Quality long term focus
I have to admit I've been playing hard and fast with the word quality for the last couple of months. It's stooped down to at least showing up, which is a mark I've also missed at times. When it sucks it just sucks. This…
My distracted mind lacks good ideas
It's not really a surprise, well it shouldn't be at least. Yet it's one thing to know and whole another thing to do something about it. I've spoken about how I've been quite distracted for the last month or two.…
Dynamically loading code to control it during runtime
If you'd like to see the code, you can find it here. Handmade Hero is such a treasure trove for programming. I'm only on day 20, but I've already learned and tried out so many new concepts, things I would never be aware of…

How I write my UI components when using Htmx with Golang and templ; year two
Last year I wrote a post about how I write my Templ UI components with HTMX. I came across that post as I was Googling something for Templ stuff. When I saw that it had been a year since I wrote it, I thought I should write a sequel. Especially…
