I am new at Symfony. I still have a lot to learn. However, one of the things that bugged me for ages was that the docs didn’t describe any means for populating forms when editing an existing record. Yes, it presented a function for editing, and making changes to the database through doctrine, but no way for me to dynamically alter the data in the first place. Well , thanks […]
So, I did a thing. Actually, I did many things. Some of them were even new. But the main new thing I did was I refreshed the look (and feel) of my blog. It needed it.

It can be incredibly frustrating. Often I will spend my time between writing projects coding up tools I need for my writing (or my website – the Mastodon feed in the left sidebar is something I created). […]
So, recently I coded up my first WordPress plugin. Nothing majorly impressive, but it did suddenly place me in some very rarified company, and that was a little intimidating.

AI chatbots, in particular, are becoming an increasingly important part of these stories. In the past, AI chatbots were often depicted as simple, robotic characters that were limited in their abilities. They were often used as background characters or as a means […]
A few weeks ago I made this as part of my #CS50 computer science course. It’s a game made with Scratch. The aim of the game is to avoid being killed by all the Aussie Terrors.
