I’m proud to announce the first stable release of gg, my alternative Git command-line interface! This has been a release over two years in the making: I’ve battle-tested gg across many different workflows and projects. It’s saved me tons of time every day, and I hope it can save time for others too. Download the latest release and try it out for yourself!
I’m excited to announce that I am joining the engineering team at YourBase! YourBase’s flagship product is a build system that greatly improves the speed of software development with very little configuration. It brings me back to what I’m passionate about: improving how people work by making software simpler. It’s still early days, but I’m excited by the enthusiasm and the respectful, remote-first culture I’ve found at YourBase. I can’t wait to see what we build together!
Since I’ve started working at Clutter, I’ve grown to enjoy the Apollo React Client library. However, I’ve noticed that the client’s caching behavior can be difficult to understand and cause surprising issues, so I’ve decided to collect my findings into one easily digestible post. This post assumes a basic understanding of GraphQL.
The major hidden component of Apollo Client is the cache, which sits between every query and the backend server.
I’m excited to share my hobby project from the last few months: a GraphQL server library for Go. While it doesn’t implement the whole spec and might not be ready for production, I think it’s in a useful enough state to share more broadly. I’ve tested this library out with some toy projects and the results have been promising: I’m able to quickly publish a Go struct as a GraphQL endpoint.
Check it out now by reading the docs and adding it to your project with:
go get zombiezen.com/go/graphql-server/graphql
It’s been a little over a year since I wrote about using Getting Things Done (GTD) to organize my life. I wanted to circle back about what worked well and what I learned over that time.
