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.

Did I say treat your reviewer as your junior, not senior? Treat your reviewer as your junior, not your senior. It has two benefits:

  • if they actually are junior, you'd want to simplify whatever code is being reviewed. If you have to explain half the world about your change, then it is probably too complex anyway.
  • if they're senior, but you treat them as a junior, you can push back more freely. You can defend your decisions more willingly, and not just blindly follow stupid ideas by some asshole senior. (Speaking from the asshole senior perspective here, to be clear).

It makes you more certain in your changeset - if the review comments make sense, you'll do them, but not all of them do.

Hey people, did you know fediverse (at least, gotosocial) can encode html non-breaking spaces? Like, if you type in "wordother word", it'll collapse the spaces. If you type in a few consecutive nbsp's, it'll work.

  • that's &, followed by the r letters nbsp and ended with a ;
  • type it out, then copy-paste it several times after one another
  • xxx
  • profit!

Thank you *drops mic

P.S. feel free to reply to this toot to experiment and get it right.
