To be a software developer (a.k.a. programmer or software engineer) today, you don’t need a degree in computer science. In fact, computer science really isn’t about “how” you develop software today at all. It’s about how we approach software problems theoretically. And to be frank, you don’t need to worry about computer science theory to be a good software developer today. You just need to know how to solve problems using code, be good at u..

A common problem with many web apps is that it is not easy to share links to another user. This is usually due to the fact that the transient page state is only stored in memory. I ran into this recently with a page in an app that allowed the user to view a parameter over time. The filter parameters (id, startTime, and endTime) were all stored in the component state and so if the user refreshed the page, all of the previous selection was lo..



Reducing costs on infrastructure can often feel like a chore when done in isolation. In this post, we’ll discuss the coordinated process that NextRoll is using to make the effort feel like a full-team project with the satisfaction of having a job well done. Costs have a nasty habit of accumulating over time, usually because of a wide variety of decisions made by disparate teams that were made in the past and never revisited. It’s an ancie....

Highlight Links In Category is a very small MediaWiki extension that applies classes to links based on the links’ targets’ categories. It has a number of incredibly nice use cases; here I give some examples.

Nikita Prokopov, in Software disenchantment : “You don’t have to be a genius to write fast programs. There’s no magic trick. The only thing required is not building on top of a huge pile of crap that modern toolchain is.” Nikita makes a lot of great points about the general decline of software quality, many of which I have made before . It’s nice to hear this coming from someone else. Permalink.

During development of the dashboard I’m making for ClaimR I found myself in the position where I wanted to query a GraphQL endpoint from my backend. (It’s a NextJS powered project, hence the server sided logic is written in Node.) So, I started looking for GraphQL clients but with little success. graphql-request seemed like a match, with what looked like a recent release earlier this year. However, on closer inspection it’s pretty clear tha..

For a short period, I was employed by a company that drove most of its revenue from blogging. Here's what I learned while I was there.





The aim of this project was to display a colour image on a black and white monitor, by overlaying an acetate bayer filter (inkjet printed) over the monitor and mosaicing a colour image. I obtained an Eizo B&W monitor from ebay, which I was intending for use viewing B&W photos and was curious if I […]
