Personal life

I turned 44 on Sunday 24, so now I'm officially older than my grandfather. It's funny thinking that me and my father are older than he was. He lived through the '40s to the '70s, saw a world war and the reconstruction of a nation… He probably lived more lives in his 43 years on this earth that I'll ever live.

Time is relative for sure. If you have a PhD in physics, sorry for the joke.

The "Gone" book I'm reading is not that bad, but it's reeealllyy teenager material: I'm going to finish this one, but I'm not going on with the series: I don't think is going to grow and get more mature alongside the reader like Harry Potter books.

I bought myself a pair of Moondrop Space Travel 2: they sound really good for their low price.

Code

It was a quiet week, a lot of people were still on holiday leaves. Still working on a Python/Vue project and man, it really hurts. I don't get why Python is so popular: the syntax is verbose, it's slow as hell, concurrency is a joke… and yet is the number one language for AI… go figure. On the other hand, Vue is one of the worst framework I have ever worked with: it's hard to figure out who changed a ref, computed hides its reactive dependencies, errors in the browser console are hard to understand. I don't like it at all.

I keep going on with my Rust studies, even if I find quite hard to understand why programming should be so hard. I mean, it's obviously hard to solve a complex problem by itself, why should I have also to struggle against the language?

I also worked a bit on another Babashka script for waybar widgets, a tailscale simple monitor. I'm going to publish a git repo with all these scripts on week 35.
