Hi! 👋 I'm Scott, aka Thissa! I'm a technology enthusiast from BC, Canada. By day I build software used to run medical labs in #Python. But when I'm not doing that I'm often watching #Anime or #Gaming.
Meanwhile, in an alternate reality, PDP-10 assembly language reigns supreme as the most widely used programming language in the world. #programming#alternateuniverse
What’s the difference between two dates in hours and minutes? When does a 90-day warranty that starts today expire? When is the next Friday the 13th? Swift can answer these in just a few lines of code — find out how!
Every single day convinces me more and more that IDisposable interface is one of the most disastrous things in C#. So easy to screw up in so many ways...
Was suggested #Obsidian by multiple friends yesterday as a note taking app. Currently I use #Typora, but I'm interested to see what this has goin' for it.

One area I find a lot of software engineers and even software companies lack is a good periodic communication to users. I see a lot who simply point at a commit log, a stack of closed bugs, or release notes and call it a day. Some just don't provide any insight at all.
Something simple like a curated, reliably monthly newsletter can go a long way in informing users of key updates, building a stronger community, and even just letting users know that the lights are still on.
Hello, #Fediverse! I am Ivan Rodriguez. I am a college student in #Amarillo, #Texas. I am learning to become a full-stack #webdeveloper, and although I have not used all of them, I know the basics of many of the mainstream #programming languages (see the color-coded doughnut chart below).
Besides programming, I am an ameture #journalist (when I have the time and energy to do so), and I like learning more about the world.
59 years ago today, the first computer program written in #BASIC was run.
The easy-to-learn and -use #programming language revolutionized #computing. A decade later, #BillGates would co-found #Microsoft to develop and sell the BASIC interpreter for the #Altair 8800, the first commercially successful desktop microcomputer.
