Dec. 20, 2019: What did you learn this week?

I learned how to translate a program into 42 different languages in less than 4 seconds. Literally 1 week ago, I was totally clueless as to how I was going to do this (you can see the bumpy road in my git history lol). (Future article may be on its way).

(And, although not this week...I did learn a few years ago that Danny Devito likes cars. I met him after the Barrett Jackson car show out here, twice. Nice guy)

Learned how to do a release on the open source product I'm maintaining! It's not the first release ever on the project but it's the first one I've administered and a good learning experience 😁 github.com/unmock/unmock-js/commit...

I learned that things are not always what they say they are.

This is probably a lesson I should have learned long ago, but... Don't trust software documentations.

They just lie to you.

I didn't want to fill my code with try catches, so I implemented it exactly as the documentation told me. I'm now filling my code with try catches after things didn't come the way they told me they would.

I learned that having a technical debt is an awful thing (the hard way, of course) when we couldn't deliver every feature we developed because the code was awfully intertwined and we had a really hard time merging everything together.

Learnt how Event Loop, Timers Works in Node.js and will be deep diving in to it with real life examples.

Se que no es mucho pero en esta semana aprendí a añadir detalles en una fila usando datatables. -_-

How to successfully schedule, record, and edit my first podcast across multiple countries 🎉🎉

Finally went through some Ruby basics after passively using it for a while 🤓
Here's my findings so far
