After my first class I went to a couple more classes, concluding the first week. Initially I was planning on doing one post per class, but that’s just not possible on my current schedule, and any hour I can add to my sleeping schedule is appreciated. Let’s see how it goes for making one post […]

My take on AI
I’m usually not very interested in trending tech topics, mostly because I see an abundance of claims that state that you cannot miss knowing about this, or that you should discard everything you’re using and implement this new thing instead, which is the best thing ever, which has no replacement, which is the future of […]
Lazy recollection of studying tips, information, methodologies
I’m looking after defining and/or implementing a study workflow I can follow. I’m collecting information about it online before dissecting it. I’ll only copy and paste what I found citing its sources, hence the effortless of the title. Some items will be only nouns without anything linked to it. may or not may do a […]
#UNI03: The first class: appreciation, ranting, and algorithms
That first day of class! Always so intriguing, full of expectancy (the killer of all joys?) and sometimes overwhelming, but overall: a lovely experience. I might be able to count with one hand and a couple more fingers the times I experienced the positive anxiousness of attending a first class, not knowing who you’ll sit […]
Side projects as side projects
I’ve come to start enjoying side projects as truly secondary activities, without even designating specific time blocks for them. This lets the idea gain maturity in one’s mind, and allows an extensive line of thought before action is made. It allows longer iteration cycles, which might be what separates side projects for non-side projects, product-oriented […]
#UNI02: Functions
A function is sometimes called a machine, or a black box, that takes an input and produces an output by having the input used in different formulas. Functions are tightly coupled with set theory, as their main functionality is to establish a relation between the different elements of two sets. This relationship between elements of […]
Nourishing my screen on time
While I was scrolling on a typical day, I made a reflection and analysis on my screen on time: it was mostly memes, random facts and segregated learning through the same feed that provided the memes. It felt as some kind of senseless void. Looking back to when I felt a connection with the internet […]
#UNI01: Sets, special numerical sets, and real intervals
Sets can be used as a way of avoiding rounding or calculation errors when trying to address the preciseness of a real value, given there are infinite real numbers in between any two real numbers. When specifying a range, one is accounting that the solution might not be precise, but it’s bounded between two endpoints. […]
Developing with no internet 📵
Developing with no internet 📵 Have you tried programming without internet? Creating software is an activity that in practice, it becomes greatly coupled to an internet connection. It is widely spoken about that searching a lot of stuff in the internet isn’t a sign of a bad developer. As devs, we regularly look things up […]
Mind the cache: working with redirects
While refactoring the URL routing tree of a web project, I performed some changes in the route paths and noticed that I was being redirected, so then I remembered that I had redirection rules applied (which, in NextJs, are set on the next.config.js, which I personally find inconvenient). Because I didn’t need those redirect rules […]
