Hi, I’m Jason Scheirer. I’m a professional programmer and in my free time I’m a hobbyist programmer. I write games, I make little web toys, I talk about the passage of time. If you’re quiet on a summer’s day you can hear me whispering about JavaScript on the cool breeze.

Every deviation from default is slowing you down from getting started and making it harder to help others. I use about 5 distinct laptops/desktops on an average day, not to mention the VMs within them and other machines I shell into....
Having spent the last 6 months working on an Electron app full-time, my Stockholm Syndrome has kicked in and I’ve come around to it. It’s easy to disparagingly refer to an Electron app as bloated, or a crappy wrapper around a web app....

Introduction I’ve been enjoying standalong MP3 players! The Innioasis Y1 kept coming across my radar, I like the the form factor, it was $50. What the heck, why not. And Then The community for this thing is insane, it’s just as active as...
Introduction My Shanling Q1 died after a couple of years of heavy use and I think it was probably fixable with some soldering but I don’t have time for that. In a rush, I bought an M0s not reading the page and thinking it was the...
Similar to The Wrong Conclusion is another cognitive anti-pattern: in the pursuit of identity we see ourselves as being something as an inherent quality of ourselves versus doing something as a role, a quality being temporarily...
I have my seed Starship config up as a Gist. Starship is a tool that frustrates me because it seems so bikesheddy and unneeded: a custom prompt manager. We already had shell prompt customization! I blindly install oh-my-* on new machines...
I’ve been using the Tailwind CSS Framework for about two and a half years (as of July 2025) for my personal projects, and I used it professionally in my time at unstructured as well. In all, I think it’s a good thing. However, I don’t...
