I'd like to share my favorite git aliases and settings.

My experience as a beta user of Dark, "the quickest way to code a backend"

My review of the new(ish) JavaScript frontend framework, Vue.

How to create your first HTML file, including setting up your development environment.

I built a thing that administers Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's ESM test for flow, or the state of being "in the zone" in order to try out Vue and darklang.

A rundown of my team's experiment with dual track development

I just want to take a minute to gush about a brilliant woman.

We, software engineers, have built an ecosystem that may neglect introverts.

My slightly satirical, stream-of-consciousness take on scrummy pregnancy.

The tv-show medium that KnowBe4 uses to share its security vulnerabilities content is sneakily powerful, and genuinely enjoyable.

Instead of wishing you could be less fickle when it comes to personal projects, just be you! Here are some resources for your spaced (dev) rehearsals.

My coworkers spent weekend doing napkin math to figure out how long their workflows were running on average. Here's how I found the same information in a matter of minutes.

What an anti-feminist taught me about being a good teammate

Instead of the classical performance goals, I want to set some learning goals for myself.

There's a bogus 15 minute sleep setting I can't undo because of HIPPA or something (it's probably not HIPPA, it's probably some other security measure I blindly follow because IT tells me to). So, I wrote a script.

In becoming someone's wife, I've realized that the best thing I can do for us, is to be aggressively real about my nature. Can I impose the same benefits on a business?

I woke up one morning last week and realized, _I'm lost_. Ever since, I've been in a perpetual brain-cycle of self-discovery. What is it about my day that makes me feel like I've abandoned who I am?

Why do we tend to invert a power dynamic, rather than level it?

OH.EM.GEE. I NEED GUAKE ON MY PC! I haven't found a thing that will do this for me, so I built one.

I have a really hard time with the precept, "Self-reliance is the key to happiness."

Why is it so hard to find examples of unit testing HQL?

I would like to expose a team which merged continuous integration and continuous deployment with scrum cadences.

Developing software as a trade quickly evolves into a cyclical game of problem discovery and problem solving. The problem discovery portion tends to manifest rather easily, so your time is dedicated mainly to the problem solving. If your project is anything like mine, you'll notice that every solution generally depends on some expert in that area. I call this person "the guy".

I started myself on a bit of an experiment. Like any great scientist (trust me, I took organic chemistry), I'd like to share my findings, lessons learned, and why 80% of the time this experiment made me a horrible developer.
