Creating a Python Weather App for Terminal
I’m spending waaaay too much time in terminal these days and I’m slowly replacing functions I use on my Google Home Mini with commands on my MacBook, because, as always, why not? The title says it all. I can now run a weather command in terminal to grab the weather… Continue reading
A simple nodeJS REST API
The Background For one of my home projects, I require an API service for my Angular SPA to interact with. I could’ve opted for C++ or Java but the turnaround on writing code in nodeJS is so much quicker, not to mention its efficiency. The project I’m working on is… Continue reading
