If you are thinking about abstraction, design patterns, and programming principles while you are programming, then you are not really programming. Rather you are wasting time fantasizing, not solving problems. The end goal is always to have good working code, not code that has been bent, twisted, and shoved into formations and structures in order to fulfill the vanity of someone living in a fairy tail. https://unixsheikh.com/articles/when-abstraction-design-patterns-and-principles-leads-to-spagh
Frontend developers are pushing JavaScript as though the web could not function without it. The fact is that JavaScript is one of the top reasons for security breaches on the client computer and client mobile phones, it is a plague that turns privacy into a public exhibition, and it has paralyzed the industry in such a way that you can hardly find a website that doesn't display "the white screen of death" if JavaScript has been disabled in the browser. https://unixsheikh.com/articles/stop-pushin
Some people complain about the logging capabilities of the Go standard library log package, but I not only find it adequate, I really love it. https://unixsheikh.com/articles/go-logging-that-matters.html
On Hacker News, Reddit, and elsewhere, people often ask about favorite note-taking methods. In this post I share mine. https://unixsheikh.com/articles/my-favorite-note-taking-method.html
Object-oriented programming is all about organizing of code. It is an extension of procedural programming, and it is about avoiding a global scope and about sharing resources between functions. Let's take a look at some of the object-oriented features of Go. https://unixsheikh.com/articles/go-understanding-the-object-oriented-features-with-structs-methods-and-interfaces.html
In Go you have to deal with both errors and panics and while some people consider it one of the worst things about Go, I think it demonstrates exactly how well designed and carefully crafted Go is. https://unixsheikh.com/articles/go-errors-and-panics.html
A bad trend is becoming a standard at more and more tech companies when interviewing candidates for job positions as more and more people report ridiculous code testing and absurd tech questions. https://unixsheikh.com/articles/job-interviews-in-web-development-gone-haywire.html
Usually we regard the phrase "the modern approach" as something that denote improvement over time, something that has changed to the better. However, the phrase "the modern approach" are often abused and we must be careful to separate fact from hype. https://unixsheikh.com/articles/when-the-modern-approach-is-nothing-but-hype.html
As an operating system GNU/Linux has become a mess because of the fragmented nature of the project, the bloatware in the kernel, but mainly because of the manipulation by corporate interests. There exist several technical reasons for when a migration from GNU/Linux to BSD make sense, but this article isn't about that, it's an "analyzes" of the current status in Linux-land, and it is an opinionated rant, more than anything else. https://unixsheikh.com/articles/why-you-should-migrate-everything-fr
After I posted the first part of this article it got posted on Hacker News, Reddit and Lobster, and someone made a response. This second part of the article is my response to that. https://unixsheikh.com/articles/why-you-should-migrate-everything-from-linux-to-bsd-part-2.html
