Archives: Notes

  • Just doing a git bisect over a sass binary change. Ask me anything.

  • Turns out my mood today is shitposting.

  • Are there any podcasts that are just a couple of guys winging it for about an hour on what they reckon about web development? Maybe getting another guy on occasionally for an interview?

  • Ease the hiring burden for senior, security conscious WordPress developers with this one weird trick: pay them as much as your other specialist developers.

  • Today is the 935th day in a row Scott Morrison hasn’t personally shot a protester while Prime Minister. Cheers, Scomo, you’re the greatest.

  • First piece of spam made it through to the new job’s inbox today. Apparently we were at the University of Florida together, go [sports team].

  • To avoid messing with build tools on a tiny file I wrote some actual ES5 last week. I typed var. Weird.

  • Blogs are the new vlog.

  • Major events are a weakness for governments (see cricket in NSW, tennis in Vic) so glad I decided to postpone my Sydney trip for Hamilton this week. Discussing this with a relieved friend who did the same.

    Anyone who’s ever met me knows I love the show so to be glad I’m not seeing it takes a lot.

  • I’ve been using a GitHub action at work to check the common PHP and readme headers match in WordPress plugins. I’m using it on ten or so plugins and finding it very helpful. https://gist.github.com/peterwilsoncc/f677c5c401f896ee7fef668e72b06cd0
