Thanks! The video was funny lol :D

Hi! Author here. I just used the Canvas API with some vanilla JavaScript code. My site is built with Hugo, so I first needed to create a shortcode that allows me to embed .js files I created for simulations directly into my posts. About the code for animations being shown, I didn't write them myself from scratch. I used LLMs to generate them. They are not as accurate as what I had in my mind, but it still worked out fine after some iterations and improved the overall reading experience I believe.

Thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to respond and explain. Thanks

Silverbullet seems really clean and nice, thanks for the recommendation. I might just try it out. :)


I mean, I have seen both sides of the story. People putting too much effort into simplifying things where the product users just do not care about it, as well as people overcomplicating things while implementing features up to the point of the program being non-functioning (or very hard to update).

I would say that it is more about how coupled your field and the product you are building are with it being implemented properly. For some areas, like most of the web or building SaaS, it is not as tightly coupled as for other areas like system engineering, building high-performance products, etc.


I've been using The Corne keyboard for about half a year now. And this is a compilation of my thoughts on where the idea to use such a keyboard came from, the process of making the keyboard, some difficulties I encountered, and my general observations throughout this process. Hope it benefits some people.


Oh! Thanks for reminding me that :)


The thing is, until he said it was a made-up story, I thought it was real. This shows that things like that started to become the real norm.

I also don't think the author is in a victim mentality, it is more like a reminder to other developers that they can do so much better.


Just because the story is believable doesn’t mean that the people who are in the story are without responsibility or fault.

When you get into a lease agreement you should know how to pay going into it. If your landlord doesn’t take a form of payment you can handle you don’t sign the lease in the first place. That’s your life responsibility as a functional adult. Paying rent every month isn’t a surprise. Being low on funds isn’t an excuse and being low on funds isn’t the issue at hand.


Exactly. I use comments either when some inherent complexity is at play or when I've written seemingly weird code and need to make it easier for myself and others to understand why it's hacky.

I generally try to avoid the latter case, but sometimes, especially when I can't afford to refactor, I just do it, and in such cases having comments is just better than having nothing.


I remember playing this when I was a child. Was one of the games I really liked. Good to see it's still alive.

Email: ugur@rugu.dev

I have experience in both backend and frontend development, mainly in fintech but not limited to it.

I've primarily used JavaScript and am well-versed in popular frameworks and libraries like React, Fastify, and Lodash. Have also used other mainstream programming languages (Python, Java, C++, and C) for both recreational activities and university projects in the past.

PostgreSQL has been my go-to database, but I've also worked with Redis, MongoDB, LevelDB, and Prometheus for various projects.

I have experience with sysadmin and DevOps tools, including Linux/Unix, Bash scripting, Git, Docker, and Nix.

I’m a passionate developer who enjoys learning and building new products. Feel free to reach out if interested in collaborating!
