I wrote a free book on making games with Ruby. Today, it's finished! I'd love it if you checked it out.

I always read `.isNaN()` as `isNaan()` when I see it 😋.

Dear open source maintainers: saying "thank you" and being kind when someone contributes to your project makes a big difference in their likelihood of wanting to contribute again in the future.

My PR for adding the how to read from stdin in the Command Line Applications in Rust book just landed! 🎉

Really loved this thorough breakdown of the different types of technical docs that exist, plenty of great examples and analogies

Today’s BCS ep: showing off an early Conventional Commits CLI, plus some thoughts on when Ruby shines and when it doesn’t

Screencast on using RSpec’s shared example groups to DRY up specs

Game programming is appealing to me in that way. It’s centered around play and creativity. I love the idea of programming being a creative pursuit and not strictly a technical one.

So pleased to see why’s poignant guide to Ruby is maintained and online. It was one of the first ways I learned Ruby. Browsing through it reminds/invigorates me that programming can be done for fun and experimenting and art. Not just for Business Goals.

A colleague shared this Atkinson Hyperlegible font from the Braille Institute. I’m going to give it a go on some personal projects.

graphl-docs uses MiniTest, so I’ve been having to use it for the first time in a long time, and it’s quite nice! I’m able to be productive and express what I want with it. My takeaway: to a certain extent, what matters most is how you approach writing tests, not the lib.

The default community style (from RuboCop, maybe others?) of putting the magic `# frozen_string_literal: true` comment at the top of every Ruby file is such an inelegant solution. I get what it does, I get why it does it, but it’s pretty silly.

PR for introducing a CLI to graphql-docs! Ruby’s OptionParser makes it really easy to write a CLI with lots of options without adding another dependency. 😌.

Dream project: strategy RPG (loosely) based on War & Peace with visual novel storytelling between battles.

The experience of coding in TypeScript is such a significant improvement over Ruby and JavaScript that I can’t imagine starting a full stack web app in anything but it.

A comprehensive guide to leveling up as a developer. Really proud of this vid.

Got an extremely simple version of concom working—a little CLI for more easily writing conventional commits. I want to make the types configurable and improve it a bit more.

I started working on this in Rust, and it’s been fun so far. It’s simple yet useful. 😌.
