Funnily enough, as someone who absolutely hated my Java classes in college and ending up in a job that made me learn Scala, I just appreciated it as Java but better.

Currently running an internal maintenance mode project with a Scala backend. The odd times I'm asked to look at it, I still find the code very beautiful.

That's the infamous "word.exe" CSGO scandal.

Well that took a wild, albeit unsurprising turn at the end (bringing in race). Though I do still wonder if there ends up being actual material improvements on brain scans being beh…

I've loved tailwind for the colocation of the component HTML and its corresponding styling (never gave up on traditional CSS though!), but with scoped styles I might start leaning …

I feel you. This whole hoo-haa has made me so much more money-minded, and so much less optimistic about Software Development than I was 10 years ago. I just remind myself that it's…

I'm the 18th meow :3 Honestly, think you so much for posting this. I love small and fun projects.

One of the more recent experience I've had pushing a skill from conscious competence to unconscious competence is in a multiplayer video game that involved very large scale fights …

I agree that the technology is fine, and I also appreciate the breadth of tools I can fiddle with and how surprisingly approachable they've become for me (mdn docs are amazing to e…

Of course that's where Busdriver would be!

Youtube Music doesn't auto-play the next track in a radio. On the web, some videos display an error on load, but become viewable once refreshed.

I am younger, being part of online forum communities in the late 2000s (primarily video games and art centric ones) and I truly pine for the era of the internet free from algorithm…

They've (somewhat) recently produced Smiling Friends, a show spear-headed by two creators who had their start in animation in the early youtube era. And I'd say it's pretty success…
