  • July 25, 2008
  • Mixins, meet Groovy. Groovy, say “Hello” to Mixins.

  • I kindly request that all job postings henceforth forgo the usual mumbo jumbo, replacing it instead with Paul Graham’s one metric to rule them all: the income-to-boringness ratio.

  • Snippets and scripts deserve first-class version control too.

  • Remember the good ol’ days of integrating Grails with a legacy database? You know, that long walk … uphill … in the snow … both ways. Times sure have changed.
