SaturdayMP Show 36: picoCTF Gym

Posted on March 13, 2024 by Chris C

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. I don’t fully understand the solution so let me know if you do. Figuring out the bit math seems like a good future video.

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

Posted on February 21, 2024 by Chris C

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)

Posted on February 14, 2024 by Chris C

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.

SaturdayMP Show #31: Human Resource Machine Fibonacci and Three Sort

Posted on February 7, 2024 by Chris C

In this episode I try Endede‘s solution to the Fibonacci Size Challenge in Human Resource Machine and, spoiler alert, it work! Thanks Endede!

You can stop watching the video after the Fibonacci section, unless you like watching me struggle, as I attempt the Size or Speed Challenge for the Three Sort problem and fail at both. Ping me if you have suggestions for solving the Three Sort challenges.

SaturdayMP Show #30: Upgrading Website from Rails 6.1 to 7.0 Part 3 (Testing & Merging)

Posted on January 31, 2024 by Chris C

In this episode I do some more testing, fix issues found during the CI, and merge the branch to main which kicks off a production deployment of the SaturdayMP site.

Should have been a shorter video but I created a CI issue by changing they system tests from using “headless_chrome” to just “chrome”. If you know the reason for this issue let me know in the video comments or email me.
