Protip: never even mention undefined in your codebase. Erase it from your vernacular. If you ever need to pass or return nothing, you use null.

I've used it for gixapixel scale rendering projects. Giant wall murals at 300 DPI. QGIS is incredibly powerful.

The vast majority of state problems in React are a result of nonsense cargo culting around the idea that classes are somehow bad.

Aye. Sign of the times. You're 20+ years in, so I'm preaching to the choir and old-man-yelling-at-cloud here. Cargo culting + AI are the culprits. Sucks to say, but engineering is going downhill fast. First wave of the shitularity

Very cool article. Semantics are important and key. Article nails it. Reduce, reduce, and then reduce farther. I'll add my 2c: Ditch the cargo cults. Biggest problem in software dev. I say this 30 years in. Hard lesson for any young en

The bane of "functional. No such thing as objects or classes, just a bunch of shotgun spread state fragments. Cargo cult runneth strong on web.

CTEs are extremely useful mechanisms for writing modular and easily maintainable queries, particularly around anything to do with ETL, graphs, and timeseries data. Highly recommend.

Always blows my mind how much time we waste talking about Git instead of just using it properly. Cheatsheet: - It's distributed horticulture. Your tools come saran-wrapped to the tree. - Rebase flow. Keep your branches linear. - Merge

I don't like this take. This post is for any engineering leader. The Bus Factor is how hard your team would suffer if you - or anyone else on the team - got hit by a bus. Ideal Bus Factor for all team members is 0. This might sound cou

Perhaps it was a response to the Arecibo message, and the response was "quiet, they'll hear you".

Came here to post this. I remember once when going back on ADHD meds, a very smart doctor adding 5mg of Dexedrine. At 5pm. I asked him why he would prescribe a stimulant so late in the day. His reply was simply "it's so you can th

There are two things that everybody misses about OAuth and they fly under the radar. Nice to hear someone touch on one of them: you absolutely NEED to use a transaction as a distributed locking mechanism when you use a token. This goes doub

Reminds of Hofstadter's concept of the "Parallel Terraced Scan". Kind of a mix between breadth-first and depth-first search or unsupervised learning. Nice write-up here: https://www.menimagerie.com/manuscripts

Static analysis platform with multiple language frontends and backends. Have some large scale renderings if you ever want to see them or take a poke through the repo.

Very cool. Have built something like this in the past - let me know if you are hiring.
