I'm a software developer from Dublin 🇮🇪

I’ve racked servers at an Internet forum and been CTO at an AI startup, and written a lot of code in between. Low-key otaku.

Timeless.
Four panel comic of two people in shirts, one says “pro skub”, the other “anti skub”. They start fighting, then others are pulling then apart. The last panel is a jar labelled skub.

Visited a volcano yesterday. It erupted today 😅
Couple posing for photo at Yunohira Observation Deck on Sakurajima, Japan. Volcano is visible in background, not erupting. Photo from Kagoshima city, showing Sakurajima erupting. A pyroclastic cloud is reaching towards the sky from the crater.

Bluesky loves books, so here are some pictures of the oldest book I own, a Temple Shakespeare Coriolanus. It’s not particularly rare, but I remember finding it in a old second hand bookstore in Dublin when I was 15, and being amazed that this book had been around since 1897 and was now in my hands.
Spine of a very timeworn book, with “CORIOLANUS” printed in gold leaf. Inside cover of the book, an image of a lamb with a halo carrying a flag in the upper left, a winged-horse in the lower right, and “The Temple Shakespeare” printed in the centre By the kind permission of Messrs Macmillan E Go. and W. Aldis Wright, Esq., the text here used is that of the " Cambridge" Edition, A T First Edition of this issue of "Coriolanus" printed Fanwary 1896. Second Edition, Fanuary 1897. Block printed art with the title and publishers details (follows): • SHAKESPEARES •TRAGEDY OF • • CORIOLANVS • WITH • PREFACE• • GLOSSARY- &cBY • • ISRAEL GOLLANCZ• •M•A• •MCCCCVII•PUBLISHED • BY• J•M• DENT • •AND • CO: ALDINE• HOUSE• LONDON • E•C•

Favourite quality-of-life functionality to include when I write an API client is automatic pagination via generators.

It's simple to implement in JS and Python, and otherwise some developers just set the highest limit possible ("I'll implement pagination later") or miss entries entirely.
/** * Generic generator for paginated data retrieval. * * @param endpoint - The API endpoint to fetch data from. * @param params - Additional query parameters for the request. * @returns An asynchronous generator yielding individual items from each page. */ private async *fetchPaginatedData<T>( endpoint: string, params: Record<string, any> = {}, ): AsyncGenerator<T, void, unknown> { let nextCursor: string | null = null; do { const response = await this.client.get<PaginationResponse<T>>(endpoint, { params: { ...params, from: nextCursor }, }); for (const item of response.data.results) { yield item; } nextCursor = response.data.next; } while (nextCursor); }
