Monkinetic Weblog

Being the curious sort, I wondered what it would take to generate #barcodes programmatically, and found this neat site. Here's "monkinetic.blog" rendered as a Code 128 barcode:

Then I found a barcode package for #golang, so of course I'm trying to decide what on this site I could generate barcodes for...

I really like a good #codeascraft comparison. From DeployHQ, via Zeldman:

Woodworkers and web developers have this in common:

Visit a professional woodshop and ask a master carpenter what her favourite tool is. You may find it’s not a tool in the traditional sense, but a “jig” she built. In woodworking, jigs are patterns or templates built to make repeatable tasks more efficient and outcomes more consistent. Building a one-off bookcase may not warrant building a jig. But, if you’re building three or four of the same bookcase, it’s likely worth building a jig first, then using that jig to build the bookcases.

Our jig consists of a small command line application which integrates publicly accessible API’s from these service providers

Taking the time to make the tools to help do the work is the best thing to do, and knowing when to take that time is an important part of an engineer's maturing process (see #yakshaving, Code As Craft)

'The Dwarves tell no tale; but even as mithril was the foundation of their wealth, so also it was their destruction: they delved too greedily and too deep, and disturbed that from which they fled, Durin's Bane.' The Lord of the Rings

Tonight I generated a series of 15 invite codes for Pushcode and send them out to some folks that have been interested in, or encouraging to, my work on the app. This is the first step in a new (hopefully long) journey, but it's only the latest step in another long journey.
