Hi there, I'm Steve. This is a tutorial for Jujutsu—a version control system. This tutorial exists because of a particular quirk of mine: I love to write tutorials about things as I learn them. This is the backstory of TRPL, of which an ancient draft was "Rust for Rubyists." You only get to look at a problem as a be...

This is why I've decided to build my own block editor from scratch using Qt C++ and QML.When peop...

I recently investigated a warning message on Kubernetes that said: DNSConfigForming ... Nameserver limits were exceeded, some nameservers have been omitted. This was technically a Kubernetes event with type: Warning, and these usually indicate that there’s something wrong, so I wanted to investigate it. This led me ...

Recently I tried to explain to a colleague my mental model for when to put something in the same pull request and when not to. I caught myself saying “well, except…” a few times, I decided to write down how I use git — to examine my idiosyncracies, see where I could improve, and possibly share something useful.Since...

Node 23 was released this week, and the hot ticket item probably is the fact that you can now require() files that use ESM (import/export).
