Software development is an ever-evolving space where languages, tools, and best practices can rapidly change based on the market. Yet there is always a race to do things faster and better than before.

Today, I will be introducing you to Turborepo, a tool that helps manage JavaScript and TypeScript monorepos by leveraging build techniques to avoid duplicate work and maximize multitasking at scale. But first, there may be a couple of questions you’re asking yourself. What is a monorepo, and why use Turborepo?

User Experience, What is it?

With a well-thought-out UX design, the product will be fully flushed out before development begins. For the developers, it leads to a more streamlined development plan. For the user, it means a product that is easy to use. For stakeholders, it results in a more successful final product, which means more money saved and more money made.

OpenSCAD: A Solution for Board Game Organization

Dagin Fullmer Design 1 Comment

One of the biggest problems with any board game is the organization of its components. As a board game enthusiast, I often see a myriad of plastic ziplock bags or tackle boxes used to achieve order in an otherwise chaotic box. As a software engineer/tinkerer/maker, I see these issues as opportunities to build and create custom solutions through the use of 3D printing.

My software of choice for this project is openSCAD. OpenSCAD uses modules and functions to build and render 3D models. While not particularly good from an artistic perspective, it does a great job when dealing with fairly simple models – perfect for game inserts.
