Sounds like the dream job ^_^.

How do people from outside Spain thinks about Spain? and How do you think about Spain?

Saw your thesis and found it quite interesting. I am thinking of typesetting some of the notes I have in Tex.

I am curious what editor/tool you use writing LaTeX? Also what tools do you use for reference management?

I myself use VS Code with LaTeX Workshop extension.

What's your favorite dinosaur?

Would it be something created from scratch? Or would it be an evolution or inspired by an existing language?

Hello Richard,

I actually have two questions 🙂

First Question:
I've been building a sample bluetooth app with electron and nodejs. I was wondering if you could share me some advice debugging it 🙏 . I did publish my issue to NodeSchool quite some time ago : nodeschool/discussions#2410

Second Question:
This bring me to my second question, how do you usually seek quick help online when your stuck on a programming problem. for as long as I known programming , One of my challenges as a self learner is trying to get proper support for my projects. I've tried many ways on doing it witch greatly improve my programming abilities but they are time where it take a month of two to fix one bug, here some of my experiences:

StackOverFlow : for me it was good for very small basic questions but they can't really accept question from projects but from sample part of the code. Many of my question there usually never get answered or whine up answering them by myself you can see some example in my profile : https://stackoverflow.com/users/5731518/black-boy

By Email :There were some questions that I sended through email. For example, the LibreOffice developer support . I remember sending a long description with images showing my current progress trying to use the SDK with at least 3 questions , I never got reply from them(I think it was more than 6 months ago) . I also once contacted the Slack Dev support for using their Oauth2 with an android Library called AppAuth . They did reply quickly but couldn't solve the problem.

By IRC: For me IRC was playing the lottery , you either get a chance to get answer or end up waiting forever but I do believe there some IRC channel that is better than others, just haven't found a good one yet.

and then the're coding Forums , Slack Channels, Communities etc.

They are many projects where I've hit a wall and couldn't advance further such as this repository: https://github.com/blackBoyCode/small-pet-projects

I get the feeling they are better ways of doing it , perhaps I'm not doing it properly.

What are your though?

Thanks for reading.

Any occasion.
