I have now joined Bluesky. Nothing poor can come from this.
I write blog posts on technical topics, media recommendations, and others. I also have an in-progress story called "Runic".

Wrote a new post on logging. It's hard to write correctly.
While mostly a rant, I hope someone finds the advice at the end useful.

A game I follow called "Random Access Mayhem" launched a developer progress blog. I really enjoy it, so if you follow me you might too.

God, fixing unit tests is hard. Like, they make sure that I'm not breaking my existing database access layer code when I make an update, but the way I had them set up before? *Awful*. Just the worst. Took me like 4 hours to get it fixed.
Don't hardcode complex unit test data. It is Painful.

I hate having bad dandruff.
I scratch my head, dumbfounded, and particulates of dead skin cells fall off me.
Horrible, awful, why can't I find a dandruff shampoo that works.

So, I've spent the last few days doing a pretty major rewrite on the database access layer of my website. I'll have a blog post up soon going over it.
