Generative AI has completely changed the way I approach software design. I don’t think I could ever go back. — AI is buzzing right now. All my social media feeds are about some new thing you can do with ChatGPT plugins or showing off a new photo created by generative AI. I’ll be honest, it’s pretty cool to see and I’m not mad about it. The tech community seems to…

It’s hunt-the-phisher fun-day! 📲🐟 The second case riddle is:

Rust will make you a better programmer than ever — A Really Long Intro I’ve spent the last couple of weeks learning more about the Zig language, and I gotta say, I mostly liked it. It’s super chill, hardly ever complains, and compiles super quickly. Plus, making an executable or building a library was a piece of cake. And let me tell you, the…

Some odd kinds of software engineer interviews in context of Scala As a software engineer in recent years, I conducted job interviews with Scala developers and participated as an interviewee. Let’s talk about some common types of Scala job interviews I had a chance to face. Also, let’s compare software…

…and what you can do about it. — I am absurdly interested in how organizations with a big software engineering base can grow better. Before we get better, though, we need to see where we are right now. During a lazy Saturday, I read and collected a lot of candid opinions on what actual, real software engineers have…

The story of small FixedSizeCollection types in Eclipse Collections Sometimes you’re on your own Every once in a while, we are required as application developers to roll up our sleeves and find ways to squeeze performance or memory savings beyond the built-in capabilities of the language and libraries that we use. I started programming professionally…

I learned a lot from our conversation. The conversation Weeks ago, lunchtime. My junior told me: “I think OO programming does not make sense, It is always over complicated things.” “Why do you think so?” I asked. Dude: “You see it always needs to create a bunch of classes even for some…

Square root calculation is a common mathematical operation required in various programming applications. While Newton’s method is often used for approximating square roots, an alternative approach utilizing binary search can provide accurate results. This article explores the binary search method for calculating square roots in C++ and demonstrates its simplicity…

When you start programming, you start to realize that there is no single established path to become a programmer. So many technologies, so many methodologies, so many programming languages and you just keep learning. You start one day programming a “Hello world” so that the next day you are working…
