SaturdayMP Show 36: picoCTF Gym

In this episode I do some picoCTF exercises inspired by the picoCTF 2024 competition starting. The last problem was a Unicode byte problem that I figured out with help from GitHub Copilot.

SaturdayMP Show #33: Upgrading Website from Rails 6.1 to 7.0 Part 5 (Removing Webpack CI Fixes)

In this episode I fix issues in continuous integration (CI) pipeline and other DevOps caused by removing Webpack. Longer episode as I encounter a issue with Dart Sass for Rails and I think the CI builds the Docker containers for production instead of development. Live coding at it’s best. What other developer actually shows them messing up in real time?

SaturdayMP Show #32: Upgrading Website from Rails 6.1 to 7.0 Part 4 (Removing Webpack)

Happy Valentines Day! In this episode I replace Webpack with Import Maps and it gees well, at least in the development environment. I’ll likely run into issues when I try a staging deploy and need to make changes in the CI but that is a problem for future Chris in a future video.
