- Me on On the Board, 10 Nov
I was on episode 4 of the On The Board podcast: Taking on New Challenges. I’m never quite sure what parts of my experience people will relate to, but it was a good chat with Jason and Michael about becoming a newb late in my career. (read..) - Coverage.py originally, 2 Nov
Coverage.py was started in 2001 but not by me. It’s interesting to see how small it started (350 lines!) and how far it’s come (20k lines). (read..) - GitHub action security: zizmor, 30 Oct
Zizmor is a new tool to check your GitHub action workflows for security concerns. I found it really helpful to lock down actions. (read..) - Git aliases: switch to mainster, etc, 26 Oct
Some of my more elaborate git command aliases, explained. (read..) - and many more..
