As I’ve shared in the last few articles for this category, I started sharing stuff on Twitter pretty regularly. But I don’t that much more either. So, given that I’ve started keeping a list of things in Apple Notes that I find useful, I thought I might as well return to form and share them here.

Don’t Over-Architect Your Blog Posts

At some point, I lost the motivation to write about anything that would include too much code because of the amount of time it would take to:
