Fingers crossed it works for you 🫰 In the last few months, I decided to transfer my UK domain name and email hosting from 123 Reg to Hostinger. Essentially I’d gotten tired of looking at a UI which looks like it hasn’t been updated in years… and wanted to find…

Eight Lessons I’ve Learnt in a Year of Freelancing as a Software Engineer

Oh, heck, where has the time gone? — It’s been just over a year since I decided to take the plunge and start freelancing. Prior to doing this, I had been working full time in various companies in London as a software engineer, i.e., a bog-standard 9 to 5. Freelancing is definitely a different way of working which…

How to Color-code Your Deployment Environments

And become a productivity guru 💯 — Background For one of the client projects that I’m working on, we have multiple deployment environments up and running.

Bored of Lorem Ipsum? Try These Alternative Filler Texts for Your Apps Instead

Get creative with dummy texts — We’ve all heard of ‘Lorem ipsum’ — the dummy text used as a placeholder for real content. This allows a designer or developer to concentrate on the design of a web page — without it looking empty or using distracting real copy. It has its roots in Latin — though…

And turn your database into a smart spreadsheet — What is NocoDB? NocoDB enables you to interact with your relational databases online (and locally) — acting essentially like a spreadsheet. Once set up and deployed, you can easily grant access to other people and control their permissions. Why did I want to use it? With one of my clients I would often get a similar vein of question —…

Reflecting on building a bowling command line application

And all the ways I’d write it differently today — For my first ever programming project (discounting some terrible first websites 😜) I wrote a bowling command line application (CLI).
