This is awesome. I don't do any graphics programming and don't really have any Raylib experience (or keep up with the projects developments) but it inspired me to begin learning C this past few months. I started…
For me it's the people. I've been at my current company for ~4 years. Every January the upper management folks kick off the same project and every year it dies in the planning/discussion phase. Maybe one or two other…
I don't need a whole paragraph just: Copilot+ Recall.
I really like the standalone lit-html rendering library but never really saw a need for Lit. Honestly, I find it hard to see a need for more than <any client-side rendering lib> + Web Components when I want client-side…

5am I go for a 2 mile run with my dog When I get home I start a pot of coffee Shower If it's a work from office day I leave for work at 5:45 (~15 minute drive) 1-2 hours of reading HN, twitter, blogs I grab my sticky…

I have always found articles/discussions of code reviews fascinating. In the 10(ish) years I've been employed as a programmer I've never worked in a department with more than ten people and every time the work is…
I'm working on a Rust library that offers a higher-level API for generating PostScript and Encapsulated PostScript files. https://github.com/codewithkyle/pslib
A part of me jokes that Micro$oft only invested in OpenAI because it's the only sensible way to browse .NET/Nuget package(s) documentation. The other part knows it's dreadfully true.
If you have not seen it I'd recommend watching Rich Hickey's talk on Hammock Driven Development: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f84n5oFoZBc
I use tools like a persistence layer for my thoughts. I can "think in words" but my brain defaults to "thinking in pictures" mode. When I think about a database schema I automatically visualize the tables and the…
Pretty much any internal tool/TUI/CLI/library I've created. If I had to guess I'd say at most 25% of the company projects I've worked on have launched AND have consistent usage. Working hard on something just for it to…
I don't think you can compare the productivity of someones passion with someone who's writing code they're told to write at a job.

I think my favourite weekend project I've built was an image transformer plugin for Craft CMS. The popular (and only) free image plugin had been deprecated and the author was only going to continue supporting their paid…
It's not a commercial product but I've spent some time building a Magic The Gathering deck builder[0]. I want to build a VTT engine but I feel like if I'm gonna receive a cease and desist letter from Hasbro that'll be…
I help maintain a user-facing ASP.NET project running .NET Framework 4.5 that uses jQuery 1.0 for most of the UI. We launched our first new feature using HTMX back in November and it worked out pretty well for us and we…
My gut says I would use query params though I typically stick with 1 action effects 1 record. I can't recall any specific times when I built bulk item management into an app but I'd say that's a personal preference on…
I'm not someone who usually gets excited by new major releases of frameworks/libraries but this one feels different. I got my start with CRUD PHP websites with jQuery. I've been using HTMX for the last year and it fills…
This is how I've used DELETE. Something like DELETE /users/{uniqueUserId}. In ~10 years of building CRUD apps I don't think I've ever sent a body or query params with a request.
