I was trying to prepare a lightning talk at work and thought about a small experiment I did with Textual. I played around with writing a client that interacts with Outlook through the win32 API. Trying to open the Python file in Vim, I noticed I didn...
Most of you have probably written a workaround for some bug in a web API or a third-party package. If you haven't, trust me, it's just a matter of time. The question then becomes, how can I make sure the fix isn't pre-maturely removed or overstays it...

During two weeks I developed a game for the Game Jam, Kodsnacks Tvåveckorssylt - Fjärde Omgången. This was the fourth run of quite a small Swedish Game Jam from the community around the podcast Kodsnack. One of the core ideas with these jams is: a ...
