Starting the day realizing that DocumentFile.createFile does not behave the way I thought it did and fixing that in Hackers Diet Offline.
While I was in there I fixed parsing floats with a , instead of a . as well as moving local backup creation to the proper place so local backups are no longer truncated. Yay!

Good morning!

I'm creating my own social media management tool, and tonight I'll try to implement video support—right now, it only does images. I'm excited but also wondering if I've made the right design decisions. Will it be hard? A pain, or enjoyable? It feels like a new episode of Game of Thrones! Guess I'll figure it out later. Should I grab a beer? #Tech #BuildInPublic #ProgrammerLife

What is an API?
A Singaporean Developer’s Perspective

If you’ve ever wondered how apps, websites, or systems magically talk to each other, congratulations — you’ve just stumbled into the nerdy world of APIs. Don’t worry, I’m here to hold your hand through this digital jungle.

Before you start imagining APIs as a secret society of programmers in black hoodies, let me clear that up.

What is a Cookie?
Not the One You Eat!

If you’ve ever browsed the web and wondered, “Why does this site seem to know me better than my best friend?” — you’ve just met cookies. Not the chocolate chip variety (though those are delicious too), but the tiny data packets that live in your browser. Let’s unwrap this digital mystery, shall we?

Stop Telling Me Your Sob Stories to Bring Down the Cost
Just negotiate directly, we are all adults

As a software developer in Singapore with decades of experience, I’ve heard it all. From “It’s just a small app” to “We’re a startup trying to make it big!” — clients have come to me with tales so dramatic, they could rival a Netflix series.

Diary of a Software Developer · Stop Telling Me Your Sob Stories to Bring Down the CostBy Anees Khan

Za 15 let v #it jsem se tu potkal s pěti ženami - programátorkami. Bez výjimky jsme si je v kolektivu hýčkali. Přesto u fochu zůstala jen jediná (co vím). Ostatní se posunuly dál: scrum master, manažerka, grafička, výrobce veganské zmrzliny :)
Vůbec proto nechápu, kde se bere ta představa, že žen v IT je málo kvůli nějakým předsudkům nebo šovinismu. Možná to prostě nechtějí dělat...
