Australia’s Best Health Insurers
TL;DR List of best health insurers in Australia based on publicly available statistics.
I recently decided to up my health insurance from the bare minimum required by
the government here in Australia. It proved quite difficult to find which insurer
is the best for my state. Now the “best” insurer is a loaded term. It depends
on your needs, your age and so on. But that’s the matter of coverage. I wanted
to know which insurer was the easiest to deal with and actually cared abou … ⌘ Read more

My code is still a mess, but I’m learning
I taught myself Go (and programming in general) by learning by doing. I learned by making a lot of mistakes and after noticing them, doing the necessary research. My Go code is probably a big mess, but it’s so satisfying, after not touching some code for a while, to do a major rewrite and improve the code with everything I’ve learned since the last time. ⌘ Read more

My motivation to work on GoBlog isn’t always the same. Sometimes I don’t feel like programming in my free time, so the most I do is some bug fixing when I find broken things. Sometimes I just have no time to work on new features or improvements.

I had to break compatibility with existing plugins, but given the small user base and the limited scope of what plugins could … ⌘ Read more
