A while ago, I solved the round robin following programming challenge in Lua. Here’s the problem, and my solution.

A few weeks back I tackled the following programming challenge from my colleague Josh Branchaud:

Vim Buffer

I open up a new Vim buffer and type all the numbers 1 to 10,000, separated by spaces. Then, my cat walks on the keyboard and somehow activates a substitution command that replaces all the ‘0’ digits (zeros) with spaces. If I now sum up all the numbers in the buffer, as delineated by spaces, what is the total?

Here’s my annual professional review covering 2015.

This month marks three years since I started programming; I’d like to take a minute and reflect on this milestone.

Project announcement! Last night I built a Markov Chain-generated novel, titled Ceramic Nation.

Recently, I was thinking about the N + 1 problem. N + 1 is a performance issue in a web application, where a method call unleashes a torrent of database queries.

A few years ago, I wrote my first computer program. Today, I am a full-time programmer. In this post, I’ll list the resources and ideas that helped me get started.

What does &: mean in Ruby? In this post, I’ll explain.

This week in Code Club we explored Rack, the middleware of the Rails stack. Rack is newsworthy of late due to a change in ownership, prompting inevitable questions about the future. As Rails developers, we wanted to know what Rack really does.

Starting with this blog post, I will be using Vim as my primary text editor.
