It's been long since I did this run and I originally wrote the bulk of this post in the week after, but recovery was tough and I lost the drive to continue writing after a couple of weeks. Having looked at this draft every time I log in,
I've previously written my year-in-review for my twenty-third [https://daniellockyer.com/twenty-three] and twenty-fourth [https://daniellockyer.com/twenty-four/] birthdays. And now for another! As well all know, this year has been a weird one. Things didn't go as expected for many but I've tried
I was recently adding a bunch of files to a new Git repo, but I couldn't be sure if I was about to commit a 100MB file. The following bash command should print out a sorted list of unstaged files and their size, so you can check if

If you read my blog or follow me on Twitter you may have noticed I'm a huge fan of flamegraphs. I've previously written about how I use them to profile PHP and Node.js applications, and I help maintain rbspy, a Rust profiler for Ruby, which
Last October I made Upgrade your PHP [https://upgradeyourphp.com/], a site to let people know that PHP 5.6 and PHP 7.0 were about to reach their End of Life, and would no longer be officially supported. In the time since, I've been helping people upgrade
This post is a case study of how I profiled a Node.js application, and how using flamegraphs allowed me to make the boot time of Ghost 20% faster. I remember trying to profile Node.js many years ago and it was much harder than it is now. When researching
Earlier today I was looking at a couple of sites to see why they were much slower than I expected. I ran them through GTmetrix and saw the following in the waterfall tab. Straightaway I could see that this is the classic pattern produced by trying to load a bunch
