Walden applica il principio dell’ azione deliberata : richiede intenzione prima del codice, e prova prima del completamento.

I abandoned it a month or so later out of frustration with a surprising lack of configurability and general exhaustion of addressing the myriad papercuts that come with trying to change computing platforms. In the last few weeks, I’ve revisited it and had a lot more success. The Core Problems The main problems that kept me… ## [pwa.support and the Mediocre State of PWAs](https://naildrivin5.com/blog/2026/03/09/pwa-support-and-the-mediocre-state-of-pwas.html) _2026-03-09 · naildrivin5.com - David Bryant Copeland's Website_ I created pwa.support as a way to both examine any website to see if it can be installed as a progressive web app, but also to capture in some detail the depressing state of support for this concept across major browsers and operating systems. I’ve been revisiting desktop Linux since my last attempt , and it involved setting up a lot of websites as Progressive Web Apps. The state of platform and… ## [The Death of the Software Craftsman](https://naildrivin5.com/blog/2026/02/23/the-death-of-the-software-craftsman.html) _2026-02-23 · naildrivin5.com - David Bryant Copeland's Website_ The death of a software craftsman Well, it happens a lot ‘round here You think quality is a common goal That goes to show how little you know Developers work hard over the years to cultivate tools and techniques to improve the quality of the construction of their software. These tools and techniques are slowly becoming even more useless than they may already be.

I’ve used Rake, Thor, my own gem GLI and many others. After all that, the venerable OptionParser —part of Ruby’s standard library—is the best choice for scripting and sub-command (git-like) CLIs. I want to show you how. What is a Sub-Command CLI? At first glance, OptionParser doesn’t seem to support a sub-command CLI,… ## [Go by Example — IT](https://andrearaponi.it/it/tools/gobyexample-it/) _2025-09-01 · Andrea Raponi - Software Craftsman on Andrea Raponi_ Go by Example — Traduzione italiana Traduzione italiana ufficiale di Go by Example — l’introduzione hands-on a Go di Mark McGranaghan attraverso programmi di esempio annotati.

Silent failures are sadly the norm, because they are just easier to implement. Systems based on conventions or automatic configuration exacerbate this problem, as they tend to just do nothing and produce no error message. Let’s see how to fix this. Rails… ## [Build a blog in 15ish Minutes with BrutRB](https://naildrivin5.com/blog/2025/07/23/build-a-blog-in-15ish-minutes-with-brutrb.html) _2025-07-23 · naildrivin5.com - David Bryant Copeland's Website_ This is a whirlwind tour of the basics of Brut , where I build a blog from scratch in a bit over 15 minutes.

It's different than other Ruby web frameworks. Brut has no controllers, verbs, or resources. You build pages, forms, and single-action handlers. You write HTML, which is generated on the server.
