ADVENT OF CODE: MY EXPERIENCES
There is a programming challenge called 'advent of code' where 2 programming tasks are released every day. I participated this year and here is what I learned.
PRODUCTIVITY BY AUDIO INPUT
During the home office times I recently figured out that my productivity correlates with the kind of music/acoustic environment I'm listening to, actively or just by background noise. I was looking for mechanical keyboard typing sound and played this in parallel to the music I'm usually listening during work.
CUSTOMIZED ANDROID
Sometimes standard stuff sucks hard. In this article I'm describing how I use Open Source apps to enhance my android experience without feeding the data sourcing google apps massively.
UNDERSTANDING SOLID
SOLID is a set of programming principles and rules to write clean, maintainable, testable and readable code. Tim Corey has created a free set of videos with practical examples about the SOLID principes.
CLEAN CODE DEVELOPER
This is an extending article
I'm currently doing a Clean-Code-Developer "challenge". In this Article i'm publically documenting my experiences.
There are different grades described at this page.
CODING KATAS
From time to time I have a need to code after work. Sometimes I really like kicking off a new private project but I don't always have the right idea.
WHAT I LEARNED DURING THE LOCKDOWN
I thought about the things I learned while working from home during the lockdown. I wrote them down in a small list.
MICROSOFT POWERTOYS
This sounds a bit more naughty than it actually is. But here's a neat tool I did not know about but find to be very useful: Microsoft PowerTools.
USB CONDOM
Have you ever charged your phone at a public USB port? If so, you might have got hacked. It's usual for scammers to infect public USB charging ports with malware.
DELETE OLD ACCOUNTS
Some days ago I received an email that someone logged into an old account of mine. The hoster obviously introduced 2FA, so i got a verification code.
