‘Tis the season… to not visit websites

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

Vi mislite da bi da bi ljudi ići na internet s tom sjajnom novom telefon / tablete / tostera su dobili za vrijeme blagdana.

Očigledno, nitko ne da. Evo pogled na moje najnovije hitove (Ne bend putovanja, Mislim broj posjetitelja hathix.com):

Kao svečani duh ide gore, posjeta na web stranice ide dolje.

Iz onoga što sam vidio, čini se da je slučaj s prilično mnogo svake web stranice i app: posjeta ili preuzimanja naglo smanjiti tijekom blagdana. Za ono što je vrijedno, things return right back to normal once the new year begins.

Zašto je super biti programer

Očigledno, these are a bunch of computer programmers.

Ninjas.

That’s what computer programmers are calling themselves nowadays. The profession (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, er, programmers (for lack of a better word) go by ninja or such. Which I find slightly annoying – you’re writing code, not killing enemies of the emperor. But I digress.

Nešto radikalno prijedlog za škole

Ja sam često pitao pitanje “Ako bi mogao biti kralj svijeta za jedan dan, Što biste vi učinili?” Najprije, Ja bih li bio kralj trajno, ali to nije točka. Evo moje malo radikalni prijedlog koji će biti druga stvar bih učinio da sam kralj za jedan dan.

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:e

I just got an email addressed to no less than 78 ljudi, 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, dobro, 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.
