Not that the author needs my defense, but that image says to me, 'hey, I'm just a guy who wrote a book and there's no budget for art' -- which fits a DIY aesthetic in 2026

Seems possible from the technical side, but not so sure about the money part. if I'm following you correctly, XYZ.com would have shown an ad on their site and received, say 1 cent. With your service running, you visit XYZ.com, ad is r

There's a way to work in such an environment and not go crazy, but it will take time to get used to it. Think of it system with big asynchronous methods. You need to arrange your work to put in the slow running requests early, then foc

My nicer one is in the living room for end of the day games and such, but my older one is an always-on weather display.

I see agile as the problem here. Before agile, I would essentially 'own' pieces of the code, so I was committed to making it maintainable. Now, it's all just pieces and parts, and I'm not responsible for nearly as much,

The article provided some good examples of times when code readability can be increased without a bulky switch statement. However, there are times when I find the switch statement most closely communicates the idea of what needs to occur to

I would be in favor of software that makes it easy to pre-vote. Then, when I go to my polling place I could quickly print, review and submit my votes. Where I vote the process is tediously manual. If we could get, say half the voters in a
