Hi everyone, time for another blog post. This one’s about an idea I had while taking part in “mob-programming” with a friend. I did not know what mob-programming was, but it was the first time I got to use the Live Share feature in Visual Studio Code. It was a pretty smooth experience!

I needed gcc and make, but those weren’t easy to come by on Windows if you were just starting out and nobody taught you about the toolchain.

Hey everyone, Fedora 32 was released earlier this week on the 28th. I like to have the latest software running on my computer so I upgraded as soon as I could, but I noticed something when I ran my next dnf check-update. The Docker repositories were disabled, so I wouldn’t get any updates! The Docker devs didn’t have a repo ready for Fedora 32. Normally waiting for an update isn’t a big deal but Fedora made a few changes recently and I wanted to write down how I came over them.
