Besides the awesome content - which is great for starters to grasp some basic concepts of tactics and pay attention to some common patterns on the checkboard - I love the format too. It's really a conversation, a chat, but with solid c

While the article is dramatically true (credits to StackOverflow for some of my production code), there's a factor that isn't taken into account here: time. Yes, because as engineers our time is more valuable than a minimal and

I discovered asyncio when I stumped on this [1] blog post (linked also at asyncio.org). It was exactly what I needed for a personal project (a fast webscraping thing); before asyncio I went for the threads solution, but this thing performs

When I bought it this Acer C720 was like an experiment, at first I was skeptical. Now it's my main dev machine: its very little weight enables me to carry it wherever I go, the battery lasts 18h (18 HOURS, CRAZY!) if I read only PDFs,
