 * THE JOY OF TINKERING
   
   Published:Jun 23, 2024 |  at 11:59 PM
   
   Discover the joy of tinkering. Inspired by a post I read on the habits of
   great software engineers, I try to explore what I think it means to be a
   tinkerer and why I think you should be one too.


 * CREATING A PORTABLE GIT CONFIG (.GITCONFIG)
   
   Published:Jan 12, 2024 |  at 11:59 PM
   
   I got sick of having to change my Git configuration regularly for different
   machines, depending if I was working on a personal or a professional project,
   so I decided to sit down and create a portable Git config file.

   Published:Dec 3, 2023 |  at 08:00 PM
   
   Are you sick of filling your TypeScript code with noisy type assertions?
   Maybe with this you can remove them from your code completely.


 * BUILDING MY FIRST BROWSER EXTENSION
   
   Published:Nov 27, 2023 |  at 11:59 PM
   
   Join me as a try to build my first browser extension, "Hacker News Scroller".
   Nothing too fancy, just a casual walkthrough of the process and the hiccups I
   faced along the way.

   Published:Dec 4, 2023 |  at 07:59 PM
   
   As I was working on a kata, as I do in my spare time, yeah, I'm a loser. I
   realised that I didn't know how to make my Node applications executable. So I
   decided to find out how and share it with you.
