If you’ve ever had the pleasure of using the DJ X feature in Spotify, it does a decent job mixing in some new things I like, but you’re definitely on to something when it comes to …

I’m curious, is the prevalence of SQLite similar to how PHP is widely used because it’s behind many WordPress sites?

this comment resonates with me. I think it’s a common mistake for a lot of folks to forget that programming is a creative task, and creative tasks rarely fit into metrics effective…

let’s not be intentionally naive here; petting zoos sometimes have exotic animals (like zebras) but mostly contain animals like donkeys, sheep, toy ponies, etc. There are many plac…
