Have you ever wonder why mere reading articles, watch tutorials, tends to have less knowledge retention compared to actually building something and use the articles and tutorials as compliments? Well, in learning, we have "passive" and "active" approaches. #coding

I was an old school googler for finding information and reserching on IT topics. This year, after a brief usage of chatGPT, completely changed my mind. Not only that the result of chatGPT is informative, it is also easy to digest.

as the "watched" information _DID NOT_ actually solve a problem in our lives. With the idle information just sitting there in our brain, the brain will eventually discard it in order to make room for more important knowledge. (2).

Fun fact about learning to code:. We gain better knowledge retention by trail and error and when we get stuck, we use the "tutorials". If we get started by just watching tutorials without actually using them, the brain will flag those "watched" tutorials as "not important" (1).

When learning to code gets hard, you don't quit. You rest. And when recovered, keep walking. Just don't quit.

turns out. i'll stick to mac air for a while. so much for the fanless.

Dear #dev s,. If you want to train your SQL skills by getting your hands dirty, this site will help your journey. Keep goin'!.

Learning advanced TypeScript? One way to practice your knowledge is to get any tutorial of a library that only exists in JS and convert the tutorial into TS version. Of course, a lot of struggles in the process -- but you will gain a lot of knowledge from practicing this way.

In tech career, this will happen, perhaps you joined a place that the culture was not aligned as yourself. Just accept that it actually 'happened'. and move to the next door.

oi, ffs, IG. please stop suggesting threads.NOT HAPPENING

i restarted my core i7 32gb company windows laptop and it start comsuming 41% of ram before i get into anything. i understand that it has security things running as it is a corperate laptop but. 41% of 32gb for claire's sake. .

i mean, if you had installed Linux x64 on a potato pc and you find it fast and very usable — imagine you have SnapDragon Elite X + Ubuntu ARM + 64gb of ram. just imagining it gives me goosebumps !.

coding with Windows + wsl2 core i7 ram 32 lately. makes me think of Mac M1 ram 16 so hard -- ease of tools installation, speed, energy efficiency, just work, robust and consistent experience. .

If Snapdragon X Elite can make Windows laptop becomes fanless like, and as quick as, macbook air, i'll just switch. No questions asked.

so. i just ran "ng g mo database" inside a nestjs project. sometimes i get extremely confused. 😵‍💫.

A professor did what ?!.

don't let jargons in software development industry scare you. after a while, you'll realize they are all familiar concepts but just called by different names.
