyway. Some of them only want to learn of our ways since we're so different. And a minority of them want to
