I’ve enjoyed immensely learning Vue in Laracast. It might be the way I learn or that the instructor assumed nothing about my knowledge but it was the first time in my early career when I understood the why for a front end framework. Mind yo

I think the distinction between expected and unexpected errors can easily fall through the cracks and writing code in a way that an unexpected error doesn’t break everything is quite powerful. Golang makes it easy to ignore errors that can

I once went through a “security audit” and I couldn’t help but feeling like all they did was run my site trough ZAP’s automated tests. Even the links and categorization they used where strikingly similar to ZAP’s output. Now, not everybody
