πŸ’ž Cute names, NYC Slice and Clever Code

Hello there!

Happy New Year!

It's been a while, welcome to this year's first issue. So much has happened already and I'm looking forward to everything 2023 will bring my way :)

In case you missed it, I was mostly off-the-grid in December: I got to meet my buddies, and also participated in Advent of Code! This year I lasted longer (Day 13 🫑) than I ever have before, and I did it all in Elixir!! I absolutely loved doing it and learnt so much. Check out my solutions.

I spent last week playing around with Cloudflare Workers' Durable Objectsβ€”it's a pretty cool lil' thing. I built a live viewers counter for my website but ultimately didn't merge it because it requires a paid subscription from Cloudflare. πŸ˜… It was a good experience working with it though! You can check it out in this merge request.

Onwards with this year! πŸš€

  • Names should be cute, not descriptive "The world is boring enough as is. Let's add more whimsy and cuteness through our service and project names."

  • Clever Code Considered Harmful "In the context of a shared codebase, good code is simple code. Code that doesn’t do anything fancy. Code that makes minimal use of abstractions."

  • UX Engineer, a terminal career

  • Functional programming is finally going mainstream Can you tell I've been in love with Elixir recently??
