I worked on a codebase that had taken the “skinny controllers” and “skinny models” idea to heart by putting everything into service objects.

I’ve been getting into lettering lately (gotta chase that dopamine).

I have always liked Rubular.

I first encountered RoboWar as a teenager in high school.

A few years ago I wrote about why Stimulus irritates me and how Vue can do the same thing, but better.

A few years ago I wrote about creating a custom Jekyll plugin for code blocks.

Stimulus has a description top and center of its home page: “A modest JavaScript framework for the HTML you already have.”

For the past 3 years I had been working on a Rails app with an Angularjs 1.5 front-end (SPA); I didn’t love it.

Ant Design is an incredibly thorough design system with a lot of useful React components.

My big project at work this year is to upgrade our codebase from Rails 4 to Rails 5 (and hopefully Rails 6 if we have time).
