I don't know about you but after all this years that I'm into programming (18 year already) I'm still hesitate to call myself good programmer. I have some knowledge and experience but am I really good ?  This question really often return when you look around in net. You founding another awesome looking project that somebody done. In my case is even worse because most of the time it's also done a lot quicker ( I'm 7 years stuck in the same project). Always then I feel a little bit down because there coming other questions like: what you done in all this time, what you achieved and are you really good. I still don't have clear answer how to deal with this mood and thoughts. Do you have any ? If you have I'm really open to listen them. So far I start to thinking that we are in time when a lot of people want to show of their skills and show how better they are than others. I'm sometimes have pity for them when they doing that. Recently I was aske...

So I was digging a little bit more into my issue of TCP/IP on Linux and I found out about socket option: TCP_NODELAY One of description in given link is: 2. For this to be used effectively, applications must avoid doing small, logically related buffer writes. Because TCP_NODELAY is enabled, these small writes will make TCP send these multiple buffers as individual packets, which can result in poor overall performance. ... In my case default behavior created delay because I was basing (probably stupidly) my whole system on fact that each message will be delivered as soon as possible. This option switched everything to expected from me behavior. Of course I don't saying this is solution to all problems and probably introduce me some issues somewhere else. I'm still feel like novice in serious network programming :/ But well as far as project go I'm really happy with all this improvements and knowledge that I gain in meantime of doing them. But well time to re...
