BetterWays.dev | Digital Garden
BetterWays.dev is a custom blog/wiki on good and bad software development practices. There are no ads, no analytics/tracking scripts, and everything is designed from the ground up to be fast, clean, and privacy-friendly.
A quick TLDR: I started playing with programming languages when I was a kid in the early 90s, and I've been doing that ever since. BetterWays.dev is a custom combination of a software development blog and wiki with a strong focus on simplicity and clarity. Some of the things you'll find here:
- Thoughts and experiences on good and bad practices in software development
- Alternatives to the mainstream tech ethos of "bigger is better"
- General programming/sysadmin tips and hacks
- Long-form guides and "Learn by Example" series
- HN: The Good Parts
