  1. Pull requests are a communication tool, not just an approval process

    Reviewing pull requests on GitHub can be awkward. When a software developer is finally ready to share their code they have to wait for the dreaded review comments. If the reviewer has a question about some aspect of the code, they have a choice. They can either raise their concern,...

  2. I played around with the Deno JS environment yesterday for the first time in a while and found it surprisingly nice to work with. I liked how integrated everything felt with built in tools like testing and formatting. I also like the idea of the permissions system, though I’m not...

  3. What we learned in puppy kinder

    Earlier this year, we took Denver, our Golden Retriever, to a puppy kinder class. While my wife is very experienced with dogs and Denver was making good progress, a significant reason we enrolled him was to expose him to working around other dogs. I joke that a puppy class is...

  4. It was really validating hearing Russell Moore articulate the feeling of being an outsider in an American church that seems more and more disconnected from the origins of Christianity. I’ve spoken with so many people who no longer feel okay with the church culture we see today. More broadly I...

  5. Today I repaired our noisy clothes dryer and I have a new respect for how the box I used to take for granted works. Also grateful for the wealth of home repair knowledge on YouTube.

  8. Leveling-Up Your Dev Team

    Software projects succeed or fail based on the quality of the teams behind them. Expert developers can be hard to find. So how do you get junior developers to level up? It’s not enough to teach how to use a framework or tech stack. Good developers can follow a pattern....

  10. Peanut Butter Banana Granola

    This recipe has become somewhat of a joke in our house for how over-the-top it is, but I like to make it occasionally as a late-nite treat. I started making it in the cafeteria in college but it’s flexible based on what ingredients you have stocked in your pantry. Summary...

  12. It’s interesting watching the release of Meta’s new Twitter clone, Threads. I’ve largely left the algorithmic attention traps of the major social networks but I’m (cautiously) excited about the possibility they will embrace open standards. I’d love to restore internet connections with family who’s content I miss.

  13. Multi-engine site search

    I added the /search page to the site with a form supporting multiple search engines. The hope is to give visitors a bit more choice in what companies to interact with. The challenge was managing different query param for different sites. DuckDuckGo doesn’t support multiple q= params, but does accept...

  14. Birding in 2022

    Following my 2021 birding summary, I’m excited to share my 2022 birding review! My travels brought me to 7 different states, Italy, and a bonus layover sighting. Between the varied locations and some active days, my total number of species identified was up slightly over the previous year. But my...
