          It’s not quite ready for public beta and doesn’t have a proper website yet, but you can get notified when a release is ready, if you want. :) https://taut.netlify.com

          What kind of compiler you going to be working on if it’s not NDA’d or anything?

            I did sign an NDA, unfortunately. It’s a very domain-specific thing.

              All good. Least you might get to do some interesting work.

          • Finished ivy-window-configuration last night which I’m very happy with.
          • I’d like to finish a github status package I’m putting together for emacs, but we’ll see how that goes.
          • That work has also lead to the beginnings of a Github app ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

            Web scraping is gross but incredibly useful. I’ve put together a cookbook of sorts for scraping with node. Maybe it’ll be helpful to folks just starting out.

              For medium sized to large projects the “happy path” to me is to write specs as early as possible and to document as you go. The trick is to keep writing specs and updating docs as the software evolves.
