One of the best ways to reduce complexity (read: stress) in web development is to minimize the differences between your development and production environments. After being frustrated by attempts to unify the approach to SSL on my local machine and in production, I searched for a workflow that would make the protocol invisible to me between all environments.
Most workflows make the following compromises:
-
Use HTTPS in production but HTTP locally. This is annoying because it makes the environments inconsistent, and the protocol choices leak up into the stack. For example, your web application needs to understand the underlying protocol when using the
secureflag for cookies. If you don't get this right, your HTTP development server won't be able to read the cookies it writes, or worse, your HTTPS production server could pass sensitive cookies over an insecure connection. -
Use production SSL certificates locally. This is annoying

In the new year, I plan on archiving the repositories below. Because I plan on only archiving the repositories, any project that depends on any of these projects will continue to work. However, I will no longer be accepting issues or pull requests and will never tag a new release.
The reality of each of the projects listed below is that I've almost completely ignored issues and pull requests for
github.com/twotwotwo/sorts is a Go package with parallel radix- and quicksorts. It can run up to 5x faster than stdlib sort on the right kind of large sort task, so it could be useful for analysis and indexing/database-y work in which you have to sort millions of items. (To be clear, I don't recommend most folks drop stdlib sort, which is great, and which sorts depends on.)
While the process of writing it's fresh on my mind, here are some technical details, some things that didn't make the cut, and some thoughts about the process:
Concretely, what this looks like inside:
-
Both number and string versions are in-place MSD radix sorts that look at a byte at a time and, once the range being sorted gets down to 128 items, call (essentially) the stdlib's quicksort.
