It is an inalienable fact of software engineering that Strings are immutable. Every time you “mutate” a string, a new one is created. If for example, you want to concatenate two strings, the result will be that within memory, the first string, second string, and resulting string will all exist

Even if you don’t […]

Fiddler is an immensely powerful, and easy to use web debugger. It can do just about anything I’ve thought of, and tons of things that I still don’t know what are. Its my go to when doing any kind of web development. A lot of people don’t know just how powerful it is, or how

Creating a Bitbucket Server plugin is great, but if you’re like me, you probably immediately find yourself wanting to know not how to get into a code file, but rather how to get something to show up in the server. If you have to write the entire plugin without ever once testing it, that would

Now that the Atlassian SDK is installed, we’ll familiarize ourselves with some of the things it can do. There is a full command reference available, so i will not by any means cover them all. What I mean to accomplish is to provide an overview of some important ones, and provide some use cases. Note

The very first step to accomplishing anything for an Atlassian plugin is to just get your machine set up. It took me a long time before I actually did this because I just kept having the though – I’m a developer I already have a development environment set up, what more would I need to

I when making small changes to files, I tend to favor using MacVim instead of firing up my IDE. While I do a lot of git commands with the terminal, I still use SourceTree a fair bit. It’s terribly slow at times with large repos, and uses up a ton of memory. But when it

I like to have a right click menu option for editing files in MacVim. Fortunately, this is easily done with Automator. Unfortunately its not easy to copy from computer to computer when I’m setting up a new computer open Automator and create a new Document with the Quick Action template Workflow receives current -> Files

I recently found myself setting up a new machine at work. This has resulted in me discovering that a lot of things I had done over the years has been lost to time. Hence the need to document things! Vim is the best editor ever, and that makes MacVim the best editor in Mac. There

Many people where I work have a tendency to have multiple copies of our git repositories. They do this because when using a gitflow structure, and a slow moving team workflow, you tend to have a task that you send off to testing, and then you wait on that branch for far longer than should

Occasionally, I have found the need to store large files in the cloud (dropbox, one drive, google drive, etc). However, many of those cloud storage services have limits on the maximum size of file. File size limits make sense because companies don’t want to store your movies. It costs them money for the storage, and
