Simply delete all the conflicting configuration files. In my case I wanted to keep cypress.config.ts, and so remove … Read more
Every so often I have to start up a new project. Whether that’s a brand new / greenfield starting from scratch project, or joining an existing team and cloning an existing repo, one of the very first things I want to get working is Prettier. And more times than I can count, I have been … Read more
Yes. You absolutely can use a PC keyboard and a PC mouse on a Mac. With some caveats. I’m writing this post as I have work client right now that enforces use of their corporate Macbook Pro laptop. They provide the laptop, but won’t give me a Mac keyboard or mouse. Fortunately I have some … Read more
Yesterday I got hit with the double whammy. I tried to upgrade GitLab to v16.3.4 as part of their recent critical security release when I realised that the GitLab server was running version 15.x (I don’t remember which minor release), so first I would need to install 16.0.0, then get up to 16.3.4.

I cloned the GitHub repo, and opened in IntelliJ. When the dependencies were downloaded via Gradle, I got the … Read more
In this post I will cover a way to convert only JSON keys from snake_case format to camelCase format, without impacting the values. I hit on this problem today, and found multiple solutions that rely on code to solve this problem. I didn’t need a code solution, as my use case was something of a … Read more
A very specific issue today, but one that I found quite a nice solution for – albeit with the need to install some extra things.
