I argue that people almost turn to the robot mode when they are subject to a very mundane routinic type of daywork. Robot or the executor mode is the safest bet: you don’t get to think a lot, you don’t get to take risks, you just rebeat and always take-on the easy routes. That is fine and can get things done. You don’t necessarily want your Tirhal driver to be creativing about driving… ...

I just noticed the single thing i have been dreaming to have is a matt. That is ridicluos i know, but I digged a little bit deeper to understand why. Settlement. The reason i have been so focusing on the matt is that i truly wanted to settle, to have a home and the feeling that comes with it. But i couldn’t get anyone. Now, i actually have the money to buy a matt, a nice lovely good one. But, i resent it. I’m not feeling well deep down and the matt (with all of the lovely feelings i imagine wih it) is totally against what my current state of mind is. I’m in a mess, a huge fucking mess… ...

Sometimes i legit be wondering about life. What is life? What is the whole point? What is the point of living? This is not a question that i can answer, nor is it a warning sign about my mental situation. I’m good thank you. But, this mundane, routine thing is becoming extremely irritating. An important person to me used to say that they were a virtual person in the process to become an individual. I think it was a quote from a movie that i never get to watch. What does it truly mean to become an individual? Is it worth it either? I’m afraid i’m even wind up losing that virtual person in the process of becoming an individual… ...

The fact i still have my ex’s gifts is nothing short of a surprise to me. i still have: her mug a lovely backpack an oracle speaker pocket shoes jalabya على الله Up until a few days ago, i kept a present i was meaning to give it to her (though i didn’t), before i gave to a friend. The truth is, i suck at keeping things around, i mean even if i want to, it is just so difficult for me to keep things. i’m not that type of people, but when it came to her i just couldn’t. And it only gets weirder as i rarely use any of those items: ...

Just to confirm: i have dated before, i kinda did the whole process so i’m very well familar with how dates are practically been conducted. The only problem is i usually was more or less invited to the dates and that what is making things this complex. Why dating has became more difficult? Or, is it just me? Well, this really and truly is a personal issue, but one way of reasoning about the issues i ran into – the bugs, is by speaking them out loud (usually to myself or with a colleague / friend, but you gotta do what you got.) ...

Let’s talk about hiring. Also hiring’s nuts. i have listened to Mohamed Mudather’s video about hiring (Kutti is the CEO of Orooma, popular recruitment company in Sudan). One of the things he mentioned: you don’t have to have your guy at said company to hire you and companies are struggling to recruit candidates. So, if that was the case, then why engineers and even great ones are struggling to get hired? Well, Kutti noted companies hire based on internal recommedations, like let’s discuss tech companies and how the process usually work (from my own experience and some empirical observations): ...

i’m back to writing again. Hooray! Something’s been coocked aight? Today i want to talk about a few things i hate about programming. Lots of enthusiastic programmers fall into this trap that is: 🥁🥁🥁 clean code! I don’t know of anything that is as subjective as clean code. You just cannot say whether this code is clean or not. It doesn’t make sense at all. java fuck java. Honestly, whenever i have a conversation with a java developer and no matter how senior they are it is always the same topics: best practices, clean code, and design patterns. They are all shitty, 90s terminologies! ...

There is nothing inherently special about love. But it is still there, it hurts us, it touches us deeper than any feeling there is. I wish i could explain what love is, i wish i could find that right formula to show y’all that this is love. But i don’t think i have that answer nor that i’m interested to acquire that answer anymore. in life you are always just one step further from meeting their love of life. ...

I worked with some Non Government Organizations (NGOs) for some time, not too much to draw any conclusion, but long enough to get to notice some patterns. They are all seem to be well spoken, smart, and have it figured out. They know what they are doing, and they all have this same accent, for the lack of a better word. The problem when we all have the same perspective, the same way of thinking, the books method. That very structured way of thinking make it very hard to make breakthroughs, and, well, address problems that has not been address before. Addressing new problems is the core function of most of ngos since they deal with community problems, and community problems are always changing and quite very hard to model. ...

Ok, that was really too dumb of me. But let us see how sockets, files, and all that works. AND HOW things go south. I will basically walk you through my thinking process to get into this error. 6:00 AM I was called very early in the morning from the client. That is usually a bad sign. The client was complaining that the server was down. In fact it is never the server is down. That never is the case, but there is that. I took it from there and sshed to the server. Strike 1: we don’t have any monitoring system in-place to alert for any such incidents. If i make those into 7 strikes, i will confess to my crush – back to business. ...
