  1. Anonymous Companies

    Permalink: Anonymous Companies

    I'm not sure that I support the idea of removing privacy for businesses. It's essentially an argument about restricting the liberties of companies, which is a restriction of the liberties of the people who make up those companies.

    As Benjamin Franklin famously said:

    They who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

    I certainly understand the sentiment behind being able to hold people accountable, but I think it could also open up the ability for abuse.

  3. Quote Styles Updated

    I've updated the way quotation-only posts are styled across the site, which included some new blueprints and templates in Kirby CMS. Nothing too fancy, but it was nice to change things up a bit and make quotes stand out and be a bit more readable.

  5. Code Reviews

    When working with a team, always send code through a code review process.

    If the code is so trivial that it doesn't need to be reviewed, then you definitely need it to go through code review.

    The reasoning for this is that if you knew there were issues with the code you'd have fixed them already. The more certain you are that there are no issues, the more important it is to send it through code review.

  6. Automating

    ‘Automating’ comes from the roots ‘auto-’ meaning ‘self-’, and ‘mating’, meaning ‘screwing’.

  8. Poorly Written Code

    Code when it does not conform to the language standard, that you read in the same way in translation Can not you read the insufficient text becomes difficult to it.

    True friends stab you in the front.
