Compiling a Mac OS 8 Application on MacOS Sierra
A light hearted look back at my time programming in the 1990s as I try to get an old Minesweeper implementation of mine from 1999, written in C++ using PowerPlant for Mac OS 8, compiling in Xcode 8 and running on macOS Sierra.

Is Semantic Versioning an Anti-Pattern?
The classic X.Y.Z style of software numbering, sometimes known as Semantic Versioning, may be hurting more than it helps. Semver.org has codified how these numbers should be used for some cases, describing what is meant by the major and minor version numbers, when to change them, what

Building a CQRS/ES web application in Elixir using Phoenix
I’ve been interested in Command Query Responsibility Segregation and event sourcing since hearing Greg Young talk on the subject in early 2010. During the past seven years I’ve built an open-source Ruby CQRS library ( rcqrs ); worked professionally on .NET applications following the pattern; and more recently built an…

Research papers in the .NET source
This post is completely inspired by (or ‘copied from’ depending on your point of view) a recent post titled JAVA PAPERS (also see the HackerNews discussion). However, instead of looking at Java and the JVM, I’ll be looking at references to research papers in the .NET language, runtime and compiler source code.

However, while working on a highly concurrent network proxy I came across an interesting realization about how the Go concurrency model…
