Nearly a couple of weeks since the last Bending Emacs episode, so here's a new episode: Bending Emacs Episode 8: completing-read In this video, we take a look at the humble but mighty completing-read function. We can use it to craft our purpose-built tools, whether in pure elisp or to interact with command-line utilities. Of interest, I also highlighted the great elisp-demos package, which extends your help buffers....

The Magit package for Emacs is my Git UI of choice, and git worktrees are very convenient. They mesh up particularly well by adding the built-in magit-insert-worktrees to magit-status-sections-hook. With this, the magit status buffer shows a summary of the branch/HEAD/path of all worktrees, and allow jumping between them in a flash. 1 2 ;; Show all worktrees at the end of the status buffer (if more than one) ( add-hook 'magit-status-....

I think there are many. Some examples: * The fastest code is the code you don't run. Smaller = faster, and we all want faster. Moore's law is over, Dennard scaling isn't affordable any more, smaller feature sizes are getting absurdly difficult and therefore expensive to fab. So if we want our computers to keep getting faster as we've got used to over the last 40-50 years then the only way to keep delivering that will be to start rut....

AI can replace most of programming, but programming isn’t the job. Programming is a task. It’s one of many things you do as part of your work. But if you’re a software engineer, your actual job is more than typing code into an editor. The mistake people make is conflating the task with the role. It’s like saying calculators replaced accountants. Calculators automated arithmetic, but arithmetic was never the job. The job was understandi..

Modern Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines demand machine-to-machine authorization, but traditional web-based flow requires manual steps and often rely on static credentials; a major security risk. Heroku AppLink now uses JWT Authorization to solve both: enabling automated setup and eliminating long-lived secrets. In today’s evolving threat landscape, security attacks increasingly exploit systems that rely on […] ..

20 years ago on the 11th December 2005 I had just got up and was walking down our hallway when there was a massive explosion and it literally felt like the whole roof had been lifted off and landed back down again. The heavy wooden loft door was blown open and we later found it had buckled our patio doors.

In 2021 I wrote an article encouraging people not to build general purpose APIs for their own front-ends. (You should probably read it before reading this one.) It got featured on Hacker News twice, albeit with a worse reception (and more heated discussion) the second time around. My guess is, more front-enders showed up. 😛 Having observed this approach for 6 years, I’ve only grown more confident in its success. Part of that confide....
