and what I’ve learned along the way — Technically — at the time of writing — it’s been less than 3 years since I’ve boarded the Apple-oriented devs’ boat, back in 2017, but close enough to share some thoughts, I guess. A bit of history I’ve been a Windows and Web app developer since .NET Framework’s very inception (2001), and I consider…

8 months ± a few days or weeks. This seems to be the duration that my “high” feelings — see my initial post about them below — have lasted. What’s better than Rust? Hint: devs rarely have one themselves, even if they often use `a symbols in code. (Yet the impossible can happen!)medium.com No, I’m not too sad that things went down — although they did so pretty abruptly, indeed (just the way they…

I’m back, with some thoughts that I couldn’t skip sharing again. This time, it’s about the most beloved programming language (according to StackOverflow) — that I like very much as well, although it was “named after a fungus”… In fact, it’s not even about the language itself, but about the…

for a minute or two 😉 — It’s been some really long [relative] time since my previous post on Medium, but given that its content still applies (and that I’m still “cherry picking” good life — I force it to be so — everyday), I’m not really sorry, haha. But I think it’s time to share a…

Hint: devs rarely have one themselves, even if they often use `a symbols in code. (Yet the impossible can happen!) — For many years, and especially after 2020/Apple’s M1 revolution/boost, I was under a continuous impression that with programming and just using a perfect MacBook Air everyday, I had already reached the maximum level of happiness in life! I’m not even sure how to say it, so I’ll admit it in…

Step-by-step guide / macOS, M1, everything without sudo — Today we’ll learn how one can use vim to build Rust apps and still benefit of the most common tools that other (“modern”) software development environments like Visual Studio [Code], Xcode, and so on, provide; such as language analysis and code completion, two that are, from my point of view…

ChatGPT: “You are correct, the definition of the Vec2D type is not necessary in the example I provided. I apologize for the mistake.” — I was sure I wouldn’t publish any new story this year when I posted my not-anymore-closure for 2022. I was, obviously, wrong. It seems I was too much in a hurry with that. Because — yeah, everybody’s talking about it — yesterday I managed to test OpenAI’s ChatGPT tool for…

You know you’re [getting] old when you notice that each year that passes feels shorter than the one before. Psychologically, it’s in fact correct perception: when you [would] have lived longer, one year is less percent of the age you totally sum up. 🙃 For me — and my perception…

* template — Seeing me using vim to edit code a lot under my Mac’s Terminal these days, my younger son (~8 years old at the time of writing), knowing I was learning Rust, has approached me: “Dad, I want you to teach me some Rust [too].” “How come?”, I replied. “You already…
