Rust for JavaScript Developers: An Overview of Testing
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.
What I learned building an audio plugins system for the web
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.

The Lack of Compensation in Open Source Software is Unsustainable
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.
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.
