Programming

List of conventional terms, etc.

Strategies surrounding stateful object creation.

UX, Accessibility, Design

Basic building blocks of UI design, with some of my notes (an ongoing effort).

A rapid deep-dive on the favicon, a feature I am always surprised to hear so much about from super users.

History and round-up of well-known wayfinding symbols used in the United States, including rest rooms, international symbol of accessibility, recreation, and transportation.

The moments that give me pause and signal I may need to re-evaluate when/where I utilize a particular technique.

Re-usability

Getting started with Vuetify's base components, mixins, and factories. Because really, you don't want to re-invent groupable behavior every single time.

Communicating across the stack

I firmly believed the JavaScript ➡ Server hand-off in a stack is not talked about enough. Especially true when there are documentation issues in the stack itself.

Common methods for managing request cancellation and spinner display.

Without a CDN, if you want beautiful imagery and good performance, you need to think through serving the correct assets. It's no small task. I've built a couple of dynamic image generators/APIs and I really enjoy this kind of project. They are a bit nerve-wracking.

Lived experience managing cases of shared memory use and threading particular scenarios.

DevOps

Conceptual notes from experiments and sourcing container images.
