Empowering developers in ways that matter.

I announce Xee, the implementation of XPath and XSLT in Rust that I've been working on for the last two years.

Once every while I use this blog to look for new challenges!

An overview of a class of data structures I didn't know about!

"Don't Repeat Yourself", abbreviated DRY, is a mantra I subscribe to as a programmer.

I go on a journey to learn about a man named Quentell, and discover unsettling things about the information landscape.

Rust has some really nice functional programming facilities built in, all around an iterator concept.

I've seen some programmers try to avoid the humble for loop at all costs, in favor of more functional abstractions.

Print good, not bad!

In software development we have best practices.

Part five in a series about my teenage adventures learning about computers and programming in the 1980s: achieving assembly

Part four in a series about my teenage adventures learning about computers and programming in the 1980s: the call of assembly language.

Tool maven versus language maven.

Part three in a series about my teenage adventures learning about computers and programming in the 1980s: the MSX 2 computer.

Wherein we discover JavaScript always gives you a choice.

I think, for me, becoming enamored by a programming language requires a sense of empowerment by that language.

Developers like to complain about bloat in software.

I've refreshed my blog again!

I have been using Rust for some years now for hobby projects.

I participated in a langjam.

Part two in a series about my teenage adventures learning about computers and programming in the 1980s: the first PC.

I have been programming computers for a long time; I started as a teenager at some point in the 1980s.

In this article I'm going to talk about the SolidJS frontend framework, and why I think it's cool and fits my brain

Among programmers there is a saying: premature optimization is the root of all evil.

Software developers use software frameworks all the time, so it's good to think about them.

When I build an application, I build frameworks along the way.

A discussion of what patterns occur in software framework design.

This is an old blog by now.
