Working with a different technology stack for the last month has given me hope that there’s still at least a small market for programming books. Even though I’ve been writing code almost daily with an assist from A.I. tools, asking constant questions as I go along, there’s…
During recent job interviews, people ask if I write tests. Why yes, I do. Even though “Back To Now” is currently a little app, it has over 200 unit tests & counting, so Claude and I can keep going as fast as possible every day: apps.apple.com/us/app/back-to…
Here’s a short demo of the slideshow feature. apps.apple.com/us/app/back-to…

If you’re interested in #mindfulness, I created Back To Now as a “mindfulness reminder” app. Just add your favorite quotes and images, set up a schedule, and it sends you custom reminders. Some friends like the slideshow feature even more. apps.apple.com/us/app/back-to…

A man in his 80s asked me to ghostwrite a letter to a woman he met at church. Now they have a date this week. I’m not sure if I’m a hopeless romantic or starting a niche side hustle. :)
Okay, I just wrapped up some small projects and I’m ready to go back to work full time! Anyone need some Scala or maybe some technical writing? (There’s a reason I didn’t go into sales or marketing. 😂)
I just saw that we are now over 1,800 course registrations. #Scala and #FunctionalProgramming training, all 100% free.

One Sunday many moons ago I was working at a client site and thought I was alone, and was playing a Led Zeppelin song ridiculously loud as I worked. Then a security guard came in and yelled that he could hear it all the way down the hallway, and I yelled back, “It’s great,…
A great thing about learning #Scala is that it has every feature you’d want in a programming language, and those features are generally implemented in a logical, consistent manner. So when you work in another language, it’s just a matter of translating that feature back to what…
I just noticed that we’re now over 1,750 registrations, which is pretty cool.
Alaska was an amazing place to work, because during the summer you’re awake 20 hours a day, and during the winter it’s dark all the time, so you’re like, “I guess I’ll just stay in, make some coffee and fresh-baked cookies, and write a book.” :)

A thing I love about ZIO HTTP is that a server-side application is just a map of (a) route patterns to (b) their handlers, where each entry is essentially just a function from a Request to a Response. #scala #functionalprogramming

I slightly modified an example from the ZIO Streams website for my ZIO Streams course, and it ended up being one of the most fun and interesting examples I’ve ever worked with. Playing with the delay times and buffer sizes was a 😱🤯🤩 experience. Videos are here:…

I don’t watch many movies, but my nieces made me watch Bridesmaids, and that eventually led to seeing this favorite quote about finding meaning in work.
If you haven’t had a chance to look at Kyo yet, the first ~20 minutes of this video is a nice introduction. 👍👍 As just one example, you’ll learn what this syntax means: val s: String < IO = IO(readFile(filename)) There’s also a really nice map/flatMap surprise in there…
