Git is a DVCS, but many companies have a build server/cluster that depends on Github or Codeberg being available. Teams I've worked on for the last several decades aim to push 10-2…

My first programming position was a summer job while in college. I worked for a small company that specialized in Stage 1 research grants, and they had secured funding from NIH (US…

That's a great point, and a fair criticism!

One of the tricks that we can use as good managers is code ownership. The folks who wrote the code are the ones who get to fix the bugs in the code. While they’re busy fixing their…

This sounds like it's worth a blog post. I'm sure lots of folks, including me, would be interested in the details of which plugins to maximize utility, and what the deploy process …

The precommit checks I run are: - end-with-blank-line: normalize file endings - find-do-not-commit: do not commit files that include "DO NOT COMMIT" - lint-code: run `$REPO/scripts…

Here's what gemini says about running hooks in parallel: > Native Git traditionally executes hooks sequentially. However, you can achieve parallel execution by leveraging dedicated…

You are correct: git 2.54 supports multiple hooks via a the git repo and global configuration files. Git-multi-hook predates that, but I updated it to use the new 2.54 config-based…

Glad you enjoyed playing. It was an amazing journey building the game, and I’m grateful so many folks appreciated the experience we created.

You are correct, I will amend that. I do think that locks you out of a lot of the plugin ecosystem if using it as a static site generator, yeah?

Glad you’re enjoying it. It started as a tool for my own motivation, and I’m so glad it’s helped you too :)

That is awesome! Congratulations on completing so many — and such a big streak! Good luck on your journey to the 20k, and let me know if you need any features to make it work for y…

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the articles. I wish I had the motivation to write more!

Tools I’ve built for myself: - sandvault https://www.codeofhonor.com/projects/sandvault/ runs agents in a separate macOS user account, hardened with sandbox-exec. It also supports …

revenue != margins There are 20,000 games released per year that split all that revenue, minus the cost of building those games.

There must be something in the air, because I just migrated away from WordPress & Bluehost too: https://www.codeofhonor.com/blog/migrating-away-from-wordpre... . I'm so much happie…

I've tried a lot of editors, including Zed, and always come back to Sublime Text. I use it every day. The #1 reason is because it never loses unsaved files (though I'm still workin…

Oh, and I forgot to mention that pause had to be synchronized across the network, so the pause button would pause for all players. And in the "this is why we can't have nice things…

While I don't have the original code, it's something along the lines of this: // for each palette entry: pal.r = pal.b = pal.g = (byte) (0.299 * pal.r + 0.587 * pal.b + 0.114 * pal…

One of the fun features that I developed for Warcraft (the RTS) was to fade the screen to grayscale when the game is paused. Since the game uses a 256 color palette, it was only ne…

I so hate the videos YouTube shows me that I wrote a plugin to place a white box over videos called TubeGate [0], which I open-sourced [1]. It does keyword-based filtering so you c…

I added browser automation capabilities to sandvault [0], a MacOS sandbox, to allow AI agents to control Chrome browser from within the sandbox, which makes coding & testing websit…

This type of problem plagues all sorts of software. Having experienced this type of problem before, for Guild Wars game servers -- which run deterministic game instances that live …

Kudos to those NASA engineers for managing to pack React into such a small footprint.

Whoops! I didn't hear about that one, though it was a common occurrence in the earlier days of the game industry. Please share details, if you're able. On a related note, I worked …
