Windows has been my main dev environment for about 4 years with some linux interspersed in there. Before that, I used OSX and Windows interchangeably. When I made the switch, I wrote an article on my Windows Dev environment and today, I want to write a sort-of update, and sort-of introduction on how to make […]

Very recently, I started working on an HTML/CSS side project and I found myself in a state of panic. I haven’t worked on plain HTML/CSS in a while. JavaScript has been part of my workflow for years and the output of that JavaScript was always a single page app. In fact, I haven’t worked on […]

I wanted to write a quick blog post on why it’s important for developers on a team to use different setups to develop. Why it’s important to have Linux and windows users in a field (web dev specifically) that’s been dominated by macOS. And why it’s important to stay away from Chrome-only development. I think […]

I figured the best way to keep in mind all of the lessons I’ve learned was to write out notes on these articles and what they really taught me, especially actionable items. 200 Productive Hours A […]

“Getting Things Done” is by far one of my favorite systems for tracking todo items and productivity. Even when I migrate to another system, a little bit of GTD rears its head. Whether that’s tagging by relevant location, tagging by interest, or whatever else. Other than GTD, I’m a productivity junkie. I like figuring out […]

One of the joys of programming for me has always been learning and discovery. I loved the idea of digging deeper and deeper into a topic or language or a framework to learn more and become a better developer. In a way, being a programmer is like being in an RPG (especially one like Morrowind […]
