First Hack
A long, long time ago, when games like Utopia and Planetarion were all the rage, I started playing Ambar (since down) with a few friends. This could be the story of why one should have an IT-guy in the team.
CQRS and CRUD
A ramble against CQRS
A lot of interesting articles have been published about Command Query Responsibility Segregation.
This is a mere rant. Not necessarily against CQRS per se, but against when it is being applied in spite of Martin Fowlers cautionary words:
For some situations, this separation can be valuable, but beware that for most systems CQRS adds risky complexity.

VSCode: Editor Settings and Shortcuts
Pragmatic Tip 22: The editor should be an extension of your hand; make sure your editor is configurable, extensible, and programmable.
Pragmatic Tip #22 : Use A Single Editor Well
Pragmatic Tip 22: The editor should be an extension of your hand; make sure your editor is configurable, extensible, and programmable.
As a long time Sublime user, the infrequent updates and missing support for new-ish stuff started to become quite apparent. Like all plugin maintainers have turned to Visual Studio Code.
And so I finally decided to leave Sublime Text 3 behind. Welcome Visual Studio Code, the new goto editor.
The itenium Bliki
Personal Reference Bliki
Everyone who has worked with me for a while knows I’m really hyped about the Pragmatic Programmers. My original idea back in 2012 was to blog about their pragmatic tips, but this blog has instead turned into more of a “personal reference bliki”.
DateStart + DateEnd
ValueObjects
A ramble against objects containing DateStart & DateEnd pairs of properties.
Some of their equally evil relatives:
DateStart&TimeSpanorDay/Month only in DateTime, etc.decimal Money&string Currencydecimal X/Yand/orWidth/Height
This is the case for the ValueObject:
A small simple object, like money or a date
range, whose equality isn’t based on identity.

Autohotkey Debugging
If you are like me, you just started writing Authotkey scripts without ever really taking the time to learn the language properly. This blog post contains some scripts and tools to help you try make some sense of what is going on.
AVA Tutorial
avajs/ava: 🚀 Testing can be a drag. AVA helps you get it done.
A concurrent test runner from the Andromeda galaxy. If I was to stray from Jasmine then it could only be for a project Sindre Sorhus is working on :) The screenshots on the project site promised extensive assertion failure output with clean stack traces and built-in Promise, async/await, Observable and React component support. So I tried it out and yup, AVA delivered.
Get Started
# Install
npm init ava
# Run tests
npx ava --watch --verbose
.NET Regex Tutorial

using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
bool mach = Regex.IsMatch("input", @"w+", RegexOptions.None);
