I collected some of my favorite radio stations that you can use to get some awesome music and increase your productivity while coding.

John Hawthorn wrote a nice post discussing a recent tool to incorporate Crystal into your Ruby app. While JH brings an important point, it overlooks certain aspects that are worth consideration. I'll discuss Crystal's real performance and benefits, highlighting why such Ruby/Crystal integration is an indispensable t...

In our age of sophisticated IDEs, cloud-based development platforms, and feature-rich code editors, it may seem quaint to turn to the humble notepad for app development. However, this unassuming tool can actually be a powerful asset in the right hands. Let’s explore the art of using a notepad as a vehicle for buildi...

Creating a Flappy Bird Clone with Ruby — How has it been ten years since Flappy Bird was the hit game of the moment?

A new breed of AI-powered coding tools have emerged—and they’re claiming to be more autonomous versions of earlier assistants like GitHub Copilot, Amazon CodeWhisperer, and Tabnine.One such new entrant, Devin AI, has been dubbed an “AI software engineer” by its maker, applied AI lab Cognition. According to Cognition...

The article demonstrates the importance of using StringComparison options for efficient string comparison in.NET. How you compare strings can significantly impact your application performance. The ToLower method creates a new string memory allocation for each comparison, leading to unnecessary allocations. The OrdinalIgnoreCase option is ideal for case-insensitive comparisons where cultural rules do not apply.

Heap allocations aren’t entirely bad but when an object is allocated on a heap it contributes to the garbage collection cycles which in turn reduces overall application performance. In case of excessive heap allocation, the garbage collector can lead to GC pauses. One approach to optimize resource usage in async code is by using ValueTask syntax.

Developers often make objects instantiated as soon as the application starts or when a class is instantiated, regardless of whether they are immediately needed or not. The.Net makes it easier to implement using Lazy syntax and also safe. To unlock the full potential of your.Net Application, it’s essential to familiarize yourself with the Lazy class.

The article highlights the importance of limiting the concurrent asynchronous operations which in turn improves performance. Prerequisites for Developers include basic understanding of C# programming language and understanding of asynchronous programming using await. The article can be found on GitHub and can be downloaded from: http://www.gitHub.com/uk/sshpinder/30DayChallenge/Main.php.

The article demonstrates the built-in functions while working with file system paths. It makes it easier to handle file paths. The code below provides the path to the Windows My Documents folder equivalent or the user’s HOME directory, regardless of the operating system, including Linux.

In this article, I have compiled some of the most useful developer tools, that will help you to speed up your daily workflow and improve your productivity.

·FollowWe’re in the midst of midterm season and for computer science majors, that means doing what they hate most: coding on paper.There’s no syntax highlighting, auto-formatting, or error messages. You can be 10 lines deep into your solution, realize you’ve made a mistake, and have to erase and rewrite everything.I...

It can autonomously plan and execute thousand-step tasks. It can build and deploy entire software projects all by itself. It can research and fix bugs 7x better than OpenAI's GPT-4, and it trains and deploys its own custom AIs to solve problems.Continue ReadingCategory: TechnologyTags: Artificial Intelligence, Coding, LLM (Large Language Model), Software, Programming

You may have heard of the "The One Billion Row Challenge" (1brc) and in case you don't, go checkout Gunnar Morlings's 1brc repo. I got sucked in because two of my colleagues have entered the competition and are on the leaderboard. PHP is not known for its speed, but as I am working on the PHP profiler I thought I gi...

Monkeying Around With Python: A Guide to Monkey Patching Monkey patching is the practice of modifying live code. This article shows you how its done and why and when to use the practice. KARISHMA SHUKLA

I’m not your typical programmer. While some colleagues chase the mythical “10x” status, churning out code at breakneck speed, I embrace the “0.1x” mentality. You might scoff, thinking I’m a slowpoke, but hear me out.My approach is about more than just lines of code. It’s about building code that lasts. I spend time ...

To celebrate 700K+ listens on DevTunes FM I decided to write an article where I could take you behind the scenes and share some of the most valuable lessons I've learned.

Specialized Python Libraries for Unique Tasks Python gets used for all sorts of stuff. This list of libraries highlights just how much is out there. Ranging from quick UI tools to text search, to movie editing. MARINE GOSSELIN

I'm going to teach you the basics of Lambda Calculus really quickly. Lambda Calculus is deep. But I'm covering only the fundamentals here. What is Lambda Calculus? Lambda Calculus (LC) is a model to describe computations. LC describes the syntax and semantics. Syntax A lambda expression (also known as lambda term) c...

In this article, I compiled a useful list of some of the most popular React component libraries. They are easy to get started with and have great docs.

I've compiled some of the most useful resources for DSAs, interview practice sites, commonly asked technical questions, and sites to build practical projects to help you approach various scenarios with confidence.
