I'm surprised that there are people out there who don't know the "boy scout" rule yet.

Happy to see these "fundamentals" being still spread around

There are so many benefits around having a personal blog that I'm surprised about reading all these negative comments.

I started blogging about tech and security when I was 13/14 years old in my native language. Then, when I felt more mature, I switched to a new blog where English was the main language. I started improving my language skills, getting some donation from kind strangers for my blog posts and using it as a self-branding forever running-side project.

Now, 20 years later I still have my personal blog and I still write about tech, but only recently I created some "personal related" tabs, like the "/now" page, enriching it every month or having a more personal about page. Why? Because I like going to a blog a see that behind that address there is a real person with emotions and dreams, it's like entering in their home and have a look around.

1. Improve your language skills

2. Self-branding

3. Memorize better topics you care about

4. Share what you learned with others

About LLM, I don't care if they scrape my blog, I use LLMs every day, and if some stuff I write helps to enrich an LLM with a positive impact I would be more than happy to let it happens, the more we write, the less fake-news and low-quality content would ingest and used.

Switched to https://languagetool.org/ and I'm super happy about it.

I have been using this way of blogging for years now and it works perfectly.

I didn't know about Cloudflare pages, thanks for sharing!

I use Jekyll, Github pages and Cloudflare. I use hackmd for editing but Obsidian will work as well.

So did they just discover pair programming? :D

Also, I'm reading lots of comments that are pointing out that they don't like doing pair programming because they do it wrongly.

In the past I wrote an article about it: https://domenicoluciani.com/2022/07/22/misleading-pair-progr..., I hope it helps to clarify some concepts behind this way of working

Open Source enthusiast and greedy learner.

Currently focusing on software craftsmanship.

Ex-Thoughtworks, Ex-Pivotal/Tanzu Labs @ VMware

Having some tests is necessary to avoid mostly of the bugs that other comments are pointing out.

Perhaps it's just me, but I don't trust code that hasn't been tested.

I'm a Senior Product Engineer based in Málaga, Spain.

I've been working as an Extreme Programmer for more than 8 years now, and I have more than 10 years of experience as a software engineer.

I worked at Thoughtworks and then VMware Tanzu Labs, former Pivotal Labs.

Ex-VMware due to the European layoff, I'm looking for a new role as a product engineer.

I'm currently focusing on delivering value to customers applying the Extreme Programming methodology (TDD, CI/CD, lean methodology, fast-feedback, etc.)

Don't hesitate to reach out.

I like a lot the "rule of three" when it comes to have to choose when to DRY.

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience, included 8 as Extreme Programmer.

I'm looking for interesting opportunities and new challenges, I'm a product-engineer/T-shape engineer focused mostly on the backend side.

I have several years of experience working on different stacks and industries, joining clients' teams on different products and projects, helping them deliver value to the respective customers.

Agree, I spoke with some taxi drivers who were there just for the summer season and they told me that they've been doing that every year, sharing a small flat with other taxi drivers/workers to save money and to earn enough to live the rest of the year back in their towns.

Ahaha same, I thought about it for a few seconds

In Italy washing the coffee pot with detergent is considered a sin. The "oily" that you describe gives a better taste, and it's something that every "nonna"(grandmother) teaches you, if you want to clean your coffee pot just put it under hot water and brush it with your fingers, that's it.

You are describing scaled trunk-based development, not trunk-based development

See https://trunkbaseddevelopment.com/ to know more about it

Pretty common if you ask me. Especially, if you work in companies where pair programming is a thing, you do TDD (or at least write tests), have feature toggles, and a CI/CD pipeline in place.

Btw, if you want to know more about trunk-based development: https://trunkbaseddevelopment.com/

I'm a happy Obsidian user too, it's probably the application I use the most. The amount of plugins available is incredible (my favs: Excalidraw and Calendar, Obsidian Git)

I also wrote an article about why I switched from Notion to Obsidian a few years ago.

In my experience, years of professional experience != Seniority

You could have been for 18years in a company where you were the senior just because you were the only one who knew how the old monolite work. You could have been for 18years in a company without knowing more than what you were just doing. This just to say that the seniority it's not something you obtain with your years but with the experiences and situations you find yourself in and especially what do you learn from them.
