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

Math and algorithms are just fun to work on, they let you explore branches of though in creative ways that UI design doesn’t. This is the seventh post in my Project Euler series.

So here’s one that shouldn’t be nearly as complicated as it is. Keeping any opinions to myself of whether it is good or bad, we use Xamarin for iOS/Android development. One of the problems that I recently ran into is that Xamarin’s iOS command line build is EXTREMELY SKETCHY. It will fail for reasons that

I couldn’t decide what to do, so I thought it was time to solve more random hard problems. This is the seventh post in my Project Euler series. The sixth problem is here. By listing the first six prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13, we can see that the 6th prime is 13.
