I didn't want to post on Instagram until I had this problem solved. I need my Instagram posts to be copied to my blog so i have a controlled copy of my content. The service I used got blocked by Instagram so I had to write my own. So now I'm good again. Remember, we're in a borrowed platform and we don't control if our data gets deleted or removed. #indieweb #micropub #pesos #nerd #webdev #python #Developer #webdeveloper #geek #programmerlife #programmer #dev #code #coderlife #coder

Simplicity (II)

September 10th, 2019

When you ever had to fix just a few lines of CSS and it took two hours to get an ancient version of Gulp up and running, you know what I’m talking about.

I feel seen.

When everything works, it feels like magic. When something breaks, it’s hell.

I concur with Bastian’s advice:

I have a simple rule of thumb when it comes to programming:

less code === less potential issues

And this observation rings very true:

This dependency hell is also the reason why old projects are almost like sealed capsules. You can hardly let a project lie around for more than a year, because afterwards it’s probably broken.

Cancelling Requests with Abortable Fetch

April 20th, 2018

This is a really good use-case for cancelling fetch requests: making API calls while autocompleting in search.

Owning my Code Snippets

It's very convenient to be able to quickly share a link to a code snippet, which is something I've mostly done using gist.github.com. While often the code snippets are sort of throwaway, I still feel bad that I'm posting them in a place that I don't control.

Finally packaged up my HTTP functions into a library! https://github.com/aaronpk/p3k-http Previously I had been copy+pasting these around to quite a few projects. Happy to have consolidated these finally!
