Web and app developer. Coffee, beer, and running, in any order.
This is the story of a catastrophic software bug I briefly introduced into the PayPal codebase that almost cost us the company (or so it seemed, in the moment.)
File this one in the “no developer is above making insane mistakes” folder.
The new guy’s API policy changes at twitter broke my website’s syndication. But it’s back now!
I’m trying to update my website to be able to post to Twitter again and gosh are the new API restrictions a pain.
I love when I get to the end of a chunk of work and I get to close all the tabs I’ve collected in the process.
At work I document the sites I found helpful along the way in a wiki shared with my team.
I just finished adding support for Photo posts to my website with the ability to syndicate to both Twitter and Mastodon. These are some of the sticking points I ran into with Mastodon and Django.
