I've been exploring ways to bring social engagement into my blog posts. Taking inspiration from Ashley Willis' implementation, I've integrated Bluesky comments and likes into my Hugo site using the AT Protocol's public API.

GitHub for All - Overview

2022-07-31 · 3 min

GitHub is one of my passion areas. You may have realised that already, with the amount of content that I've written about it. That's only going to continue, because I've recently been hired there as an Enterprise Advocate. I've been supporting customers in their DevOps journey for the past 9 years or so. Interestingly, there are some reoccurring themes that I've found that are common. One of those themes is that DevOps is an App Development concept. In fact, it's something that can be applied across domains (e.g. Infrastructure, Data, etc.) This is the start of a new blog series that will address those common themes, particularly in the context of GitHub.

Using GitHub Actions to summarise your Go tests

2022-05-16 · 8 min

GitHub recently posted about a new GitHub Action that can be used to summarise your test results. The action is called test-summary/action, available at github.com/test-summary/action. There are several examples on how to use the action at github.com/test-summary/examples. However, there were no examples on how to use this with Go. I contributed a pull request which showed how to achieve this. In this post, I will show how to use the action with Go.
