Vouch and Denounce
I had one of my worst surf sessions in recent memory on yesterday. This is made even worse that I couldn't really afford to take the day off, and have to do...
Code Reuse Considered Harmful
I caught a cold last weekend, immediately after having done something to my shoulder that aggravated my rotator cuff. I started the year off very strong,...
Go-lidus
I'm finishing this week's Skill Issue up having just returned from getting my shoulder checked out. I was worried I'd seriously injured my left rotator cuff....
Rubyists can have a single monad, as a treat
I've been learning Go. The programming language. I've played a little of the board game, but never enough to get halfway decent at it. Both the language and...
Gate-getting-rid-of
If you haven't already, go check out this week's episode of Dead Code with Samir Talwar. Also, I can't be more jealous of his personal site's domain,...
Welcome to 20XX
We're back. I actually wrote half of a year-end bonus Skill Issue, but decided that I'd rather spend more time surfing than finish. We're back now, though....
Dystopian Code Review
This is the final Skill Issue of the year. Thanks y'all for reading. I'll be back at it on Jan 9th. In between now and then I'll be enjoying some time with...
Introspection
I'm really tempted to complete each day of the Advent of Code this year in a different language, but I don't really have twelve languages that I'm proficient...
Jared Is Not a Serious Programmer
I fell behind on my Skill Issues due to business at work. Hopefully this is a fun one to make it up to everyone. A Deeply Unserious Take This week my...
Wytchcraft
This week and into next I'm on a little getaway. It's not a full break from work, though I am working a bit less this week. I'm off in coastal cabin with Amy...
Abyssal, Cosmic, Byzantine
Last week's Skill Issue was missing because I was too busy. We've had a couple folks depart Super Good and there was a bit of reshuffling. This has me...

The surf has been great this week. It’s been so good that I’ve been seeing shots of local spots on r/surfing. Earlier this week I scoped out a slightly more...
Sec-Fetch-Site: same-origin
Note: I wrote this on Friday, but for some reason it failed to send it out. Tomorrow, the surf is going to get really good around here. To the subscribers...

I got a new bike today. If you follow me on Mastodon you’ll probably be treated to some pictures from my rides over the next little bit. I've been riding a...
Coup d'état
It's been a fun week. I was in Vancouver overnight to see a band whose name I'm hesitant to put in my newsletter. Their lead singer is 70 and (suprisingly)...
Fragmented
I already said this elsewhere, but writing this week's Skill Issue is exceptionally difficult. I have some very particular feelings about what's happening...
Complicated
Today's Skill Issue contains no whimsy. Sorry. When I started writing it, the discourse (I hate using that phrase) was focused on DHH's latest round of...
Gone Surfing
If you’re reading around the time it went out, I’m probably in the ocean, surfing. I always sneak in one last surfing/camping trip right after Labour Day....
"Useless Religion"
Welcome to the new folks that subscribed thanks to the Dead Code 50th episode giveaway! To those of you that don't know what I'm talking about, you should...
Fifty Episodes of Dead Code
I’ve been doing a bit more writing than usual. I’ve put out three blog posts in the past few weeks, ending a period of (blog) inactivity. I won’t promise...
