My Codex Workflow So Far and How It Keeps Me Focused

A recent Codex demo made me realize I could address three headaches right away: communication, project management, and industry updates.

AI for Developers

One might think computer vision models are supposed to be easy to put into production. There are whole companies built on that promise.

JavaScript

With Promise.all, a bundle can be rejected due to one failed promise. Instead, use Promise.allSettled to manage the state of your promises.

Development Practices

When should a developer copy and paste vs. type out a new function, class, or component when they must apply a pattern? Let's explore this!

GitHub Actions

In GitHub Actions, a matrix is a great tool to use with multiple variables. Map 1:1 key-value pairs in a matrix with GitHub Actions.

Developer Tools

Vim users: Here are two alternatives to modify your Caps Lock with Escape that don't involve installing Karabiner-Elements.

Azure

Error handling to pass credentials for Azure/functions-action@v1. This action allows you to deploy an Azure Function App from GitHub Actions.

React / Redux

Development Practices

Learn how you can manage multiple SSH keys to keep your work accounts and personal projects safely separate.
