The true measure of a new best practice is how painful it is to return to projects that don’t use it.

My day always brightens a bit when the API I’m talking to will send back JSON data.

What is a simple screen recording app for the Mac that works with retina? Screeny (my previous go-to) fails, as does Voila. #lazytweet

Your first step when you think “I want to do a project that involves dates, times and events.” should be to slap yourself in the face.

That feeling when you know you’ve written this piece of code before but can’t remember what project it was for or where to look for it.

@cfree I’m only one data point, but Time Machine has failed for me 100% of the time and SuperDuper! has succeeded for me 100% of the time.

GitHub’s online editor (Ace, the same one we use for Capsule) is super handy for quickly tweaking things after accepting a pull request.
