Tech — Work — Ramblings

by Mike Kalvas

I see you're not using JavaScript (which is awesome!) on one of my pages that uses it to provide a better experience. If you see something not working right, please let me know. My site should work exactly the same without it apart from any exceptions noted here.

I use prism.min.js to do syntax highlighting. It clocks in at 23kb total in size. Since the majority of the writing I do involves coding, I personally find this to be a worthwhile trade off. If you choose to keep this disabled, rest assured, the code examples are still there, they just may have some extra whitespace and obviously no syntax highlighting.

I do no tracking at all and am a zealot about keeping my pages as small as possible. If you're reading a page of mine that transfers more than about 250kb over the wire (including my most gratuitous indulgence — fonts) I've messed up.

So, if you'd like to have a slightly richer experience, consider enabling javascript for my site and I promise your trust won't be misplaced.

202204272308 Modules should be highly cohesive

The code in a module should all serve some purpose for the module. All the code should also be required to work together properly to achieve that purpose. This is another way to say that we shouldn't have extraneous code nor differing objectives in the same place. This relates to the 202204291512 Single responsibility principle of the 202204272244 SOLID design principles. It also serves a similar purpose as the 202204291514 Interface segregation principle. All of this also helps to 202312091440 Eliminate effects between unrelated things.
