I was solving a DP LeetCode problem in Python and I really wanted to visualize my decision tree structure in the terminal. I'm not a Python expert nor I wanted to waste my energy implementing a "pretty print" function. Copilot was disabled, but I turned it on and did what one must (ask the AI):

My attention span is pretty short and every time Copilot takes much time to "think" I lose interest. I'm not finding working with AI much rewarding when it comes to coding. Maybe I should do some changes on my workflow? Not sure. I'll keep trying.

new video! this datatype → [1, 2, 3] ← is a bit of a marvel. it can store items of any size, grow to any length, rarely causes performance issues, and almost every modern language has one. what is it, really? and how does it work?

Today I saw this expression for the first time while learning C++ `std::this_thread::sleep_for(200ms);`. I was suspicious. How is `200ms` defined? Is that dynamic? What?! 💡 TIL: you can define your own literals en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/langua...

I'm mentoring a good friend of mine - which also happened to be my manager and CEO of a startup I worked for - and we experienced some real, weird bugs using node modules and git locally! I've never experienced those myself, so it was really hard to find out what was going on 👻

In October I interviewed for a big tech company. I passed all the interview stages, but in the end they decided to hire someone else with more experience. That sucked big time

What if you have an array and you want to transform it into a max-head? I’ll soon share that too!

TIL: window functions work in ORDER BY! Pretty useful for complex sorting. Check this out

4 years ago I decided to focus my career on backend development instead of fullstack development. While working at WeTransfer I'm made my name when it comes to databases (specially MySQL which is what we use).

Sharing some personal notes on the max-heap data structure commonly used for implementing priority queues. I might keep sharing these kind of notes here in case it helps someone else.
