Another good one for the responsible coder. Code reviews are a tricky thing. They can improve software quality tremendously; two know more than one, obviously. However, it is all too easy to invoke bad feelings in the reviewee (if you think, "They should just grow thicker skin, it's not personal", this is especially for you).

Very thorough overview from Lullabot. Even though I think overall I am pretty good at this stuff, I picked up one or two tips, like writing ticket titles to complete the phrase “This ticket will….” (writing ticket titles and commit message starting with a verb is nothing new, but this is a helpful little mind trick).

Just now I was looking for how to type an emdash on the Mac (and also, whether my intended use was actually correct). I found this great little article.

It looks like the version of Safari that comes with macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 now has the .dev domain added to its HSTS preload list. What this means is that if you run your development sites on a .dev top-level domain, like me, Safari will force it to use https.

Yesterday, a dangerous - and quite embarrassing - bug was uncovered in macOS High Sierra. It is possible to authenticate with the user "root" and no password in situations where the OS asks for an administrative account. Apparently, there is also a way to do so when you have access to the system using a guest account, which adds insult to injury, because this is a default feature of the OS that many people will have enabled (I don't, but that's mostly because I don't like the extra login option on the login screen - but when you think about it, it makes sense from a security...

It's been in development for literally years, now, from well before Drupal 8.0.0 was released (having kids has this severe effect on the amount of spare time you have for this sort of thing).

Certainly nothing new (it's from 2014), but this is a very comprehensive article about writing great commit messages.

Yesterday, I tweeted:

Seems like Apple removed the keyboard shortcut for entering responsive design mode in the latest Safari update.

Today, I wipped out my favourite search engine (DuckDuckGo, obviously) and found out you can actually define your own keyboard shortcuts from the macOS Keyboard System Preferences.

Just now I had a bunch of URLs in a spreadsheet I wanted to quickly open. This time, it wasn't too quick, because I went down the rabbit hole of coming up with a solution (and making a blog post about it). Next time though....

Last week, on wednesday May 24th, the annual Dutch Drupal conference DrupalJam had its 2017 edition in "De Fabrique" in Maarssen. After having been an attendee for quite some years, this time I submitted a proposal for a talk, which was accepted. I'm now happy to report the slides are available online: Drupal 8 Configuration Management, Workflows for Site Development.
