Software Developer. Works on Chromium. Loves to read, loves to write.

NeoVim simply didn’t work out for me. The entire editor becomes very slow when working on chromium.

Idk how vscode manages to be so performant while being on electron. Though not complaining.
Finally decided to try out NeoVim after seeing the kickstart config.

I must say I am loving it. Still not very productive at Vim motions, but I can definitely see the potential.

Fingers crossed!

Real life's hard enough. Enjoy your hobby.👍

Sharing a dotnet + react project template I created to facilitate quick start for small scale projects and LOB web apps.

Intent is to have a single repo and deployment for SPA UI and Web API in single step. Releasing this as unilicense to enable unrestricted usage.

What’s the point of using Apple customer service callback if they still make you wait on hold?

Spent 5 hours tracking down why my DLL was linking user32. And fixing it with a 1 line change. Hows your day so far?

ASN.1 and PER/ DER are really good communication formats. Makes me sad that it isn't as popular as say protobuf. Especially since a lot of internet is actually build on top of it.

When using copilot and other LLMs to query big documents or articles, it’s important to not ask leading questions for best results.

This is insane. I am impressed and worried now that even my font can open an attack surface.

Need to dig deeper, putting the worry aside I can see a great many applications here.

I barely put in a paragraph before getting overwhelmed about the amount of details I might need to expand upon.

Hate doing laundry, but love the view while waiting for the machine to finish.

Travelling around Europe made me realize how dysfunctional it is that I have to pay a monthly subscription for drinking water.
