It's just test code. -Anonymous Have you ever heard this phrase? I can’t wrap my head around the reason why test code should be treated with any less respect and care as production code. Our test code ensures production code keeps working as expected, thus it’s our duty to maintain the test code as meticulously as...

I don't understand Please repeat and make gestures Now I understand So I’ve had this interest for constructed languages ever since I’ve read Project Hail Mary. Chants of Sennaar was one of the games that came up in my search of games that also did something with learning and discovering new languages. The other two...

As part of the move to the new house, there was still one little project that needed finishing. We decided instead of being regular closets and cabinets that we’d turn a room into a walk-in closet. About a month ago we started the drawing out plans and schematics of what it might look like. We went through three or...

Private life I’m finally moving into the new house in about a week or so. Just finishing up building the walk-in closet and after that my girlfriend, our dogs and I will be moving into the new house! Exciting times! I’ll be happy to have my own little room to myself again. Apart from that I’ve been dabbling with...

Here’s a new post category I’ve dubbed “Here’s a thought”. These are posts that originated as an idea, which I found fun to think about and research. So… Here’s a thought, what if the gas pedal of your car worked differently? I drive a Tesla Model Y since I started my career as a freelance IT consultant. One of the...

First of all, apologies for the lack of content here. I’ve been to Canada in September and have had some projects I’ve been working on ever since (including all the prep work for moving house). I’ll do a more detailed post on what I’ve been up to exactly sometime later. For now, I’d like to take a minute to talk...

A couple of weeks ago, my girlfriend had the idea to spruce up her doors. “Great!” I said, “sounds like a fun project!” At first it was just going to be a paint job, then it evolved into something more. The doors were going to be adorned with some frames. She googled1 around a bit and found some sets that were...

My Framework 16 laptop arrived earlier this week and I finally had the time to put it together! I bought the DIY edition, and to be honest, I expected more DIY. The installation process was extremely smooth. I’ve setup desktop towers before and installing a PC like that took me way longer than it did for this...

Series Sherlock FINISHED Absolutely lovely. I love the universe, I love the characters, and Benedict Cumberbatch’s and Martin Freeman’s representation of those characters are phenomenal. I guess if I had to give a point of criticism, it’s that visualization of Sherlock’s deduction throughout the series isn’t...

I recently started a new job and found myself in the Go ecosystem. To be honest, it has been a bit of a shock. I’ve written .NET code for the past 15 years and know its ins and outs pretty well. As a language, I don’t mind writing Go code. About the only thing that still bothers me is the if err != nil { return err...

I grew up surrounded by computers. My father is an unbelievable Amiga fanboy. We must have owned over 5 or 6 Amiga’s, The Amiga 1200 being my very own home computer and my beast of choice when it came to gaming at a young age. Everyone talks about DOS gaming in their childhood. I had this gem whenever I booted my...

Series The Gentlemen - FINISHED - My girlfriend recommended this to me. When I saw it was directed by Guy Ritchie I knew I was on board. It’s an entertaining show with a good premise. Eric - FINISHED - About a couple that loses their child. The main focus is on the father (played by Benedict Cumberbatch) who has...
