Why do we have so many programming languages? I don’t know about you but this is a question I’m asking myself constantly when I read about new technologies and methods. My opinion is that we have so many programming languages for two basic reasons. The first reason is kinda obvious and it’s called evolution. Our need to build more complex systems, our need to simplify common solutions, the software being available to more people has led us into creating new tools trying to solve those increasingly complicated problems....

One of the basic things that can make a team wither or thrive is the amount of presence of programming ego. It’s our willingness to accept a different opinion as long as it’s owner presents valid arguments to support this opinion.

This was a “one try” video and I’ve left it like this to remind me of things that I should take care for the next one. So…. A while ago when I started learning scala it would have been really helpfull for me to have a small tutorial to introduce me to the initial process of how to create a scala project....

So looking around to improve my knowledge on how DNS works I fell into a “well hidden” chrome functionality that looks really cool!! Chrome tries to resolve urls while the user types (DNS Prefetching) and it has an internal functionality to analyze all the relevant events. Try to type in the address bar chrome://net-internals/#dns A couple of screen shots of two tools included in the functionality… Timeline of events ![dns tool 1]({{ site....
