For a long time, I’ve been annoyed that cabal tells you to add modules to your cabal file. It can detect missing modules, but won’t automatically add them. This is not a big deal for a single module, but if you like splitting code into many small modules, for example

I’ve updated the esqueleto bindings for esqueleto-textsearch to include a tutorial and documentation so it no longer requires guesswork. Furthermore I’ve also created new esqueleto bindings for PostGIS.

Esqueleto is a more advanced query library that builds on top of the persistent ORM¹. Postgres text search

You can book this wonderful rental now! This is the rebranded summerhouse Paradis. It’s a villa that can host up to 8 guests, located in Aruba. I think this rental project is slowly turning out to be successful,

This is a follow-up on the follow up of release rodeo. Okay, I should stop doing these, however, I thought the situation was a bit too ironic not to record. On my final week working for that company ¹, the product manager involved

Good news! I’ve come to an agreement with the maintainer of mysql-haskell, winterland. I’ll become a co-maintainer.

I’ve forked mysql-haskell and persistent-mysql-haskell into mysql-pure and persistent-mysql-pure. The original packages were no longer maintained and frequently caused me issues during GHC upgrades, so I decided to take over maintainership. For example, bounds were outdated, or I needed minor patches found on obscure branches in unrelated repositories.

This is a follow-up on the release rodeo.

After I wrote that blog post, the CTO found it quickly by coincidence. He was quite okay with everything I had written. However, he took issue with that I called his critique “scolding”. I suppose he didn’t exactly scold me. I

Using Haskell on Windows can be very useful in a WAMP like situation, where the main legacy codebase is stuck at PHP 5.6¹ . However, any new pages can be written with Haskell, which is much easier to upgrade since the compiler will inform you about most changes. New

In the beginning, there was nothing. We merged completed features after a month or so of development, leading to large PRs and often unexpected implementations. Then, feature flags were introduced. This allowed the merging of code in chunks, enabling QA to test thoroughly. The

As a founder of raster.click, I was passionate about providing rostering systems for restaurants that were easy to use and affordable. I worked hard to build a functional product that our users loved, and I was proud to have three paying
