The other day I had some time in between work and an improv show I was doing that night, so to pass the time, I created a simple web experiment in CSS.
I bought the new 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons players handbook. Having thought 4th edition was somewhat akin to the Jar-Jar Binks of D&D, I was excited to be excited by the game again.
Jekyll is a tool for static site generation, and it’s what powers Github pages , both of which generate and host this site, respectively.
When a developer moves to a new company, one of the biggest transitions is adapting to the new code base. While most companies will be understanding of newcomers making their way into the rigorous complexities of unknown machine-speak, that slack isn’t limitless, and it’s important to understand the code quickly.
