Different methods and hacks for navigating around in your shell

I’ve had a sneaking suspicion for a whle that OKRs - as in Objectives and Key Results - are in fact clever device deployed by Google 1 to throw startups off track. The appeal of OKRs is in their perceived simplicity: any problem large, or small, organizational or technical, made solvable by careful setting of O’s and KR’s.2 It never plays out as promised: a few cycles deep into OKRs will leave startups wondering why they’re so dumb they can’t implement what seems like a pretty simple system.

It’s 11:43pm on a Monday night. My 6-week-old son is asleep in my office so my wife can get some uninterrupted rest for the first half of the night. He’s finally asleep now, and I probably should be also after a full day of work. But I’m not done for the day. Even though I’m a software engineer by trade, I’m also a computer programmer by hobby and passion. So I do what I’ve been doing for well over a decade now: I boot up my computer to write some code.

About a month ago I released an app I’d been working on for awhile, Volca Sampler. If you visit the app you might be a bit confused, but among the niche group of folks who own a KORG volca sample hardware sample synthesizer, this app has been very well-received. It embeds KORG’s open-source C library for transferring audio data to the volca sample, making it much easier to load one’s own sounds onto the device.

This article explores how you can test a web application in Rust and compares it to the way you would do it in JavaScript - covering unit tests, integration tests and API testing as well as mocking.

One of the things we believe as a team is that everything we make should be sealed with a blog post. Forcing ourselves to write up a short announcement post for every project we work on acts as a built-in quality check, making sure that we never call a project "done" until we feel comfortable telling the world it's out there. The problem was that up until today, we didn't actually have anywhere to publish those posts!

In this blog post, we’ll share why we think frontend testing is worth doing, why it had a bad reputation in the past, and the approach we have taken to make our tests easy to write and maintain.

Victoria Johnson began a career in front-end development upon graduating from college. Now, roughly one year later, she reflects back on the decisions she made to crack into the field and find her first full-time job. This is her story, and she’s sharing it to provide those who are just starting out with another beginner’s perspective.

We tried migrating our trusty Lunch codebase from Node to Bun. Was the transition as smooth as advertised?
