Week 15: anildash documents, macos, bitbucket, letsencrypt cloudflare, testing, uuids
- Make better documents.: A roundup of things to keep in mind when writing a professional document. (Or any kind of doc?) Empathy for the reader, eliminating distractions and sequencing are my biggest takeaways personally
- Single-Space Challenge: Trying to Manage My macOS Windows All in One Virtual Desktop : I use 2 spaces myself - 1 for apple music and a few other things I don’t look at all that often but should be open and another for my main work screen. I’m almost here. The “placing windows with intention” thing is not something I do. I’ll try that! :)
- Trunk-based development: We’re thinking about a move to git and bitbucket at work. Starting to read up on it.
- BitBucket Setup - multiple Workspaces?: How many workspaces do we need?
- The UX of UUIDs: How to make uuids easier to work with and think about when you see them in code and systems.
- How we ensure Cloudflare customers aren’t affected by Let’s Encrypt’s certificate chain change: Let’s encrypt root cert expiry and cloudflare’s decision to stop using le to sign new certificates.
- Unit Tests Considered Harmful: These days I feel like integration testing (without mocks and stubs) probably gets me the most bang for energy I put into testing. e2e testing is great too but hard. Units also have their place. The testing trophy is mightier than the pyramid … :)
- The Playdate Story: What Was it Like to Make Handheld Video Game System Hardware?: Great talk at gdc this year by Cabel Sasser about the Playdate handheld made by panic.
