I refactored a TypeScript library at work recently and noticed a code smell. When another dev told me that he hadn't considered it, I thought might make for a good quick write up on my blog. #dev #typeScript

Starting on my next Japanese saw horse. I took some time to practice with a western style saw for breaking down stock and cutting joints with the ryoba. I’m getting faster with the western style saw but it’s still really hard to push start instead of using a pull start #woodworking #beginner
