Computer nuovo: Benq Joybook S53.
Problema nuovo: la scheda audio non e' supportata da linux.

Inizia un nuovo rapporto con la community (aaah... i tempi di Jubble Bobble) che, come al solito, non delude. Robaccia varia: (Link) e (Link).

Lo scopo? Colorare di verde tutte le feature supportate dal portatile in questa lista (Link) (Thanks, Alessio!)

E il mio tributo (spero di riuscirci) e' quello di provare - si, forse a caso... - a scrivere (o modificare) il driver Alsa. Ce la faro'? :)

Tiro righe nel framework

2006-04-07 17:15:40

Assolutamente, mi sono stancato.

Non mi e' mai capitato fino ad ora ma, per la prima volta, mi pento amaramente di essere un programmatore. Ma forse e' solo il contesto storico sbagliato, quello che vivo.
Il fatto e' che si produce quello che si vende (attenzione... nemmeno quello che potrebbe vendere) e, quindi, una piccola fetta di software che, il piu' delle volte, e' la replica della replica della replica. Perche' le cash-machine sono sempre meno.
Inoltre le tecnologie proprietarie, assolutamente user friendly e programmer enemy, framework pesantissimi, lenti e intestabili e, cilliegina sulla torta, non documentati (nemmeno fosse un progetto freeware... o opensource - mito da sfatare, ormai.) sfoggiano loghi sfarzosi ammaliando come un polpettone per famiglie in TV.
Non c'e' piu' rischio. Tecnologie collaudate e pesanti come sassi. Muoversi su binari per produrre l'ennesimo clone. Clone di quello. Clone di questo. Perche' e' gia' venduto. Ma forse c'era anche "gratis".

E sforzi. Sforzi disumani. Viaggiare chilometri per qualcosa di non documentato. Errori randomici che portano via ore di sonno. E nessuna riga di codice. Righe. Diagrammi. Log. Log. Log.
Vedi l'errore ma non tocchi il codice. Non ti senti padrone. Non ti senti nemmeno un privilegiato. Nemmeno da parte della macchina.

Nel momento, poi, in cui la vita diventa ancora piu' importante, non ci si puo' permettere di sentirsi inutile. Divertirsi a farla, visto che e' obbligatorio farla.

Insomma: non vivo certo la culla dello sviluppo, dell'innovazione. Come sognavo da piccolo, con il mio Commodore 64, davanti al READY. Sognavo di trovare i codici segreti, scrivendo programmini che "simulavano l'accesso alla banca", pronta per essere hackerata a colpi di RND()... ma alla fine... tiro righe nel framework, che sembra una figata da film cyberpunk... ma, credetemi, un tossico per lo meno, gode un pochino prima di distruggersi i neuroni.

Si. Sono un po frustrato e ce n'e' ancora di strada da fare.
Facciamola, finche' serve. Ma sogno di scrivere codice fresco come acqua di fonte e ardito come un melo nel deserto.
