When starting to create a new system, or participating in a new team or project, there is a simple but profound question: Is there a design specification for the API of this system (Web Server)? image by stable difussion, prompt by alswl This issue has bothered me for a long time, starting during my school days, and every time I needed to communicate and discuss with my team members. From the initial free style to the later REST, I often referenced Github v3 to the project team and the Foursqure API (no longer accessible, exposing age) documentation....

I recently completed the switch from Toodledo to Obsidian Tasks (an Obsidian plugin), both of which are extremely powerful time management tools. Although Toodledo was almost my favorite GTD software, the increasingly unstable service has been bothering me. Coincidentally, Obsidian Tasks’ ability to combine querying and knowledge base has produced a 1+1>2 effect. After trying it out, I decided to migrate to Obsidian Tasks.

First of all, I’d like to thank my in-laws for taking the baby for summer vacation, so I can have a weekend to develop this system. Also thanks to my wife, I did my own thing for two days during the weekend and didn’t criticize me. Lastly, I would like to thank the company for the team building, providing a hotel to stay and spending a night to fix the Chinese handwriting....

image from pixabay.com Static typing is becoming more and more popular. Several languages born after 2010, Go, Rust, TypeScript, etc., have gone the static typing route. Some of the previously popular dynamic languages (Python, PHP, JavaScript) are also actively introducing new language features (Type Hint, TypeScript) to enhance static typing. Having worked on larger projects in Python, I have experienced the difficulties that dynamic languages pose when projects get large: The cost of code regression during the refactoring phase was unusually high, and much of the historical code was afraid to move....
