Detecting new posts with Jekyll and Netlify
This blog has long featured the ability to subscribe by email, so you could get an email notification when a new post was published. I’ve used various services over the years to achieve this, first with FeedBurner and later with Zapier. As I’m a do-it-yourself ... moreTuesday, 27 March, 2018 UTC
Scheduling Jekyll posts with Netlify and AWS
Not too long ago I moved this site from a custom setup on Amazon Web Services (AWS) to Netlify[1]. My AWS setup was a bit cumbersome, consisting of a Jenkins machine that pulled from a private GitHub repository, built the site using Jekyll[2], and published ... moreTuesday, 27 March, 2018 UTC

The inception of ESLint
If you're like me, you probably use a lot of open source tools every day without thinking about how they got started. Few projects share the "why" of their creation: the actual problem they were trying to solve and when they first came across ... moreTuesday, 27 February, 2018 UTC

The ECMAScript 2016 change you probably don't know
Compared to ECMAScript 6 (also known as ECMAScript 2015), ECMAScript 2016 was a minor update to the language specification for JavaScript. This was due to the decision that ECMAScript editions would now move to a yearly release cycle, effectively just ... moreTuesday, 18 October, 2016 UTC

Es6 Module Loading More Complicated Than You Think
One of the most long-awaited features of ECMAScript 6 is the formal definition of modules as part of the language. For years, JavaScript developers have struggled with organizing their code and needing to decide between alternate ad-hoc module formats ... moreTuesday, 5 April, 2016 UTC

Mimicking npm script in Node.js
I'm a big fan of npm scripts[1] and have been using them in all of my projects instead of a standalone build system. The feature I like the most from npm scripts is the ability to run command line executables that are installed in your project's node_modules/.bin ... moreTuesday, 8 March, 2016 UTC

Reflections on ESLint's success
It's hard for me to believe, but I first conceived and created ESLint[1] in June 2013 and first announced it's availability in July 2013[2]. As frequent readers might recall, the primary goal of ESLint was to create a linter with rules that could be ... moreTuesday, 9 February, 2016 UTC

React and the economics of dynamic web interfaces
I've been doing web development since 2000, and in that time I've seen eras marked by libraries and frameworks come and go. The Ajax era began around the same time as the jQuery era began, the Backbone era began several years later, and the React era ... moreTuesday, 26 January, 2016 UTC

Why I'm not using your open source project
When you think of open source software, you might think of a few specific projects depending on your area of interest. If you work on web applications, the term "open source" might conjure up visions of Apache or Node.js; if you're into big ... moreTuesday, 15 December, 2015 UTC

Hidden performance implications of Object.defineProperty()
I've recently been working on a project to port Espree[1], the parser that powers ESLint[2], to use Acorn[3]. In so doing, I ran into an interesting performance problem related Object.defineProperty() . It seems that any call to Object.defineProperty() ... moreTuesday, 17 November, 2015 UTC

ECMAScript 6 destructuring gotcha
With all of the new syntax in ECMAScript 6, you're bound to periodically find something that is confusing (likely as you're hunting down an error). Recently, I've seen an uptick in the reporting of a specific type of error as it relates to destructuring ... moreTuesday, 20 October, 2015 UTC

My favorite interview question
Interviewing and hiring are more difficult tasks than they may seem. The cost of hiring the wrong person is quite high, yet companies that are hiring often want help sooner rather than later and so sometimes don't want to wait for a good candidate to ... moreTuesday, 8 September, 2015 UTC
Is the web platform getting too big?
Peter-Paul Koch recently wrote a blog post entitled, "Stop pushing the web forward" [1], in which he argued for a one-year moratorium on adding new features to the web platform. By new features, he means new APIs and capabilities in HTML, CSS, ... moreWednesday, 26 August, 2015 UTC
From Wordpress to Jekyll: My new blog setup
I had been thinking about moving my blog from Wordpress to Jekyll for a while. I was hesitant because I didn't know a lot about how Jekyll worked and wasn't sure if I'd ultimately want to have my site hosted on GitHub or not. I also was concern about ... moreThursday, 16 July, 2015 UTC
Announcing the NCZOnline Newsletter
For a while, I’ve been toying with the idea of writing more short form content. While I love the long form of writing, it does take a lot of energy and as such I’ve been unable to do the regular amount of writing that I normally do. I thought about doing ... moreThursday, 14 May, 2015 UTC
