When I created this entry using a hugo command, I found these warnings:

WARN  deprecated: project config key languageCode was deprecated in Hugo v0.158.0 and will be removed in a future release. Use locale instead.

And to be completely honest with you, something in my mind asked me to copy the text to an AI and wait for a solution. In fact, I did it. But in the process of waiting for the answer I immediately realized how lazy I’m becoming. I went back to my terminal and I took the time to read line by line. And boom, nothing serious. I only had to replace some deprecated keys.

Yes. Another kanban app.

Description #

Project management tool with a self-hosted backend and a desktop application targeting Linux.

What I’d like to build is:

• Backend written in Rust
• GUI app written in GTK + Rust (Linux only for now)
• Mobile app (maybe in the future)

Motivation #

Kanban + time tracking is a setup I had when I worked in Electronic Cats. They used kanbanflow for that purpose and I really fell in love with that workflow.

Are you familiar with .dlc files? If you have been forced to use JDownloader you may know the format, and you may also know dcrypt.it, a web app to decrypt those files.

But, why do I say “forced” to use JDownloader? It’s because some websites where I get those completely legal download links seem to have a partnership with the tool, and they force me to use JDownloader to provide me the ability to download the content.

I started a transition from Google Photos to Immich around a year ago. My frustration came when some videos and photos appeared at the top of the timeline, and the reason is I took them from WhatsApp groups where friends shared them. I could just use the built-in Immich feature to fix the date, but apparently I took the same decision with Google Photos years ago and now I regret about it.

Note: Script for a YouTube video.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this experiment.

Having a YouTube channel is something I’ve wanted to do since a lot of years ago, so here I am. You know, it’s never too late to follow your dreams, and I definitely don’t want to grow old without having tried.

What I intend to do with this channel is talk about two topics I like a lot, open source software and software development. It could change in the future, of course, but right now it is what I want.

I’m not going to lie, procrastination is part of my work journey. I’m not proud of it, of course, but I have to admit it if I want to improve.

I’ve deleted some of my social media accounts in the last years, including Facebook and Instagram, but YouTube and Twitter are still very important (and very addictive) to me.

I work from home, so you can imagine that it’s so easy for me to take my phone or open a tab on my browser and just do anything except work. And that’s true so many times a day, and the consequence is I have to stay in front of the screen, working after my work hours, because I have to finish the work, of course.

It was yesterday when I finally decided to click the cancel button of my GitHub Copilot subscription. The reason? I feel I’m getting more and more stupid coding with AI.

I truly believe the context matters on the decisions we take, and my context is I’m still a junior developer who feels growing the coding skills is harder in the AI age.

I started to work as a firmware engineer on 2023, already in the AI age. However, the AI models weren’t capable enough to generate good quality firmware code, so I had to figure out a lot of things by myself. I learnt a lot and I’m grateful for that.

Yesterday was my last day as a firmware engineer. I was at that job for a little more than two years or almost three years if I consider my internship time, but despite I enjoyed it, it’s time for me to say good bye.

I studied Electronics Engineering, so I would consider I was working on something related to it on this time, although I honestly prefer programming over circuits design or whatever an Electronics Engineer is supposed to do.

Oh well, I’m writing this after more than three weeks, but I certainly delivered the project I mentioned in the part 1 on time.

To be honest, I believed it would be something easy, but in the second week I realized I needed to spend more hours on it because I underestimate the complexity of the frontend. I don’t know how to explain it, the frontend is full of technologies that does the same, one tool has an alternative and the alternative has multiple alternatives, it was a problem for me who is not in the frontend world. I also surprised how difficult is to create a simple global variable in React, we have to use something called Redux or React Conext to deal with this problem, I read they have some differences and there are probably more alternative out there. Anyway, I was able to find a solution for every issue I had and the frontend looks good in my opinion.

I’ve been working as a firmware engineer for two years, but I don’t make enough money to get the life style I wish, so I’m here, in a big trouble where I have to learn web development for a project I have to deliver this month.

As I said I’m a firmware engineer, the main programming languages I use everyday are C/C++ and sometimes Python. I learned to code with Java tutorials on YouTube on 2018, it gived me the basic concepts of how to write code, but I haven’t used it since then. About the web side, well, I took some courses on YouTube and Udemy when I was in college because I thought it could be my entry point to the software industry, but I only learned some basic stuff again.

Hello, I’m Francisco Torres, a software developer from Mexico. I studied electronics engineering, it is not too related to software development, but I learned programming by myself. Yes, I saw some of C progamming in college, but it was not in a deep way and I didn’t have too many programming related subjects.

I was looking for an internship since 2022 winter. In that time I was almost in my last semester of the university, and I had the option to do an internship while I was studying the last semester. I sent my resume to some companies in Linkedin, but no one called me. It wasn’t something bad for me, because I was still studying and I had time to find a job.
