| moritz | oh hai | 10:46 | |
| today I published my second book blog post: perlgeek.de/blog-en/perl-6/2016-bo...perl6.html | |||
| and I just pushed a draft for another blog post, reviews / corrections very welcome | 10:47 | ||

| moritz pushez again | 15:41 | ||
| [ptc]: reping :-) | |||
| turns out I had configured a git remote with two push URLs, but had the same URL twice :/ | 15:42 | ||
| [ptc] | moritz: no worries :-) | 19:04 | |
| it pulled ok, and am editing now | |||
| btw: it's called "multiple dispatch", not "multi dispatch", right? | |||
| also, I'm not a fan of single-letter variable names; they are hard to search for and tend to make the code a bit harder to read | 19:05 | ||
| how does changing $o to $opt sound? Or perhaps something like $date, since that's what's being represented | |||
| [ptc] would so like to integrate tests and git into the workflow being introduced | 19:10 | ||
| it would get the reader to think that writing tests and using version control is a natural part of writing code and not separate topics | 19:11 | ||
| hrm, I tried changing $o to $datetime and now it looks waaaay to verbose. Not sure what a good solution is here | 19:21 | ||
| Beyond that, awesome post! I learned stuff this evening, which was awesome. Specifically the where/try, when/default and that sigil-less vars are read-only. Handy to know! | 19:23 | ||
| moritz | [ptc]: thanks for the review | 19:34 | |
| [ptc]: I didn't care too much about the $o since I knew I'd replace it anyway | 19:35 | ||
| [ptc]: and I do plan to introduce testing as the next chapter :-) | 19:36 | ||
| [ptc] | moritz: re: $o: that's what I was thinking, but then you made the point about being clear later on. However, I think noone will mind, other than the picky people like myself :-) | 19:37 | |
| moritz: testing++ \\o/ | |||
| moritz | ... and I would have started already if I weren't stuck debugging RSS feed issues :( | 19:38 | |
| [ptc] | moritz: part of the time it felt like one knew what one was expecting and hence an automated test would be sort of a natural thing to use to check that the code was working | 19:39 | |
| moritz: especially when the code gets refactored at the end | |||
| do many people use the RSS feed? | 19:40 | ||
| moritz | [ptc]: people use pl6anet.org, which uses the RSS feed, and which is unhappy about it :( | 19:41 | |
| [ptc] | oh, bummer | 19:43 | |
| moritz | and my attempts to create a dev enivornment for a my homepage on localhost have failed so far :( | 19:50 | |
| which doesn't make debugging easier | |||
| modern Apaches are scary beasts to configure | 20:35 | ||
