This is my blog, mostly about programming. https://mitchum.blog/

I started it with three goals in mind: 1. Remember more of the things I learn about complex topics. 2. Improve my writing skills. 3. Learn about driving traffic to a website.

The most noteworthy and popular section are the game tutorials: https://github.com/mmaynar1/games

I've been working on a little website to pull out links from the comments on the "Ask HN" page. Often there is some great advice in there, and it seemed in the spirit of Hacker News to automate that.

I definitely agree about VR. The first time I played "Robo Recall" on the Oculus Rift I couldn't believe how responsive and immersive it was.

For sure. In the case of IntelliJ resource usage, you get what you pay for.

I use IntelliJ for work every day and I agree, so many of its features make work so much better.

I do the same thing. I also keep auto commit off and make sure the rows updated looks correct before committing the change.

One definition I've heard before (and like) is "code without tests". I don't think that's the only factor, but it's a pretty common indicator.
