Help me fight cancer with the PMC and Dana-Farber
Cancer sucks, right? No, I don't have it (thank God!) but there are too many people who do. I've had friends and family go through it and thankfully some recover and are in full remission! However, that's not always the story, some have that nasty thing come back. I'm blessed no one I know has... Continue Reading →

April Fools with these terrible NPM packages
NPM, hosted at npmjs.com, is a repository for storing open-source libraries, frameworks, and packages that anyone can publish to, and anyone can download from.

Challenge #4 – Taking what’s long and making it short

We went from making a search tool against Star Wars movie scripts to a URL shortener. Right? Not as much fun, but... Continue Reading →
Keeping React component’s state top of mind
I'm impatient I've done this too many times: // api call to get the contact Luke Skywalker // process a little data return ( <Card> <Card.Title>{person.name}</Card.Title> </Card> ) just to get a lovely Can't read property 'name' of undefined error.
