List of all #WeekendDevPuzzles

Weekend Dev Puzzle

Some time between 2021-22, I ran a list of puzzles designed to push developers into developing a better understanding of the technologies they use on a day to day basis. Each puzzle is designed to be fun, provocative, and short.

This is a complete list of those puzzles. Each link takes you to the tweet where I first posed the problem. If you like any of them, please feel free to share with others.

Edit (2024-01-27): Adding other puzzles to this 2024 onwards. Criteria:

  1. Problem statement should be understandable by most in s/w tech, even if the ability to figure it out may not be.
  2. Thinking about the problem should lead to clearer understanding of some foundational concept.
  3. Should be short.
  4. Should be fun to ponder over.

Read SHAPE UP by basecamp on a Kindle / reMarkable / eReader

Read Shape Up by basecamp on a kindle / reMarkable / eReader

Basecamp's new book Shape Up is now available online (https://basecamp.com/shapeup) to read page-by-page.

There is a .pdf version, but that's not the best format for Kindle / other eReaders. Instead, we can convert the page-by-page into an eReader friendly format.

Part 1: Convert to a single page

NOTE: This has only been tested on Chrome

Stuff I wish I'd known sooner about service workers

Stuff I wish I'd known sooner about service workers

I recently had several days of extremely frustrating experiences with service workers. Here are a few things I've since learned which would have made my life much easier but which isn't particularly obvious from most of the blog posts and videos I've seen.

I'll add to this list over time – suggested additions welcome in the comments or via twitter.com/rich_harris.

Use Canary for development instead of Chrome stable

Chrome 51 has some pretty wild behaviour related to console.log in service workers. Canary doesn't, and it has a load of really good service worker related stuff in devtools.

The Perfect Developer Qualities

For me the perfect developer (if there is such a person) has these qualities:

  • Friendly: is respected and liked by all they work with and are always approachable (even in times of stress)
  • Humble: has great humilty and is not driven by ego
  • Calm: doesn't get emotive within discussions (including discussions that are both in their favour and those that aren't)
  • Understanding: appreciates that business requirements do change regularly and that there are no perfect scenarios; so is able to adapt to problematic situations in the appropriate manner
  • Agile: recognises when they are potentially moving down a rabbit hole/time sink/yak shave and will successfully re-evaluate the situation and refocus their attention
  • Patient: appreciates that no dev is born equal and so varying soft/practical skills will be encountered
  • Experienced: has a wide ranging skill set with relevant practical experience and most importantly realises the fundamentals of simple code design and recognised patt

Elm Destructuring (or Pattern Matching) cheatsheet

Should be work with 0.18

Destructuring(or pattern matching) is a way used to extract data from a data structure(tuple, list, record) that mirros the construction. Compare to other languages, Elm support much less destructuring but let's see what it got !

Tuple

myTuple = ("A", "B", "C")
myNestedTuple = ("A", "B", "C", ("X", "Y", "Z"))
