I joined GitLab in October 2015, and left in December 2021 after working there for a little more than six years. While I previously wrote about leaving GitLab to work on Inko, I never discussed what it was like working for GitLab between 2015 and 2021. There are two reasons for this: I was suffering from burnout, and didn't have the energy to revisit the last six years of my life (at that time)I w
Sorbet Compiler: An experimental, ahead-of-time compiler for Ruby · Sorbet
For the past year, the Sorbet team has been working on an experimental, ahead-of-time compiler for Ruby, powered by Sorbet and LLVM. Today we’re sharing the source code for it. It lives alongside the existing code for Sorbet on GitHub, mostly in the compiler/ folder: → https://github.com/sorbet/sorbet/tree/master/compiler/ We want to be clear up front: the code is nowhere near ready for external u
Published: August 4, 2023 Updated: October 27, 2023 Part 1: an intro about music, defaults, and bubbles Like a lot of people, there was a time when the only music I listened to was whatever was played on my local radio station. (A lot of people over 30 or so, anyway. If this doesn’t sound familiar to you yet, just stick with me for a minute here.) At the time, I was happy with that. It seemed like

April 25, 2022 Four Eras of JavaScript Frameworks April 25, 2022 I started coding primarily in JavaScript back in 2012. I had built a PHP app for a local business from the ground up, a basic CMS and website, and they decided that they wanted to rewrite it and add a bunch of features. The manager of the project wanted me to use .NET, partially because it’s what he knew, but also because he wanted i

Ox is a code editor. It was written in Rust using ANSI escape sequences.

Ox is lightweight so it can be used on older computers. Bear in mind, this is a personal project and is nowhere ne

Real Country Sizes Shown on Mercator Projection (Updated) - Engaging Data
I remember as a child thinking that Alaska was as large as 1/2 of the continental US. Later, however, I learned that while it is the largest state, it is actually only about 1/5 the size of the lower 48 states. My son has also remarked that Greenland is very big. And while it is very big, it’s nowhere near the size of the continent of Africa. The map above shows the distortion in sizes of countrie
I first got into web design/development in the late 90s, and only as I type this sentence do I realize how long ago that was. And boy, it was horrendous.

I’ve been taking for granted that most folks doing web stuff still remember those days, or at least t

Rust, not related to the video game also called Rust, is a promising systems programming language with novel features ideally suited for game development. Exposure and awareness within the game developer community, however, remains limited. In this post, I provide a gentle introduction to Rust and attempt to justify its place on your radar.

This is a response to the Rust call for blogs 2021 and also a followup to last year’s entry. It will be entirely focused on GUI. There is considerable interest in GUI toolkits for Rust.

There is also a fair amount of activity towards this goal, though as a community it still feels

Recently I landed experimental support for require()-ing synchronous ES modules in Node.js, a feature that has been long overdue.

The opinions in this post are my own and reflect my perception of the ESM development in Node.js as
In 2013, I had an idea: "what if I were to build my programming language?". Back then my idea came down to "an interpreted language that mixes elements from Ruby and Smalltalk", and not much more. Between 2013 and 2015 I spent time on and off trying different languages (C, C++, D and various others I can't remember) to see which one I would use to build my language in. While this didn't help me fi

Airflow's Problem
I wrote an entire blog post trying to pin down why I dislike Airflow. But despite my rationalizations, it came out like a break-up letter — just way too personal: Dear Airflow, I tried to make it work, I really did. But you are too old, your abstractions are clunky, and I think you’re ugly. It’s over between us. Sincerely, Stephen Which would have been fine, except I knew exactly how Airflow would
Xiaomi's secret blacklist of phrases sounds scary, but it may not be what it seems
After Lithuania told its citizens to avoid Xiaomi phones over censorship concerns, we've taken a look to see if the claims have any validity.

However, other companies like Xiaomi haven't been left untouched, as the world's number one smartphone vend

5 Reasons Why You Don't Need to Upgrade Smartphones Every Year
Are you thinking about getting the latest iPhone? You might want to hold on and wait a little longer for your wallet's sake. Smartphones have come a long way over the past decade, and they've evolved to a point where even a two-year-old model is still plentiful for most people. Therefore, if you purchased a new phone in the last year or so, you're nowhere near the prime time for an upgrade. Unless
