I did a lot of front end work from about 2000-2015, but I've fallen into almost entirely backend professionally. That said, I still enjoy it and try to keep up. I have a side project SPA I developed using a css pattern I'm calling

Every day I feel more and more like Go mod's decision to use the lowest common version of a dependency rather than the highest was pure wisdom. Not only does it prevent code breaking at rest from poor semantic versioning, it's a

I recently received a DM on Twitter, this person claimed to have known me growing up and had a surprising amount of personal information some of which I don't recall ever having posted online. I have a very good memory of my childhood

I'm coming in a little hot and contrarian. I've been working with the Go JSON library for well over a decade at this point, since before Go 1.0, and I think v1 is basically fine. I have two complaints. Its decoder is a little slow

This. Having worked with it for over a decade the existing one is basically fine. Simple and clean interface. New one solves some niche problems I think were probably just best left to third party libraries,

I have worked in this industry for 20 years and never met a piece of software I would deem "safe". It's all duct tape and spit. All of it. I have had software professionally audited by third parties more than a few times, and

As a decades long time Mac user, when I see something show up in ~/.config it just feels like a maladapted port. It's a similar feel to seeing .dotfiles that are not actually hidden on Windows. Like, whelp, they didn't even b

It's an unpopular opinion, but for better or worse, this is why I think it still makes sense to have a dedicated games machine separate from the main computer. I'm largely a console gamer, so I don't have to worry about EA&#x
