To me the problem with this kind of explanations is that they miss the “why”. I understand “what” is currying and “how” to implement it. But I’m missing the “why”. The real-world example doesn’t tell me why I would prefer currying instead o

I constantly hear about how hellish is high school in the US. Do other countries experience the same? I enjoyed the high school equivalent of my country, met some of my best friends there. My peers don’t seem to ever mention bad experiences

I’m a developer located in Latin America, I’ve worked for several clients and I know tons of companies that outsource work from here. What do you think is missing? I sincerely would like to know the perception from the other side.

Another pattern I usually encounter is explaining the how but not the why. Trying to understand how a complex mechanism works is hard, but it’s harder if you don’t know why the mechanism exists in the first place. It would be madness to sta

Talking about outsourcing work, I'm from Mexico, I work with nearshore development teams and it amazes me how well represented Costa Rican developers are in the industry (considering Costa Rica has a population of 5 million people). I&

I love writing automated tests, but having someone else test your own code is just different, I as the owner of the code will usually have a “positive” attitude to my own code, this in my opinion limits my imagination towards all the things

Interviewing is a skill, you just need to learn it. The easiest way to learn it is practicing it. I know the feeling, I’ve failed several interviews, most of them I was not able to answer simple questions, that feels devastating. Emotions a
