- Stripe's monorepo developer environment
I worked at Stripe for about seven years, from 2012 to 2019. Over that time, I used and contributed to many generations of Stripe’s developer environment – the tools that engineers used daily to write and test code. I think Stripe did a pretty good job designing and building that developer experience, and since leaving, I’ve found myself repeatedly describing features of that environment to friends and colleagues. This post is an attempt to record the salient features of that environment as I re...
- Apple announced RCS with a whimper when it should have been a bang
Apple will finally adopt RCS in iOS 18, effectively ending a yearslong fight for feature parity between iMessage and Android. But the announcement wasn’t a celebration — you could’ve blinked and missed it. Instead of showing how RCS will make things better, Apple softly announced support for the standard and focused on all the great features coming to iMessage users — not RCS ones. Apple didn’t go over how RCS adoption will finally let iPhone and Android users send each other high-resolution pic...

- Giant Batteries Are Transforming the Way the U.S. Uses Electricity
Source: California Independent System Operator via Please see the bottom of this page for notes. By The New York Times California draws more electricity from the sun than any other state. It also has a timing problem: Solar power is plentiful during the day but disappears by evening, just as people get home from work and electricity demand spikes. To fill the gap, power companies typically burn more fossil fuels like natural gas. That’s now changing. Since 2020, California has installed more gi...

- With Vids, Google thinks it has the next big productivity tool for work
For decades, work has revolved around documents, spreadsheets, and slide decks. Word, Excel, PowerPoint; Pages, Numbers, Keynote; Docs, Sheets, Slides. Now Google is proposing to add another to that triumvirate: an app called Vids that aims to help companies and consumers make collaborative, shareable video more easily than ever. Google Vids is very much not an app for making beautiful movies… or even not-that-beautiful movies. It’s meant more for the sorts of things people do at work: make a pi...
- How Stack Overflow replaced Experts Exchange
When I first learned how to code, Stack Overflow wasn’t of much use to me. Long-form tutorials like This isn’t some problem with Stack Overflow - it was by design. True to the quote, the more professionally I started coding, the more I leaned on Stack Overflow. It was the perfect resource for when I needed to perform niche date math in JavaScript or remember how to zip a file in memory. And who can forget the 2010 all-time best Stack Overflow answer: Q: But now, my use of Stack Overflow is fa...

- Console Virtual Terminal Sequences
Note Note Tip The enable sequences end in a lowercase H character ( Note SP Note For IL and DL, only the lines in the scrolling margins (see Scrolling Margins) are affected. If no margins are set, the default margin borders are the current viewport. If lines would be shifted below the margins, they are discarded.
