1 degree celsius in the gym this morning. No thanks.

What I find interesting in this exchange is that Zuck seemed sold on doubling down on Facebook as a brand. But we all know they ended up going with Meta later on.

I wonder what exchange he had that caused him to go the other way.

Gotta love mobile development 🥴 (not that web is any better)

Ruby really is the GOAT of SaaS languages.

Tooling and package ecosystem shits all over other popular languages in the space (JS, C#, Java, go)

The language itself is approachable and borrows so many good patterns from other languages.

It’s not perfect, but easily the best choice

Morning deadlifts. 160kg x 5 x 2. 155kgs x 5 x 1. Still getting used to conventional and mixed grip.

GitHub - Gwash3189/sindarin: A Scheme/Lisp like language implemented in Deno A Scheme/Lisp like language implemented in Deno . Contribute to Gwash3189/sindarin development by creating an account on GitHub.

Over the holiday break I wanted to learn how programming languages _actually_ work.

I implemented enough of a Lisp like language to complete the first day of Advent of Code.

File reading, sorting, name spaces, variables and even JS interop.

The extended fatigue from testing my 1 RM deadlift is nuts.

A week later and my legs are still getting tired from normal daily activity.

December Recommendations December Recommendations midway through December? Nailed it.

Big ups to my wife for the cheer squad

Yo who the fuck wouldn’t play a game because the protagonist is a female?

Sounds fucking backwards.

Ay yo where are the software engineers or indie hackers at 👀

Went to sleep and woke up to everyone saying Polio is making a comeback in the US.

What absolute fuck is going on over there.

A year and a half of writing on the internet and I have my first paying customer.

This is where I’d have some very good copy to get you to click on my blog teaching you about implementing user authentication

But I’m just a programmer that likes teaching.

One of the hardest parts of living away from your birth country is missing all the relatives you left behind.

While my life here in Aus is infinitely better than it would have been in the US, I still miss them.

I look forward to you making a video and saying “I just said some shit on the internet and someone DID IT”.

Last heavy deadlifts of my last block.

180kg x 2 x 3 easy peasy 🍋.

Reading A File Line By Line In Deno Reading a file line by line is a far more efficient way to read large files. Let's learn how to do it in Deno

Deno is quickly becoming my preferred JS/TS runtime. It seems so backwards to use node when Deno has backwards compatibility with all of NPM.

I’m writing posts as I learn more about the runtime.

4883 lines changes for a bootstrap 5 upgrade.

Don’t do it.

I spent the last 5 weeks of my life upgrading a system from bootstrap 4 to 5 and it was a nightmare. Real legacy hours.

For larger apps, the dream you have of returning to a world of simple HTML and raw JS doesn’t exist and it’s better you don’t return.
