Nobody likes reading AI slop.

When you need an approval checkpoint but don't want it everywhere, make the gate required but flexible in formality rather than optional but formal.

I'm building WKID (Wakamoleguy's Identity server), a BrowserID-style identity provider (IdP) for the bespoke apps I build for myself, my friends, and my family.

For quite a while, I have been wanting to have this site support interactive widgets.

I have been thinking a lot about AI-driven software development workflows lately, what bottlenecks they address and what bottlenecks they don't.

My org adopted AI tools across Engineering, Product, and Design.

It's been several months since I paused on Advent of Code 2022, and I am now attempting to return.

It's Day 12, and it's finally Dijkstra time!

With this Day 11: Monkey in the Middle challenge, I had hoped to use something clever to keep track of the throws.

In today's double feature, we're tackling Day 10: Cathod-Ray Tube.

I'm still running a couple days behind, and so this grey Sunday I am tackling Day 9: Rope Bridge.

It's Day 8: Treetop Tree House, or at least it was a couple days ago...

I took a break for a few days before tackling Day 7: No Space Left On Device.

For a refreshing change, Day 6: Tuning Trouble does not require us to parse our input at all.

It's Day 5, and it's time to move some crates.

In Day 4, I had a strong hunch that the parseRange function could be improved.

In Day 4: Camp Cleanup, each elf has been assigned a range of segments to clean.

While writing up the post for Advent of Code Day 3, I came across a small improvement to my splitInHalf function.

For Day 3: Rucksack Reorganization, we are given an ominous premise: each string in our input represents a rucksack with compartments and all the items inside.

It's Day 2 of Advent of Code, and we're apparently going to play in a tournament of Rock Paper Scissors.

It's that time of year again!

For many years, I left this website largely unmaintained, and it continued working just fine.

I like writing blog posts.

Earlier this week, I came across an article on Butterick's Practical Typography that was about 4K monitors.

I read an interesting post the other day by Ben Nadel (@BenNadel).

After getting my Raspberry Pi up and running last week, I was really pumped to continue on, find a project, and put it to good use.

It has been over a year since curiosity got the best of me and I purchased a Raspberry Pi.

Browsers nowadays provide lots of ways to personalize your experience.

For a few years now, the JS1K contest has been asking folks, "What can you do with just 1,024 bytes of JavaScript?"

In the last post, I walked through one way to make a simple accordion list using vanilla JavaScript.

Here lies my first contribution to the Vanilla Web Diet.

Hi.
