Refactoring Gospel
Let's talk about the current refactoring I'm in the middle of.

Wrapping Your Arms Around A Big Tree
Sometimes, trying to work on a codebase feels like trying to wrap your arms all the way around a big tree. Today I talk about this experience and push the analogy to i...
A Lovely Refactor
After being away for the Livewire codebase for a while, coming back to it was kind of painstaking. Instead of slogging through it, I decided to "make the change easy"....
My Biggest Struggle As A Web Developer
