Blog.
Repositories Are at the Center of Development and Production.
As mentioned in last week’s Sunday Reboot, I’ve recovered a few of my old posts from the Wayback Machine—all from my time at the now shut-down Fixate.io (via their blog, Sweetcode). These are all freelance topics, so the style of writing is a bit different than normal (for me, at...
