My Take on Logging in Golang
The subject of logging comes up every now and then, in every group of developers. Apparently it is something to be opinionated about, like code formatting. Or to something complain about, like leaving off the cap of the toothpaste. If only there was a go fmt for logging. Or toothpaste....

Depend Less on Dependencies with the Adapter Pattern in Golang
The package management in Go is pretty convenient. Just run go get and you have another nice library installed on your computer. Just for you to use, saving you hours of developing end debugging the functionality yourself. But there is a downside to it, apart from the fact that downloading and...

JSON Structured Logging with Nginx
After writing my tutorial on analysis of JSON structured logs on the command line I realized I could apply the same solution for website statistics. If only I could make Nginx to log in the same format....

Shitty SSG: Code Walkthrough
One would expect a walk through the code of a self proclaimed “shitty” software project not to be a pleasant read. I promise that it is not that bad. Earlier I described why I built this static site generator and the Asciidoc subset that it uses as a markup language. Here I will describe the...

This could be useful for pulling in...

A Tiny Subset of Asciidoc for Blogging
