Robocode is a programming game, where the goal is to develop a robot battle tank to battle against other tanks in Java or .NET. The robot battles are running in real-time and on-screen.
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: š 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
Not nearly as confusing as it is in JavaScript.
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
bool mach = Regex.IsMatch("input", @"w+", RegexOptions.None);
Match match = Regex.Match("input", @"w+");
IReadOnlyList<Match> matches = Regex.Matches("input", @"w+");
string result = Regex.Replace("input", @"(w+)", "$1");
Vue.js Tutorial
vuejs/vue: Vue.js is a progressive, incrementally-adoptable JavaScript framework for building UI on the web.
Why Vue
100k+ ā: So many people canāt be wrong- Declarative rendering with a cool, terse syntax
- Low learning curve
- Reactive and composable view components
- Optional official
vue-routerandvuex(statemanagement) @vue/cli: Scaffold project with optional support for TypeScript, PWA, CSS Pre-processors, Linters, Tests, ā¦- Automatic dependency tracking

Git Hooks with Husky
Update for Husky v9
A lot has changed in Husky since this blog post. See the 2024 update of this article instead!
Avoid pushing changes that break the build with githooks and Husky.

Rubber Duck Debugging
Talk to the Duck
When confronted with a problem, donāt ask the person next to you for help right away, heās probably doing something important as well!
Instead, first tell the duck about it – out loud. If you donāt get to a solution, start explaining your problem in more and more detail until it hits you. If the mere explanation led to a solution, you avoid unwillingly turning your colleague into a CardboardProgrammer.
Create a new blog post
This is something for me (or anyone else really) because I keep forgetting all this stuff.

Git Assume Unchanged
Ideally one would create a new gitignored file to configure an application to fit his local development environment but when you do have to revert to modifying a committed configuration file, at least there is āgit assume unchangedā to avoid committing your changes in these files accidentally.
Assume Unchanged
# Git assume a file
git update-index --assume-unchanged fileName
# And unassume with
git update-index --no-assume-unchanged fileName
Autohotkey DynaRun
Run any Autohotkey script on the web with a single.. Autohotkey hotkey.
