VSCode config to disable popular extensions' annoyances (telemetry, notifications, welcome pages, etc.)
// I'm tired of extensions that automatically:
// - show welcome pages / walkthroughs
// - show release notes
// - send telemetry
// - recommend things

// This disables all of that stuff.

Automating Daily Reports, because fuck it, really...

Each day at our company, developers are required to document their activities, painstakingly jotting down their daily work and future plans. A monotonous chore that I just really dislike.

So now, there's a scribe for that :

How to setup a practically free CDN

I've been using [Backblaze][bbz] for a while now as my online backup service. I have used a few others in the past. None were particularly satisfactory until Backblaze came along.

It was - still is - keenly priced at a flat $5 (£4) per month for unlimited backup (I've currently got just under half a terabyte backed-up). It has a fast, reliable client. The company itself is [transparent about their operations][trans] and [generous with their knowledge sharing][blog]. To me, this says they understand their customers well. I've never had reliability problems and everything about the outfit exudes a sense of simple, quick, solid quality. The service has even saved the day on a couple of occasions where I've lost files.

Safe to say, I'm a happy customer. If you're not already using Backblaze, [I highly recommend you do][recommend].

This is a simple sass (rather scss) recreation of a bootstrap like spacing utility which allows you to quickly and easily set margin and padding sizes through classes like `mx-3`, `p-2`, and `pt-5`. You can define spacing values in $spacing and add or remove shorthand properties with the $prefixes variable. This uses `!important` to override any…
@mixin simpleSpace {
// margin and padding values
$spacings: (

Configure XDebug, Visual Studio Code for a Vagrant VM

  • Project (Drupal) is served on /var/www/html in the Vagrant box
  • Local project files location: c:\Users\username\Work\projects\my-project\repo\html
  • Guest machine IP is 10.0.2.2 (if this doesn't work, run route -nee in the VM and look for the gateway address)

A prospective employer invited me to do a HackerRank test. Here's my proposed alternative.

Well, that was unexpected. In the following, I’m trying to follow Jon Evans’ advice from “The Terrible Technical Interview”.
