Description:

GitHub Actions1 are programs designed to run inside of workflows2, triggered by specific events inside a GitHub repository. To date, people use GitHub Actions to do things like run continuous integration (CI) tests, publish releases, respond to issues, and more. Because the workflows are executed inside a fresh virtual machine that is deleted after the... […] Early on in my career as a software developer I thought my primary contribution was writing code. After all, software engineers are paid to ship software and writing code is a key component of that. It took several years for me to realize that there are numerous other contributions that go into shipping software (if... […] Last year, I wrote about how to schedule Jekyll posts using Netlify and AWS Lambda[^1]. I used that approach from the moment I wrote that blog post up until today. What changed? In the past year, GitHub has introduced GitHub Actions[^2], a way to run container jobs triggered by different GitHub events. One of those... […] I’m a big fan of Vercel1 as an application hosting provider. The way the service abstracts all of the cloud computing details and allows teams to focus on building and deploying web applications is fantastic. That said, I had a lot of trouble setting up secure environment variables for my first application to use. I... […] One of the things I most enjoy about Jekyll1 is writing my blog posts in Markdown. I love not worrying about HTML and just letting Jekyll generate it for me when a post is published. Using Liquid tags directly in Markdown is also helpful, as I can define sitewide or page-specific variables and then replace... […] In my previous post, I discussed what changes are necessary to turn a singly linked list into a doubly linked list. I recommend reading that post before this one (if you haven’t already). This post is about modifying a doubly linked list (also called a linear doubly linked list) in such a way that the... […] In my previous post, I discussed creating a singly linked list in JavaScript (if you haven’t yet read that post, I suggest doing so now). A single linked list consists of nodes that each have a single pointer to the next node in the list. Singly linked lists often require traversal of the entire list... […] Last week, I tweeted something that got quite a few surprising responses: In 2019, one of the things I’m going to do is stop exporting things as default from my CommonJS/ES6 modules. Importing a default export has grown to feel like a guessing game where I have a 50/50 chance of being wrong each time.... […] Back in 2009, I challenged myself to write one blog post per week for the entire year. I had read that the best way to gain more traffic to a blog was to post consistently. One post per week seemed like a realistic goal due to all the article ideas I had but it turned... […] It’s 2018 and somehow women are still getting paid less than men, even in supposedly progressive industries like software.[1] Whether that be from companies offering women less than men for the same position, women being less likely to negotiate or less successful in negotiations, or any of the other myriad reasons, the results are still... […] About the Human Hi, I'm Nicholas C. Zakas, an independent software developer living in Mountain View, California. I've been a software architect at companies like Yahoo and Box, as well as an author and speaker. I created the ESLint open source project and wrote several books. At the moment, I'm recovering from Lyme disease and haven't been able to leave my home much in the past five years. (Health update, More about me)
