What if you don’t use Homebrew?

March 3, 2024 » Carlton's latest posts. » [Archived Version]

I use a 2021 MacBook Pro. When I got it, I decided not to use a system package manager, specifically Homebrew, but I wasn’t in the market for MacPorts or anything else either.

Safely rewriting complex code

Feb. 29, 2024 » Screaming At My Screen » [Archived Version]

There is a lot of advice out there suggesting to never rewrite anything. Just improve it in small increments. This is sound advice for services, modules or large chunks of code.
