Software engineer doing mobile stuff📱, enjoys old-school games 🎮 and binge watching TV shows 📺. Usually more friendly in person than in front of a screen 🙂.

[Eric S. Raymond @esrtweet]

If you are a software engineer "experiencing some degree of mental health crisis", now hear this, because I've been coding for 50 years since the days of punched cards and I have a salutary kick in your ass to deliver.

Get over yourself. Every previous "programming is obsolete" panic has been a bust, and this one's going to be too.

The fundamental problem of mismatch between the intentions in human minds and the specifications that a computer can interpret hasn't gone away just because now you can do a lot of your programming in natural language to an LLM.

Systems are still complicated. This shit is still difficult. The need for people who specialize in bridging that gap isn't going to go away.

As usual, the answer is: upskill yourself and adapt. If a crusty old fart like me can do it, you can too.

Merry Christmas to absolutely everyone.
Santa's on his way to you!

@reNotANumber @FlutterDev @TechnicalKn0ck Very cool, like Ori and the Blind forest meets Doodle jump.

@_erikmedina Lol, no, more like brazilian pop/rock

First day in Sweden and I hear a familiar song on the distance. #brazilianday

@wolfenrain That's insane! Source or it didn't happen! 😄

Classic "it's not a bug, it's a feature" moment. Not sure if I want them to fix it or not 🤔

[Nils Reichardt @nilsreichardt]

You want to know if an app is made with #Flutter?

Use this trick: Scroll with 2 fingers. If it's faster than using 1 finger, it's a Flutter app.

Credits to @creativemaybeno for showing me this 💯

@hamen Gave up when I realized I had to update individual items in different pages, couldn't think of a nice way to do it.

@zachklipp TextWatchers, I find the before/after listeners so confusing...

[Davis Miyashiro @DavisJP]

Very cool, better than the marbles...

Wow, just tested this, awesome tip. Amazing boost for keyboard navigation 🚀

[Find me on 🦋 : @p-y.wtf @Piwai]

If you use a Mac to write code, try this:

Go to Keyboard and move "Key Repeat" to "Fast" and "Delay Until Repeat" to "Small".

Trust me, you won't ever go back.

I just set up a new laptop and everything felt sluggish until I remembered @jessewilson had done that to previous Mac

There are times when we just need a hug. So here is a virtual one from us… We’ve made Monument Valley 2 free on the App store and Google Play for a little while!
Enjoy!
