Working on an app that is heavily depended on diacritics is kind of strange. Especially with libraries not always supporting diacritics. Realm I’m perfectly aware it may not be a common request and I don’t blame the guys for not implementing it by default. There are other more pressing issues (array of int & string, […]

Launch the app in more flavors than initially discussed. Then I had to meet a client and the discusson took longer than expected… When […]

My favourites being Vlad Ionescu-Darzeu and Oana Udrea. Really good communication, at one point I forgot to get a call in with them, and they gently reminded me […]

In a previous article written in Romanian, I wrote about how much I hate it when people can’t admit their mistakes or be responsible for what they did. It’s very common for developers to say: this previous guy did a lousy job, i can do it better! Heck even I said it a few times. […]

Fear not, people, i’m not coding naked… but When i was still in college, i used to think that when I will get a job, I’ll always come dressed up nice, maybe with a suit on. I love to suit up. When i got my first job, my boss would come to work in slippers, […]

One being explained here: http://lifehacker.com/281626/jerry-seinfelds-productivity-secret Basically, trying to get into a straight line of writing stuff. Mostly relevant stuff to IT, but i might write stupid rants as well. Anyway, this is what i’m using […]
