So last week, I started learning #colemak

Then I stumbled upon the French #ergol and dropped everything to start using it.

It works great for both French and English, and comes with a great layer for programming. Plus it has a funky Star dead key to access all the accents and diacritics.

Will post about my progress here...

After years of typing in bépo (French dvorak), I started learning Colemak yesterday...

My goal is to get the best of both qwerty keys for programming and a soft, natural layout.

I am currently at about 20 WPM 😅 ... It can only get better from here

About to switch from my MacBook to a Linux machine at my new workplace.

So I fell into the NixOS rabbit hole late yesterday evening... Which kept me up till 3 am. Spun up a VM and started playing with packages and configuration.

Epiphany.

Just updated the look and feel of my website/blog and profile pic to match Nord theme colors.

I believe it looks nice

Thinking out loud: what if, instead of raising RecordNotFound, ActiveRecord returned a MissingUser of a NullUser?

This has to be the best OOP talk ever. If you are looking into improving your OOP skills, just apply the concepts in this talk and your code quality and maintainability will just rocket.

I keep coming back to watch it, I think I have seen it about 20 times 🙃

Anyone looking to hire a junior #ruby developer?

One of my coworkers is a very promising junior developer looking for a new position. He has a very good mindset and is very mature for his age.

Available for remote work, in France and ready to move around Europe

After a week of using #Qwant, I must say that the results are very impressive compared to the hell hole Google search has become.

I think it is now mature enough for day to day use.

[#]zed is really growing on me.

Each new update enhances the user experience, making it more enjoyable. However, it still needs a robust git management feature (it's coming...).

Meanwhile, I use #lazygit within the integrated terminal, which I open and enlarge when needed.

Taking typing lessons, learning Vim/Emacs keybindings and how to use an IDE should be part of a developer's curriculum.

It's so painful to have pair-programming sessions with co-workers who just ignore LSPs and search for symbols by reaching to the global search box with their mouse.

It's just gd!

I love #emacs, but occasionally my #doom setup crashes, affecting my productivity.

So I decided to check out #lazyvim / #neovim, although I'm facing difficulties getting neotest to work seamlessly with minitest, and the LSP functionality isn't quite up to par.

I also experimented with #vscode, with #neovim extension, but it also suffers from some instability.

Currently testing #zed, which is proving to be quite impressive, at least for now.

I read an article on LinkedIn arguing against using #enums in #Rails models, favoring simple strings instead. While I believe integer enums provide faster indexing, querying, and less storage use, I'm curious why strings would be preferred.

I really like the way #VivaldiWebBrowser the RSS feed is integrated in my inbox, for instance. I just read my emails and my blogs in a single streak.

(Yeah, you read that right, Vivaldi features a full-fledged email / agenda / rss client if you need it)

[#]VivaldiWebBrowser is kinda like the #emacs of browser.

You could use it to browse the web, but you can customize it to become a very powerful workhorse.

In the #browserwars @Vivaldi is the clear winner on my side.

I regularly try out new (and old) competitors, like Arc, Firefox, Orion, Zen... but I keep coming back to it.

I only wish it didn't us #chromium as an engine. #VivaldiWebBrowser

From the day the startup company I work for announced they laid off half of the dev team because they could not raise enough capital in time, they also stopped doing agile, sprints and all that stuff, in order to concentrate on easing the future workload of the remaining developers here.

In a few weeks since that day, our response time has dropped, along with bugs. The whole team feels they are actually getting things done. And we are.

Agile is a counter-productive joke.
