Looking Back, Looking Forward
In case you somehow missed it, we're at the start of a brand new year so it's time to look back over the last twelve months and think about what we're going to do in the next batch of lunar cycles. I've never really been one to go overboard on new year's resolutions - I prefer to keep them general… read more →

Save Time with Super-Quick Local Test Cases
If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably created local test cases before - quick little bits of code to try something out.

I’ve adopted Mugaruka and Chimanuka - two Eastern Lowland gorillas in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Currently there are only about 3000 of these beautiful primates left on our planet and they face constant dangers, including poaching, the exotic pet trade and more.
