This week's article is all about developers, yes ... there's something for everyone. How are you? Whit Monday and all that ... yeah well, that's no reason to get up and get to work. What's a slug?

This text was on the home page of the site, but after updating it I decided to move it to the blog? 1998 - Discovering computers At elementary school, I discovered computers. At the time, Windows 95 was the star product, and I fell in love with these machines. A teacher, noticing this growing passion, decided to encourage it by giving me a computer; it was a Compaq, with a 486 processor and 4 MB RAM. At the same time, I got an Amstrad CPC equipped with BASIC, which marked the beginning of...

Oh no, did he say hacker, like too dark, behind black screens and all? Actually, no, in people's minds, a "hacker" is malicious and does some pretty uncool stuff, but actually, no. Hackers are already divided into "white hats" and "black hats", the former being harmless, while the latter are not so nice. This week, we're going to talk about the "hacker spirit". Of course, that's my own definition, and others will have other visions? My definition of the hacker spirit A hack is a "d...

How do I choose my tools? Actual...

If you're like me, you must have ideas every day for projects to develop, code and implement. Most of them will never see the light of day and will remain at the idea stage? But sometimes (fortunately) some of them do become a little more concrete, and for that it can be useful to have a POC. A what?

Hello ?, This week's article is based on something that happened to me recently. During an Ubuntu server update, it seems that the bind9 package, after the update, started to crash after a while. The problem is that on this machine, I need DNS resolution, as it hosts services that need to complicate with other online services like Stripe. So I end up with a call informing me that when it comes to entering the bank card on this Symfony application, well, it doesn't display the form reques...
