Its been a minute since I’ve attempted to blog something, gosh! I’ve decided to embark on a journey of exploring some new languages and frameworks, starting with Rust. If time allows this will be the first of many such posts. This post will be updated as I progress, keeping all my notes in one place.
»Recently I did something quite common: I declared a blank array in a component…then strange things started happening.
»Today I was building out a new route in a quite unspectacular way in our app, as per usual I simply generated a new route using the ember-cli generator ember g route my-dashed-name.
I was looking into list styles today and stumbled across a CSS property that I’ve never seen before: counter-increment - here is an explanation.

I decided to work through this great introductory Phoenix framework tutorial by Erik today.
At the point of running the initial $ mix ecto.create command however, it bombed on me, with this little message:
I decided to do a little tutorial on building a hacker news reader in Ember, since I can’t find a recent tutorial on it. The idea is heavily inspired by the hacker news reader built by @donovan-graham. So let’s get started!
»While browsing Hacker news today I came across an article on medium on what makes a good programmer. This lead me to a list of hilarious quotes that I just thought I’d share again, but of course, all credit goes to Naresh Kumar for compiling the list:
»I am finally back online. After wrestling for a while with github pages and getting my apex domain (this one), working alongside subdomains that I use for my projects, I finally concluded that it was simply not going to happen, and accepted defeat. But alas!
