    Process

    I’ve been developing applications for around 3 years now. Mostly just for fun, and for my personal use. But now, with a new job, I have to work with a team.

    In this job, I noticed myself making a lot of small mistakes repeatedly: Forgetting to push commits before asking for code review, forgetting to set a variable to False before pushing, or outr…

    Code Snippets #0: Deploy when port exists using recursion

    I’m starting a new category of posts called “Code Snippets” where I share code I find interesting.

    In this first installment is a simple code snippet I originally wrote in Powershell to scan a local port continuously and do something when the port is found:

    3		do_something()
    4	else:

    Code Snippets #1: What the heck is hardhat's console.log?

    I was tasked to create ethereum smart contracts in my previous job.

    the library most recommended by other developers to create smart contracts was hardhat.

    to create and debug the smart contracts, I developed them using test-driven-development methods. The tests gave me a way to print out and inspect variables.

    just as I was done with the develop…
