The problem I set out to solve was simply to avoid manually typing pyenv/venv commands when moving into directories containing different projects, and around my directory tree. If you are like me, you would be working on different things at different times, and switching projects around seamlessly becomes a requirement to avoid waste of time, attention and context.

I started learning Go on and off out of curiosity, earlier this year. Being mainly a Python developer, I figured learning a different programming language would help to broaden my horizons.

It’s been an interesting 2018: this was the first year I have coded fulltime while getting also paid for it.

I recently stumbled into an issue that had me stumped for a couple days. I have been writing a small tool that would read a list of domains, their registrar, and their date of expiry; it would then take that data to create a Google Calendar reminder for each domain. It’s relatively simple to do, by knowing how to get...
