Perceived Software Complexity – Rodrigo Sieiro

http://rodrigo.sharpcube.com/2012/07/30/perceived-software-complexity

You have a task which starts off seeming simple, then upon further thought and exploration it becomes considerably more complex (with several nebulous unanswered questions). Then, upon still further examination, it becomes clear that the level of refinement of thought has lead to discovering once again that the problem is simpler than it seemed to be. I recently stumbled across this great piece from 2010 by Matt Gemmell and couldn’t help but nod positively at each sentence.

My First Open Source Project – Rodrigo Sieiro

http://rodrigo.sharpcube.com/2011/01/19/my-first-open-source-project

My First Open Source Project. Writing a WordPress plugin is quite simple. There are a few things you need to do to make it a sidebar widget (basically you just have to extend the. Class and implement a few functions) but nothing too complicated. I also took the opportunity to learn how to use AJAX inside a WP plugin, since I didn’t want to refresh the whole page when changing years in the calendar. So there you go: today I’m publishing my first open source project. A WordPress plugin called Month Calendar.

2:40 – Rodrigo Sieiro

http://rodrigo.sharpcube.com/2012/08/01/2-40

I wasn’t unlucky; I was stupid. The next time I made tea I tried 2:40. And the handle was right where I wanted it. A minor victory, to be sure, but a victory I get to repeat every day. I talked about how much I related to this article with my wife and she laughed at how obsessive I am sometimes. I get the exact same result using 2:40 in my microwave. Apparently, most microwaves spin at the rate of 1 full cycle every 10 seconds.  ↩. Posted on Wednesday, August 1st, 2012 at 20:50.

Hello, my name is Rodrigo Sieiro and I’m a software developer living in Uberlândia, Brazil. Maybe you know me as “cheapo”, “thechip”, “rsieiro”. Maybe you don’t know me at all.
