I test my wordpress plugins with: wp-env run tests-cli vendor/bin/phpunit and I put this in a bin/test.sh script.

The goal: a static Nim binary that can make http requests using ssl with no dependencies or runtime configuration.

I've been working my way through Robert Nystrom's Crafting Interpreters and had to learn some Java in order to run the Scanner class implemented in Chapter 4.

We all have to start somewhere, right?

When publishing on npm, how do you know that what you intend to publish is what ends up getting published?

In this post, I'll walk through my process of creating a recursive Vue.js component, that is, a component which can render itself.

If you are using Rails' form helper collection_check_boxes, it's not entirely obvious how you might go about customizing the label's html.

I recently made a few upgrades to updog.co which have decreased the Time To First Byte dramatically.

View demo | View code I recently built an application - https://stopgap.store/ which is a simple way to get up and running with an API with almost zero configuration.

Here's a pre-recorded screencast of a talk I gave at the NodeDC Meetup And the code is on GitHub!

"Dependency injection" is a somewhat scary term to explain loading modules and making sure memory footprint is minimal.

I just finished The Art of Unix Programming and I highly recommend it.

Hoisting is often convenient in JavaScript.

I recently built an application - restful.link in order to inspect the data that was sent as a webhook, like information about about any new pull request on GitHub.

When recommending any new service like Dropbox or DigitalOcean, I send my referral codes to the potential customer in hopes that they’ll sign up, and my account will be credited accordingly.

Unfortunately, undoing a git clean is impossible, as C’s unlink() is called on each of the untracked files (and directories if -d is supplied).

I recently came across a gem for handling user authentication with sinatra - sinatra simple authentication.

I’ve been playing around with mercurial as of late as a way to enhance what I know about git and version control in general.

I recently created a landing page for my jshawl.github.io domain and wanted to get all of my public repos from the github api.

Submitting pull requests with few files changed and a clean history means cleaning up your commits.

I was working on a rails application that responded with the following JSON: [ { "id":14, "title":"post title", "description":"my awesome description", "user_id":1, "created_at":"2014-10-29T02:50:01.707Z", "updated_at":"2014-10-29T02:51…

I've recently removed the /finds-links url from my site, which was a jQuery plugin powered by pocket.

Last night, Ramsay Lanier and I competed in DC's first devbattle.

Today I learned how to listen to <select> change events, and store the selected option in plain-jane javascript: See the Pen phLAj by Jesse Shawl (@jshawl) on CodePen.

Jekyll 2.1.0 was recently released, and my name is listed under the contributors!

Today I learned how to self-host gh-pages-esque project pages in an easy way using an nginx alias.

Linode has recently expanded their hosting offering to include a $10 a month plan.

Earlier this week, I began working on my first npm package.

Sometimes, I will receive a pull request to one of my repositories that has commits that affect several files.

I recently watched a talk by Tim Berglund on advanced git - http://vimeo.com/49444883 wherein he demos some git plumbing commands with a git log that keeps refreshing.

The standard git log is pretty useless: It tells me nothing about my current branch and/or how it differs from its upstream counterpart.

Sometimes I binge code for like 3+ hours and work on several unrelated things.

Did you know?!

Have you seen this before when running git push with no remote or branch name specified?

A note about browser support: There's some pretty crazy stuff going on in this post.

I've come to appreciate that scary git command - git rebase.
