About JakeStone

Transplant from Texas now living in the SF Bay area. Overall lurker, but I find 2-3 articles a year where I feel like responding.

I do a little bit of many languages in the backend, but I love my C#, but I don't disparage my roots of PHP, Perl, Shell scripts, etc. especially since they currently keep the bills paid. I also collected some of the trading cards for Lua, Python, x86 Assembler, F# and such, but never got into them that far.

If you've got something going on, I'm generally open to hearing about it.

If someone wants to play with hexagons in C#, or just criticize my code, checkout:

    During an exit interview as I was going to a new job, they let me know my coverage was good until the end of the month. Me, never able to not say something stupid, "Got it. Don't g…

    Yeah... No. I can get some useful results from codex at work, because I have to, except for when I don't. I accept that risk factor and compensate by reviewing _everything_ it spit…

    If Claude ends up grabbing my C# TOML library, in my defense, I wrote it when the TOML format first came out over a dozen years ago, and never did anything more with it Sorry.

    Not unexpected, but it looks the oldest kid, Ingress, is being ignored again. IIRC, there was some badge you could earn by doing a number of those scans. Or is Ingress even still a…

    I've got big monitors, that I hook up to my work laptop and my own laptop. I make it work with a kvm hub. It's really sweet, for my use. I keep a browser, an IDE, and a terminal pr…

    It's ridiculous that this has to be done. I'm honestly speechless. But thanks for the magnet link.

    I agree with never deploying a .git folder to prod. Part of our deployment script for sites has something like: git clone -d 1 -b $BRANCH https://blahblah.tld/project rm -rf .git* …

    I've not had that kind of experience in over 30 years. I'm a bit older now, and I would hope that my response would be something similar to: Me: "Am I under arrest?" No: "I would l…

    I should be getting my physical copy on Tuesday. Physical so that Bezos can't have it edited or deleted from my Kindle. Good job, Zuck! I didn't even know this book existed, and li…

    I didn't know that, but I'm glad I have my MacBook in clamshell mode with an external camera with a physical cover. I mean, I appreciated the little green light, but the fact that …

    I have a regular prescription I have gotten refilled at Kaiser Permanente for years. I use their online site and get my meds mailed to me. It may have been 2 years ago or so, but t…

    That was fun. Got it by 2:00, but also played a few hunches with a cowboy move here and there that may have saved time. Still not going to convince me to respond to Slack that quic…

    No verifiable sources cited, just large amounts of scary percentages. If everybody is pirating, then everything will go away. We've heard this since cassette tapes, video tapes, de…

    I call it the "flower" key, mainly due to the response I got from a couple other devs when I switched from years of Windows to doing some Mac stuff, and didn't know that it was cal…

    Well that could explain why there was a kerfluffle when checking my Advent of Code account earlier. It worked a few minutes later, so all good.

    DGGRID was very useful for me when I first started experimenting with hexagon partitioning. One of my projects is using the Dymaxion projection, which H3 uses, and I've found H3 to…

    A couple of years ago, I got some email about a possible job. Salary range listed was $50K-$2M. Deleted that one quickly.
