Welcome to the Sioux Falls Developer's Group!

I’ve been using Logseq for a few years now, and even blogged about it last year. I appreciate how it surfaces todo items on the upcoming day(s), as well as anything I’ve given a due date in the coming week. That said, one exercise I engage each week is a weekly prioritization for the upcoming week, where I note down the items most important for me to complete. While many of these might have due dates, some might be aspirational or more along the lines of things I can do when I have a few minutes of down time between meetings.

I’ve recently written several blog posts for Zend (one of the brands I help manage at Perforce) covering changes in the recently released PHP 8.4. If you’re curious what to look out for, and how to use some of the new major features, they’re worth a read:

My Journey towards Functional Programming and F# Thank you to Sergey Tihon for another year of F# Advent 2024 and for adding me to the calendar. Be sure to catch the other articles.

These have been experiences, struggles, successes, changes of approaches and technologies.

Run Cli Commands with F# I needed to migrate from having all my configuration and secrets (yeah, don’t put your secrets in source control, but it’s an older project that we are updating) in .Net appsettings.json files to using Azure App Config and Azure Key Vault. In the Azure Portal this is done by clicking add, filling in keys and values or by first adding the Azure Key Vault key and value, then adding a key reference in Azure App Config.
