I helped my dad drive across country to move and we stopped by some family who I hadn't seen in over a decade.

One of my relatives who is 12 and who I've never really met has been getting into scratch and JavaScript recently. I didn't know this until that night.

He saw me catching up on some of my work and started asking me about some stuff so we just sat and talked for almost 4-5 hours about computers, software, and math.

I found out later from his dad that no one really knows/talks about computers a ton around him and he's suffered from some loneliness because of that.

Apparently he has been so much happier since that conversation. I didn't really think much about it at the time because I was just chatting about my work but now after the fact I'm really glad that I had the opportunity to help a young developer know that there are people just as enthusiastic about computers as he is.

That's the biggest win I'm going to have all week and probably all year!

Aw wow, that is wonderful. It can be so impactful for kids to have adults in their life model their areas of interest. Great job! Glad it all came naturally :)

I love that! Kids need us, adults, to be a good model. Especially, what they are interested in.

Nextflow is an open source workflow orchestator used principally by bioinformatics

You can execute your pipelines in aws, google cloud, azure etc. I friend of mine propouse to me create a plugin to integrate it in Nomad

Nomad is similar to kubernetes but more simple and light, so is perfect to be used in countries/companies with low budge as Africa.

Cool. I'm just wondering if there's a French programming language, or you always have to code in English.

Yes, hedycode.com is a dialect of Python which you can translate so the keywords are in French (or any other language, Arabic, for example)

It's easier if everyone codes in English so everyone can understand ;)

There's a person who runs a popular youtube channel. I tried to connect to that person multiple times over years to be a guest speaker on said channel. Nothing. Asked for introductions. Nothing. Gave up on that two years or ago.

Yesterday out of the blue that person wrote to me and invited me to speak at said channel. Weird but cool, will be speaking there at the end of the month.

I asked an autonomous AI to :

  1. Learn to send sms by itself from my own laptop
  2. Compose and send sms for me
  3. Overcome errors when they occur

Below the full storytelling :

Late comment. This is a really small win (probably worthless). I finally finished Pokerogue.net Classic mode (roguelike Pokemon). It took blood, sweat and tears to finally get that win (also using META). Fun Fact: The game is open source and made with TypeScript. Pokerogue repo

I can finally focus more on improving my programming skills. I have to resume posting too.

Ciao!

I completed my own webpage. It is very basic, but the fact that I did it by myself and implying what I have been learning so far, makes me so happy. There might be more adds-on this webpage, but today I will celebrate for this success.

Here is the code: [github.com/I-0110/BaratieBBQwebpage]

My win this week was finally finishing a project at work that I have been working on for months. It feels so satisfying to see it completed and to receive positive feedback from my team. Plus, I managed to squeeze in some quality time with family over the weekend, which was a nice balance after all the hard work.
