Fluent English

Rude but truthful…

I’m back and this time I’m here to comment on the latest frustrations I’ve been facing working as a Security DevOps Engineer for the past year or so…

The programming world is a global community, with developers and teams working together from all around the world. As a result, clear and effective communication is essential to ensure that projects are completed on time and to the highest quality. Unfortunately, many developers struggle with their English language skills, which can have a significant impact on the quality of code.

One of the main ways in which poor English skills can affect the quality of code is through misunderstandings. Developers may struggle to understand instructions or requirements, leading to mistakes and errors in their code. This can also lead to delays in projects, as developers may need to spend additional time trying to understand what is expected of them.

In addition to this, poor English skills can also make it difficult for developers to collaborate effectively with others. Developers may struggle to understand code written by other team members, leading to confusion and delays. They may also find it difficult to explain their own code to others, which can make it difficult for others to understand and maintain the code.

Another way in which poor English skills can affect the quality of code is through the use of poor documentation. Developers may struggle to write clear and concise documentation, making it difficult for others to understand and use their code. This can also make it difficult for others to understand how the code works and how to troubleshoot any issues that may arise.

In order to address these issues, it’s important for developers to work on improving their English language skills. This can be achieved through a variety of methods, including language classes, online resources, and practice with native English speakers. Additionally, companies and organizations should provide opportunities for developers to improve their English skills, such as language classes or mentoring programs.

In conclusion, the lack of good English skills in the programming world can significantly affect the quality of code. It leads to misunderstandings, delays, and difficulties in collaboration. Therefore, it’s essential for developers to work on improving their English language skills, and for companies and organizations to provide opportunities for them to do so. Clear and effective communication is vital for the success of any project, and should be given the attention it deserves.

Tribute to Dune

In light of waiting for the new movie by Dennis Villeneuve, Dune, I felt like posting this.

Frank Herbert’s Dune is literally one of the most full, articulate and solid Science Fictions books I have ever read. Honestly, I just can’t get enough of it! Plot, characters, setting, scenery, scenario, it is amazing!!!

The downside is I’m never happy with the movies though. The most serious approach (even though the director literally denied the word serious), was by David Lynch, in 1984’s Dune…

David Lynch’s Dune 1984

It was a good movie, but only for the fans… Very slow, with a lot of strange scenes, but it was something… The rest of the attempts are simply not worth mentioning.

Super excited with this movie!!

While we are waiting for this, I remembered my primary school games, and this blew my mind…

Trib-une, a TRIB-ute to d-UNE

Only the best strategy game I could play back then… I think it revolutionized modern gaming…

Mac OS Spelling

Just putting it here in case someone bumps into it, and is stumped.
I recently changed and got a macbook. I moved from linux and one of the nice features I jumped to mac os were, seeing a misspelled word, right click -> see the suggestion, and correct it.

Problem started appearing when I updated to the new Catalina 10.15.4.

After that update, I started noticing that even though my words were being checked for spelling (showing an underlined squiggly line), when I was right-clicking, I kept receiving a Loading suggestions and nothing appearing as a suggestion.

I tried everything.

Resetting the dictionary, following apples suggestion, nothing seemed to work. In the end I gave up.

Had another fresher look and did the following:

System Preferences > Language & Region:

I noticed I had two preferred languages

I removed the “second” preferred language, and restarted my mac.

It worked

My suggestions started working agan!

I hope this helped!
