My displays keep rearranging and displayplacer fixed it
Today I learned about displayplacer - “macOS command line utility to configure multi-display resolutions and arrangements.”
In December, I upgraded to MacOS Tahoe and picked up the TS4 dock for my work machine.
While my upgrade was painless, the biggest issue I’ve had is with my displays. Every time my displays go to sleep and then I come back from lunch or come back the next day to work, my orientation of my displays changes and it puts them in a random order.
My displays should be arranged lik...

Get in the Habit of Learning Daily
TL;DR In software, daily learning is the real career cheat code. Use the Feynman technique to turn “I think I get it” into real understanding. Read less, summarize more (processing beats re-reading). Apply the 30‑second rule: summarize right after reading, in your own words. Use a Mind Palace (Ramon Campayo style) for flows/lists you must recall fast (e.g., OAuth, some architecture, etc.). As pompous as it may sound, we do need to work on ourselves, or we’re just gonna fall behind. There’s no st...

CodeSOD: Contains Some Bad Choices
While I'm not hugely fond of ORMs (I'd argue that relations and objects don't map neatly to each other, and any ORM is going to be a very leaky abstraction for all but trivial cases), that's not because I love writing SQL. I'm a big fan of query-builder tools; describe your query programatically, and have an API that generates the required SQL as a result. This cuts down on developer error, and also hopefully handles all the weird little dialects that every database has.
For example, did you kno...

jQuery Reunion
Last summer, Richard Worth reached out to see if I’d be interested in attending a jQuery Reunion. I’ve only been to one other conference (Beyond Tellerand) in the last five years and a reunion seemed like the best opportunity to reconnect with people I hadn’t seen in a long time.
I was trepidatious going into it as I had no idea who would be in attendance. Did everybody I knew from way back when decide to say no? How many people were even going to be there?
Thankfully, my fears were unfounde...
