Computers can be understood - Made of Bugs

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 20:04:03 +0000

Computers are complex, but need not be mysteries. Any question we care to ask can, in principle and usually even in practice, be answered. Unknown systems can be approached with curiosity and determination, not fear.

Write Code That Works by Reid Burke

Thu, 27 Sep 2012 20:51:07 +0000

If you’re writing tests for code that’s rapidly changing, you’re going to spend more of your time writing tests instead of shipping features. For code that’s brand new, I typically only test-first a small amount of code and wait a while before hitting that green bar on a code coverage report.

Quick QR Codes In Django

Tue, 22 May 2012 04:22:08 +0000

Creating QR codes is a quick and easy process using a few model signals and the PyQRNative port. The hardest part of this implementation was finding a way to use the Django ContentFile object to save the generated QR code using our selected storage backend. This was important because you would not have to worry about changes to your system architecture effecting your QR generation code. An example would be moving from local filesystem storage to S3 using Django Storages (django-storages).

Coding Horror: Learn to Read the Source, Luke

Thu, 17 May 2012 05:26:47 +0000

The transformative power of "source always included" in JavaScript is a major reason why I coined – and continue to believe in – Atwood's Law. Even if "view source" isn't built in (but it totally should be), you should demand access to the underlying source code for your stack. No matter what the documentation says, the source code is the ultimate truth, the best and most definitive and up-to-date documentation you're likely to find. This will be true forever, so the sooner you come to terms with this, the better off you'll be as a software developer.

Of parser-fetishists and semi-colons | Christian Heilmann

Fri, 27 Apr 2012 01:15:19 +0000

I think it is a sign that as developers we are either terribly bored or we are out of ideas when we start to go down to bickering about violating accepted ways of development. We should concentrate on building amazing tools and experiences for users out there rather than smugly trying to undo conventions we’ve been following for years now. The web standards movement was not about enforcing arbitrary code syntax on poor developers who now have to type a few keys more. It is about making code predictable, extensible and easy to explain to newcomers. Confusing these matters doesn’t help the cause of making a new generation of developers embrace the web as a platform. Don’t be that guy.

#reviewth.is @github

Sun, 04 Mar 2012 04:09:55 +0000

GitHub gives us almost everything we need to do code reviews. Commit, file and line level comments, comment notifications, plus everything else that makes the GitHub experience great. The only thing missing is an easy way to initiate a review. If I want my code to be reviewed, I’ve got to go to GitHub, get the URL (and any other info), then compose an email to everyone I want to review it.
