Github produced a video series called “Maintainer Stories”. One of the videos is about my experiences as a maintainer of pgcli. 

Sempi: Appa, I’m making hot dogs. Do you want one? Me: Yes! How much is it? Eight dollars or Fifty Three dollars? Sempi: Appa, you can’t make up numbers. It is eight dollars. ps: He can count up to ten. It gets fuzzy after that.

I’m a bit of a classical string instruments nerd. I can’t pay any instrument but I listen to classical music a lot. Sempi and I like to name our trucks. Sempi goes for the classics like Mary Anne and Mike Mulligan. I usually go for Jacquline Du Pre, Yoyo Ma and Stradivarius. Me: So Yoyo Ma is driving the Stradivarius (the dump truck) and Jacquline Du Pre is digging the dirt with Guarneri (the excavator)....

Vian is starting to pull himself up. He stood up and tried to grab everything in his reach. Me: We shouldn’t keep the water cup here. Vian might grab it. Yoshi: We just have to keep an eye on him. You might think he has tiny T-Rex hands, but nooo. He’s more like an octopus with tentacles.

TL;DR: I built a little truck “game” to teach my son alphabets. I started watching http://javascript30.com a couple of days ago. It’s a series of 30 videos that uses vanilla Javascript to do amazing things. I have only done the first two videos in the series. Based on what I learned in those two videos, I decided to write a small game. My son is a fan of trucks, so I cobbled together a truck race that teaches him alphabets....
