automate everything
Short and sweet today – I never knew (well, never knew to look up) how to print a webpage with Javascript. Since you can do just about everything else with the window it’s not surprising, just never a use case I needed. My “discovery” came while at work and trying to debug a component that…
On and off over the last couple months I’ve been putting together a collection of fun/goofy tools that my girlfriend has asked about. As a test of my new fondness of the FARM stack, I’ve rebuilt the project in React, using FastAPI and MongoDB for the backend. It’s located at rachelscoolshit.com because I miss the…

After the whole GameStop…
It’s December! Since we don’t seem to get snow in the DC area anymore the next best thing is daily coding puzzles and challenges. My two favorite are the Advent of Code and Advent of Cyber. Both contain some interesting challenges and are a fun way to try out new things ahead of starting the…
It’s been a while since I’ve written a post here! Ended up shifting jobs a couple months ago and have been pretty focused on a learning a new type of role. Part of the new gig is automating the collection and display of a variety of data and I’ve had the opportunity to start using…
