  • Newsletters and indie iOS apps

    2025-07-13

    A list of great little indie iOS (and sometimes Android!) apps recently, and links to the places that I found them - usually interesting newsletters.

  • The Way I Code (and have been coding for 30 years)

    2025-07-12

    Start with good decomposition. Then use encapsulation to create good abstractions. That's how I code. That's how I was taught to code 30 years ago. And it's still how I code today.

  • Adding Plugin Installation and User Switching to Turbo Admin

    2025-05-29

    Turbo Admin finally has plugin installation and user switching support. And some other nice improvements. I'll also probably be setting up an email list for customers, and there may be a long-overdue price-rise in the works too.

  • My latest thoughts on AI

    2025-04-08

    Here’s the thing. People are saying “It’s not like blockchain”. And it really is, from my vantage point.

  • One does not simply update one’s dependencies

    2025-04-04

    I started trying to explain what I was doing and why, and as I did so I realised all the many, many things you have to understand for this process to make sense.

  • I am ACTUALLY good at programming

    2025-03-05

    The last few weeks have shown me that OOP, types, static analysis, linting - good developer tooling! - is all really good and actually helpful on larger codebases and when working with teams. I had an inkling, but now I'm actually feeling it.
