You don’t really need docs as --update-refs does what the OP does automatically instead of manually like the OP does.

Wait what? What would that module even be for?!

If I may, the evil is not in the top level await but in the use of a top level await in a module that exports. That is evil. But a top level await in a programs main script seems ok to me.

LOLz! As someone who swaps caps with control on all machines as well as buying keyboards which lack caps for a control key, this site is truly horrifying!

In struggled with this trend even before the AI hype. I love learning and focused my work towards always learning. But it takes energy and lots of work; some days are better than others. My love of learning keeps me motivated over time. How

I use Makefile for my static blog that is powered by a static site generator. Something I love about this is I can have one place to describe all the different build tools. I can have PlantUML to generate PNG diagrams, Vim to generate synta

The anti-make-reinvent-everything mentality has bugged me for decades. I never understood why every language seems compelled to reinvent the build system. Especially when the output is file based.

Yes. Place the secrets in a secured (symmetric encrypted) document. Then print the password for that document and hand it to a loved one, trusted family member/friend, or lawyer.

When I tried to introduce s-expressions to a DSL my co-workers nearly lynched me. The parenthesis were so violently hated I sunk into a deep hole and still haven’t came back out of it.

I disagree with this take. I have found immeasurable advantages to working with non-IDE/non-hold-my-hand-editors when programming. The separation of concerns (editing text versus compiling and running a program) are valuable to me as a

I’m curious if it makes sense to have a distinction between source code existing for the purpose of discovery versus software for fitness of purpose. In other words this is similar to the Cathedral and the Bazaar as OSS used as a tool by u

I love how text is formatted in these documents. It shows a level of attention and care I don’t see often in modern markup/HTML/Word/Pages pipelines. Maybe it is some TeX magic but I like to believe they hand formatted the AS

As a parent dealing with their midlife crisis and raising two children I can say this concept is high on my mind. What kind of world are they going to inherit when they can’t even run to their neighbors for help when something goes wrong? W

I have been giving this one a lot of thought. I jumped to sourcehut for my personal projects and was amazed how viscerally pleasing a [PATCH] email thread could be. I am convinced there is a big psychological difference between discussions

Why can’t we just Pair Program more? There is enough open source out there. Enough user groups meeting. Enough hack-a-thons. Just make them Pair Programming sessions. Please! please I beg of you!

I once wrote a tiny DSL language. I used LISP (S-Expressions with parenthesis) because it semantically fit and made the parser much easier to write. I was laughed at and ridiculed by my peers. Everyone hated it that I had to attempt two oth

I wish I could GPG sign or hackcode my online content in pain text. But the tools to do so don’t make it to the general publics consciousness. We used to seal our communications with wax stamps but we don’t have a digital equivalent. Kinda

If only there was a universally available program and format for programming API’s we could reach for as a single command. We could call this man (short for manual). What happened? In C ecosystem this is a no brainer. Why can’t my framework

I started keeping a list. Each time I discover a game changing concept I add it to my resource list on my personal website. After doing this I found having such a list invaluable to both myself and others.
