Emmet Awesomeness

Lets face it, writing HTML is really not a fun thing to do. With so many < and so many > and all the horrific closing tags. There has to be a better way.

Enter Emmet. Emmet is a plugin for many text editors that makes the job of writing HTML super easy. It provides a bunch of abbreviations whose syntax is inspired by CSS.

Bulk Inserts via SQLAlchemy and Flask-SQLAlchemy

Problem

I ran into an issue today where I had to perform a bulk insert into a postgres DB. I was already using SQLAlchemy and Flask-SQLAlchemy to manage the connections to the db and I didn't want to have to use things like psycopg2 directly.

Solution

Note: SQLAlchemy provides an ORM. It isn't just an ORM. That is an important thing to be kept in mind. This means that you can bypass choose to not use the ORM layer when you don't want it. The idea with an ORM is to track changes to objects and when you have a case like that is when you'd use the ORM. In a bulk upload scenario, you don't need to track changes to objects. All you care is that everything be pushed into the DB.

Even though somebody else wrote this bit of CSS, I know exactly how it works and how to extend it. Fixes are easy! I have a hard time breaking our CSS. I know exactly where to put new CSS. We use all of our CSS and it’s pretty small overall. When I delete a template, I know the exact corresponding CSS file and I can delete it all at once. Nothing gets left behind.”

You often hear updog saying stuff like this. Who’s updog? Not much, who is up with you?

This is where any fun you might have been having ends. Now it’s time to get serious and talk about rules.

Writing CSS is hard. Even if you know all the intricacies of position and float and overflow and z-index, it’s easy to end up with spaghetti code where you need inline styles, !important rules, unused cruft, and general confusion. This guide provides some architecture for writing CSS so it stays clean and ma
