Interesting day trying to get Stripe’s checkout components working in React. Few interesting gotcha’s—like having to proxy local dev as Stripe won’t work without trusted SSL cert.

I love React’s Lazy & Suspense. Because so am I, and anything that lets me load on demand in a few lines... yup. Take this cart I’m building—lot of custom code, but no need to pull that fat payload in until users ready to checkout. Halved load wait with 5min work.

It's awfully lonely in here... (GitKraken)

Ahhhh Fulham, where you can pay for dinner with Instagram posts...

✅ Smart new Mallzee hoodies ✅ Extremely friendly dog in the office ✅ 24° weather forecast for Scotland Tuesday is feeling pretty good!

All the weird things that break when you upgrade to Node 10 from (ancient version of node). The shock. Ah, those long forgotten VHosts lurking in the corners of your company cloud.

Alright, it's true. I have an extra pair of these AirPods Pro to give away. Just RT and you're in. Will pick a winner in 24 hours. Good luck!

Ready for another AirPods Pro giveaway? Got five pairs this time. Just RT and you're in! Giveaway open worldwide, winners will be picked on Monday. Good luck!

Anyone doing audio/streaming stuff on a Mac, keep well away from the Big Sur beta for now. Internal changes means all the audio routing stuff capture/audio mixes uses simply won't work. Developers need time to catch up and they don't even have test kit yet.

Generating Excel worksheets from React is… uh... ok

Still looking for a few more devs to join our crew. #laravel #react #edinburgh

Painful day dancing with nginx, express & react.. but I now have a nice deploy tool chain and a fast web app. Now to build out the last bits of functionality...

Spent the last few days finishing up a tiny customer portal web app in react/express. Was fun to do a little server side stuff for a change, too.

Working on site browser support. Stats over 3mo? 13k users with IE or Edge. 1.4 million using Safari/Chrome/Android. Microsoft Edge what can I say?

Engineer: “I can write that code.” Senior Engineer: “Should we write that code?” Staff Engineer: “We should delete that code.” Principal Engineer: “Delete all the code.”

...annnnnway. This is not my writing account. This is my code account. Ummm.

Weird React bugs are... weird. Time to sleep.

I have now been working with Shopify templates and custom API stuff for a few months... and I’m starting to not hate it. It’s powerful, easy to work with, mostly and... I need a holiday.
