I've started streaming software development at https://www.twitch.tv/LukeTurnerSWE (past streams are available on youtube). In this post, I give a brief explanation of why I've started doing this.

A quick, semi-scientific comparison of using Github Copilot, Cline, and Cody VSCode extensions to do Chat-Oriented Programming (CHOP). Their performance is compared for writing tests, refactoring, and adding features.

This post is about an important step in designing software systems: writing design documents.

This post is a high-level explanation of abstraction and why it's so important for software engineering.

Introducing a simple, open-source Webhook Testing Tool that you can easily host on Fly.

A quick tutorial for enabling the pgvector extension on your Fly Postgres instance.

A quick tutorial for deploying a private "LLM model as a service" to Fly using a single-file executable Llamafile.

Explaining a pattern I'm using for client/server state management in dust.

I recently deployed another one of my little apps, written with Next.js. In this post, I discuss why my app is deployed on Fly instead of Vercel, even though Vercel is "the native Next.js platform".
