Super passionate senior software engineer who loves learning, researching, and trying new things each day!
I'm also a real Roquefort 🧀, dark chocolate 🍫, and ristretto lover! ☕️
Classic 15min slow-down break. Just thinking about creativity and better ways to build. Gym Junkie in hand. Sometimes the best ideas don’t come from pushing harder.
💡 Ideas come from pausing, sitting in a food court, and letting your mind wander for a bit 😊🎩
Also, a simple rule is to always keep every flag off by default when shipping the designed feature. It prevents quiet surprises and noisy rollouts.

Feature flags (or toggles/gateways) help ship granular releases, enabling gradual and safe rollouts.
If a feature misbehaves 🤕, check the feature gateways before the code.
Something I should have thought earlier... With Mongoose, when you use `.lean()`, it returns plain JavaScript objects, instead of Mongoose document instances! Much faster and perfect for read-heavy operations like search 😊
Who else is working on exciting data side projects this evening? 🌆🤗
How is your day going…? ☕️ Wouldn’t it be a time to slow down … 🤔
In programming, TDD forces you to reorganize and simplify your business logic. Doing it, you’ll write smaller and more maintainable code.
Writing tests first makes you (AI) think through your design before implementation, leading to cleaner software architecture👌

Seriously, this simple shortcut is a real game changer for productivity! ✨
This is how easy you can setup a keyboard shortcut for Apple's Writing Tools🚀
Go to System Settings → Keyboard → App Shortcuts
Menu title: "Show Writing Tools"
Shortcut: ⌘⇧W (or whatever you prefer)
You can then instantly use AI writing assistance system-wide without touching your mouse
All the mistakes and complete lack of apologies from @apple and the Apple Stores have been exhausting. We should only support companies that truly care about providing excellent service, and Apple has consistently failed to meet expectations.
For the last 1.5 years, my experience with @apple and their customer service has been close to disastrous. The time spent going back and forth on recurring problems at GeniusBar appointments waiting hours, along with the poor service and very poor commununcation from Apple Store
I’m also curious to hear if others have made the switch too 🤔🤔
I've recently started using Omarchy as my new Mac replacement! And honestly, it has been fantastic! Fast, nicely opinionated for devs, reliable, and with all the tools I need, already setup for me (Neovim,fzf,ripgrep,zoxide, Xournal++, Alacritty,..)

Dependency Injection enables Single Responsibility and Open/Closed principles by letting you swap components without modifying existing classes.
This keeps your code flexible, testable, and easier to maintain as your service scales

Few weeks ago, I started using GitHub Claude Code Action, using Claude mentions in PR comments. It saved me so much time and superfluous context switching by automating the repetitive review tasks, implementing fixes, updating docs, … and significantly improved my productivity!
