JSON handling (extrapolated)

Json can be a great pain in the memory:) .I've worked with JSON files up to 4 GB ,and believe me ,regular text editors start overflowing ,its like the whole PC gets frozen on JSON ,like its importing data not just loading it .


It took me a good day about 18 hrs to figure out there is a great json viewer ,and guess what its called ,"JSON viewer"



Except that its made by MiTeC .so its called MiTeC  JSON viewer . It loads the script not in a text editor but just a neat and dev friendly environment ,you can see distinctly icons that differentiate between the super objects blocks ,elements and attributes.

It also doesn't deny you from looking at in neat text if you want to copy it without editing ,and still it doesn't lag a second.



Now it also has an editor button, if you press it ,it will take some time to show the text but it isn't an awful amount of time ,I've hidden some of the JSON info here as it was for a critical client ,so don't worry that isn't a feature of JSON viewer.

Download it from here :- https://www.mitec.cz/jsonv.html

So do I just accept the 10 sec wait till the editor shows up .... well my dev instincts just couldn't accept it and .I searched even more ,I know vs code is good at it ,specially the latest version ,which initially came with blurry font and changing theme colors when zooming , but thats ok :). So I did search for an editor that is just light when it comes to editing JSON not viewing ,so I kept surfing online over the dev communities from the wilderness of stack-overflow  to the mountains of GitHub  to the dungens of the deep web <well this last one was an exaggeration :) .Till I found it ,"NotPad2-mod" developed by German dev who refuse to make anything like it again . rizonsoft on Git,I downloaded the initial release as it was just 1mb and told him that the new version of Notepad3 doesn't have good code folding features then he decided to just remove the whole repository ,but not before I got it :P  .




There are alot of cool features in folding you can use alt-left/right for folding unfolding ,as well as alt-up/down to go to the next folding point and ctrl-alt-let/right to fold/unfold the point and all its subfolding points.

I lost the installer but I've kept the app just in case you have a 64 bit PC like all normal dev beings .

Any other option like Json buddy may require ringing the nickles and thats not so efficient .

Optimal Laptop Specs

  For programming there is an idea that the device optimally needs to be like a gaming laptop or have alot of processing power , when compiling really doesn't take as much from the developer's time as coding does . For programming specially for applications that aren't games the requirements of the processor doesn't have to be so much , in fact a low end processor like an i3 10th gen can be more than enough and I would even recommend because overheating is our real enemy since if the processor overheats , no matter how fast it is , the performance will go down quickly ; when we developers tend to stay for a long time , and most of that time isn't in graphically intensive tasks.  Quick access memory is equally important.  So here are the main problems I think we face  : - 1 - Over heating over a long period of time  2 - Slow access to memory ( internal and external)  3 - Eye pain 4 - High memory on the main disk

The marriage of Intuition & Logic

Veiled Virgin" by Giovanni Strazza (1876) Fig 1  endless-column by Constantin-brancusi Fig 2 Today you can see examples of abstract or intentional art  , music sometimes carries a meaning and needs to get in line with a rhythm , same thing for coding , some programmers like to mess around with new ideas like myself , others try to just keep it within the rules even if their solution isn’t the best .  Both approaches have their pros and cons and need to be implemented if we want a holistic approach. I recommend you follow Collen Galen (a high rank top performer in coding competitions) , in this video he describes very well the relationship between intuition and logic and how he needs to put his intuitive ideas to the test by logic which takes time but is absolutely worth it . When I started coding I relied on my intuition more than logical representation of things like the problems , goals and the tests I needed to implement . This made all my initial work spaghetti like and not

The clean hands strategy

Testers can be a great bug inside the developer's head .Vis-versa is also true ,there is no reason why people should lose their friendship because of code .The code needs to be regarded as a separate entity that doesn't belong to the developer.The dev has to tell the tester ,"Man this code has its own personality ,its like an artificial intelligence thing you know ".This is the first step because testers think the developers are doing it on purpose ,like they know the problem but don't think right because regression is always there.Or because the dev is a lazy coke addict . Devs also have a paradigm about testers ,they think testers are always seeking to find their bugs not only in code which some devs consider their property but in the dev himself .They think the tester is a spoiled brat who nags about the existence of a red asterisk or a stylish title in the middle of the night,not knowing the amount of hard work that was necessary for more important stuff
