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.

I find really amusing the software troubleshooting assistance I get from my wife. Like, I ask her "why does the handler here capture the event two times, when the logs clearly see only one trigger?"

I don't even give her a context, just a sentence out of the blue, and she's not a techie, she doesn't understand most of the stuff I do at work.

But she often accepts the game and just answers with a random "have you tried turning it off and on again" or "try deleting something" or repeat-and-negate a part of my sentence.

And then I step back and find that this leads me to a new way of thinking about the problem, and often, to a solution.

Maybe she's really so much better at software engineering then I am that I don't even understand how good she is.
