There’s been an interesting Reddit thread circling my corner of the internet for the last week or so. It started with a question: I’m inviting pure opinion here, but what’s your list of ten things that everyone looking for a good javascript role should know and understand. Personally, I’m in a role where what I know is adequate, but I want to be somewhere better; somewhere that has some flippin st
Over the past 6 months my team at work has been slowly transitioning a large Backbone application to React. One of the main goals of the transition has been to build out unit tests as we transition components. As part of that we switched from using Karma to using Jest for managing our tests. Our new setup with Jest has several advantages over our previous setup. All Jest tests run through node usi
For the past 2 years, ~90% of my coding time has been spent working on a large scale Backbone.js app. In February 2014, the Backbone community was in a fairly good place. The core library had reached 1.0 the previous year and had a strong team around it. Marionette had emerged as a de-facto standard for web applications 1. There were Backbone specific plugins for many tasks, and generally gaps cou
JavaScript has a strange naming history. For its initial release in 1995 as part of Netscape Navigator, Netscape labeled their new language LiveScript, before renaming it to JavaScript a year later, hoping to capitalize on Java’s popularity at the time (JavaScript has no actual relationship to Java). In 1996 Netscape submitted JavaScript to ECMA International for standardization. This eventually r
Since I started programming professionally, I’ve always kept an informal list of technologies I want to check out. Things that I thought would be useful for my career, would expose me to new ideas, or just looked plain cool. I spent a chunk of my Labor Day weekend working through that list a bit by learning more about React, the JavaScript View library from Facebook. React is a fascinating piece o
It’s become a bit of a cliche that JavaScript is the “machine code of the web”. But now that mobile browsers have conclusively killed Flash, Silverlight and other “plugin languages”, JavaScript has become the only language that can reasonably claim to be “write once, run anywhere”. That’s still a bit inflated though. More accurately, you can use a subset of modern JavaScript that is compatible wit
Last week was the time for my team’s quarterly “dependency update” where we go through all the third party libraries we’re using and keep up on any updates or maintenance that need to happen. That presented the opportunity for me to do a bit more research into an alternative for one of our libraries, Underscore. Underscore is a JavaScript utility library that provides helper functions for common i
Learning Vim in 2014 was a series of posts I wrote in July & August 2014 documenting a process for newcomers to learn Vim. It was inspired by my own experience learning Vim, running into many out of date resources and online resources that gave me just a quick list of tips, plugins or commands. This is a “point in time” snapshot of one man’s advice on how to learn Vim. It is by no means comprehens

How do you feel about being efficient? If you’re reading this blog, I bet you like it. What if I told you your text editor could help you cut the amount of time you spend typing in half, with just a little reading and a bit of practice? For you Vim users, it’s very possible that you’re spending way more time typing than needed. The software developers reading this have probably heard of the Don’t
