"One of our values is 'Do-What-It-Takes.' Please provide an example of a time you’ve applied this and what the impact was." I'm kind of tired of the rinse-and-repeat job description-focused answers. 'I always met deadlines cause I did what it took', 'the customers were 99.98% happy with the results', etc... They've yielded no positive results for me on my job hunt. I'm not standing out over the noise of the 999 other applications. So, I kind of just write what I feel now. If something sticks, we'll probably have that "culture fit" we're all seeking these days. Anyway, here's what…

In this post, we will explore how to create a complete API using the Effect ecosystem. Although the Effect documentation is excellent, there are not many examples of full applications. If you have never heard of Effect, I suggest you take a look at the website: https://effect.website/ Effect is not just another framework but instead acts as the missing standard library for TypeScript. Because of this, I believe Effect is truly the future for TypeScript, especially when considering the challenges associated with writing production-ready applications in "plain" TypeScript. To understand more about these challenges and how Effect addresses them, watch…

Apple typically labels a product as "vintage" if its been out of distribution for at least five years — however, Apple only discontinued the HomePod three years ago. These products can still get repaired, as long as parts are available.Apple first…

Ever since Apple’s MacBooks switched to the company’s homegrown M-series chips, Windows users have wondered when a similar revolution would happen to their machines. To Microsoft’s credit, it hasn’t been for a lack of trying. Way back in 2012, the company released the with an Arm-based processor, which is the same architecture used in Apple’s silicon. Unfortunately, a tiny app library, sluggish performance and limited software compatibility made using one full-time kind of frustrating. Then in 2017, Microsoft renewed its efforts with .
