As I mentioned in my first article about utile.space, I was interesting to do some math. https://sonny.alvesdi.as/building-my-personal-swiss-army-knife-services Ok so, how to compute Pi? We are in 2024, so the first thing I did is to ask our favori...
It’s the summer holidays, after all. So I wanted to spent some time with my 7 years old daughter to teach her programming. ⌨️ I spent some time before discussing with her some of the basics concept verbally: the different parts of a computer, and bas...

This article is a follow up on my previous one introducing the concept of SE Spectrum: https://sonny.alvesdi.as/a-better-way-to-discuss Existing solutions For long, the easiest way to run a spectrum was to use visual drawing or diagram tools like ...

Introduction to SE Spectrum

One of the greatest tool available on GitHub is Dependabot. For those not familiar with it, in short it's a bot reviewing your list of dependencies and proposing PRs to update them. https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/getting-started/dependabot-...

In July 2021, I was happily introducing in an article the v0.0.1 of my hobby project: utile.space, a Swiss army knife services website.
At the end of the blog, I was promising to follow up and describing my journey... Today September 2nd, 2024, the website is now at its version 4.5.0....
So we can fairly say that I failed at documenting that project.

Let's be honest I probably over promised...
I tend to be curious and try a lot of things as you probably guessed when going through my blog. So between work, hobbies, family, and more, blogging was always at the bottom of my todo list.
Let's try to repair the situation!
Even if, I need to say it's truly a pity. Because I did face some challenges on my way that I think would have been interesting to share.
For example, I started my front-end with Dart but I quickly gave up. It was three years ago so my memory around that decision is not that fresh. But IIRC I reached a dead-end where I was lacking something to help me binding values between my UI and my view models. I briefly started to build something alike Angular Dart... And quickly felt like I was rewriting the wheel.
I took a step back and decided to give up on Dart.
Anyway, let's just break the spell and I won't over promise or promise anything at all. I just hope I can share some interesting stuff to you in the near future.
