Hope you had a splendid Turkey month. My wife, two kids, and I spent Thanksgiving in southern Utah. The fresh air was nice, AQI here in Northern Utah is 100+ right now… wouldn’t recommend. Anyway, back to coding.

Honeycomb has a reputation for being a very engineering-driven company. No surprise there, since it was founded by two engineers and our mission involves building an engineering product for other engineers. We are never going to stop being engineering-driven in the sense that we...

When calculating dates in PHP, it is easy to add millisecond values such as 60 * 60 * 24 to increment the time by one day. This can become problematic for two main reasons. Issues with leap years # A year has approximately 365.25 days, hence a leap year occurs once every four...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
