'تيس هذا الموسم… لعدم زيارة المواقع

Here’s an interesting tidbit from the life of a web developer.

كنت أعتقد أن الناس سوف تذهب على شبكة الانترنت مع لامعة جديدة أن محمصة / الهاتف / قرص لأنهم وصلوا لموسم العطلات.

كما يبدو, لا أحد يفعل ذلك. وهنا نظرة على أحدث مشاهدات بلدي (لا الفرقة نوع, وأعني بذلك عدد زوار hathix.com):

كما ترتفع روح الأعياد, زيارات لمواقع النزول.

من ما رأيت, يبدو أن هذا هو الحال مع كل موقع الى حد كبير والتطبيق: الزيارات أو التنزيلات انخفاض حاد خلال موسم العطلات. لما يستحق, things return right back to normal once the new year begins.

لماذا انها رهيبة كونها المطور

كما يبدو, هذه هي مجموعة من مبرمجي الكمبيوتر.

النينجا.

هذا ما مبرمجي الكمبيوتر ويطلقون على أنفسهم في الوقت الحاضر. المهنة (if you can even call it that) goes by a litany of none-too-glamorous names, such as developer, programmer, engineer, technician, and more stuff that doesn’t quite make you the most popular guy in the room. Hence, a lot of, إيه, programmers (for lack of a better word) go by ninja or such. Which I find slightly annoyingyou’re writing code, not killing enemies of the emperor. لكنني استطرادا.

اقتراح جذري قليلا للمدارس

I’ve often been asked the questionIf you could be king of the world for a day, what would you do?” First of all, I’d make myself king permanently, but that’s not the point. Here’s my slightly radical proposal that would be the second thing I’d do if I were king for a day.

I’m part of a club that takes out the recycling in our school in the morning. Let me tell you, we collect a lot of paper: if I collect the paper of maybe 15 rooms that haven’t had their paper collected in a few days, I can fill up a whole trash can. Not the small trash cans you have in your house, I mean ones as big as janitors use. That’s a lot.

Yet another rant about Bcc

I just got an email addressed to no less than 78 الناس, and all 78 people’s email addresses were in the To field. You’d think the sender would put all our emails in the Bcc field since, جيد, the recipients don’t really need to know the emails of the other 77 people who got the email. (In its defense, putting all the emails in the To field makes stalking easier, but isn’t that what Facebook’s for?)

I can understand why Cc isn’t that popular: it does the same thing as To, except it carries a different semantic meaning. Most teenagers (and a bunch of adults too) couldn’t care less about the fancy schmancy semantic meaning, so they just use To.
