It's a résumé, as a readable and compilable C source file. Since Hacker News got here, this has been updated to be most of my actual résumé. This isn't a serious document, just a concept to annoy people who talk about recruiting and the formats they accept résumés in. It's also relatively representative of my coding style.

Since this is on Hacker News and reddit...

  • No, I don't distribute my résumé like this. A friend of mine made a joke about me being the kind of person who would do this, so I did (the link on that page was added later). My actual résumé is a good bit crazier.
  • I apologize for the use of _t in my types. I spend a lot of time at a level where I can do that; "reserved for system libraries? I am the system libraries".
  • Since people kept complaining, I've fixed the assignments of string literals to non-const char *s.
  • My use of type * name, however, is entirely intentional.
  • If you're using an older compiler, you might have trouble with the anonymous unions and the designated initializers - I think gcc 4.4 requires some extra braces to get them working together. Anything reasonably recent should work fine. Clang and gcc (newer than 4.4, at le

Facebook Perl source code from 2005. When browsing around thefacebook.com in 2005 the server spit out some server-side source code rather than running it. I believe this was for their old graph feature that let you visualize the graph between all your friends. The filename is `mygraph.svgz` and contains some gems such as a commented out "zuck" d…

Proposal: adding reverse-relationship population to Mongoose (as implemented in KeystoneJS)

I've developed a useful feature in KeystoneJS that lets you populate a relationship from either side, while only storing the data on one side, and am looking for feedback on whether it is something that could / should be brought back into mongoose itself. (It might be possible to add as a separate package but I suspect there'd be too much rewriting of mongoose internals for that to be a good idea).

I've added this as an issue in mongoose for consideration: #1888 but am leaving this gist in place because the examples are easier to read.

I've used Posts and Categories as a basic, contrived example to demonstrate what I'm talking about here; in reality you'd rarely load all the posts for a category but there are other real world cases where it's less unreasonable you'd want to do this, and Posts + Categories is an easy way to demo it.

The problem

The built-in population feature is really useful; not just for

Some thoughts on node-postgres in web applications

Some thoughts on using node-postgres in a web application

This is the approach I've been using for the past year or so. I'm sure I'll change and it will change as I grow & am exposed to more ideas, but it's worked alright for me so far.

Pooling:

I would definitely use a single pool of clients throughout the application. node-postgres ships with a pool implementation that has always met my needs, but it's also fine to just use the require('pg').Client prototype and implement your own pool if you know what you're doing & have some custom requirements on the pool.

Golang landmines

There are three easy to make mistakes in go. I present them here in the way they are often found in the wild, not in the way that is easiest to understand.

All three of these mistakes have been made in Kubernetes code, getting past code review at least once each that I know of.

  1. Loop variables are scoped outside the loop.

What do these lines do? Make predictions and then scroll down.

func print(pi *int) { fmt.Println(*pi) }

How to be a good open-source citizen

A short list of tips and recommendations, for those who use OSS and/or want to contribute to it.

  1. Give feedback

Before I get into the wrong ways to give feedback, let me be clear: the worst thing you can do is give no feedback at all.
