About zlatko

Bio

According to some, I'm avant-garde ;)

I try to stick to software development and engineering topics, often related to application development, but I also shitpost random stuff, occassionally about photography, (usually not more then) react to politics or economics.

My website is https://zlatko.dev but I less completely-infrequently post a photo or two to my photo gallery https://photos.zlatko.dev.

I also used to post at https://pixelfed.social/zlatko, and https://programming.dev/u/zlatko, and I'll occassionally swipe here and there.

My kids and I just made a computer #game! It'll think of a number between 1 and 5, and then let the player try to guess it, until they guess right. We played a few rounds.

We counted, it was 18 lines of (#javascript) code. Then we looked at some other games and programs with a lot more lines of code and thought about how much one can learn to get to that many LoC :)

(FWIW at my company I think we're at like 360k or so.)

So...what program do we build next?

"Why it's necessary to shoot yourself in the foot"

Really good read, I very much agree. When I teach people tech stuff, I try to present things this way. "We can do the stupid simple. Problem solved. Oh, wait, just one more use case?" Problem barely solved. But here's another way..."
