  Ignoring bulk change commits with git blame

  17-10-2019

  Arnout Boks

  A long-standing objection to making bulk changes to code using automated tools is that it clutters the output of git blame. With git 2.23, this does not have to be the case anymore!

  Reducing the size of an iconfile

  18-09-2019

  Yelitza Jansen

  We love our icons, we love their shape, colours, their meaning and purpose, but we kind of hate their weight. For all our icons we had a separate SVG which means that all the icons had to be loaded in those colours. 130 x 7 colours resulted in one big file. That data needed to be loaded in our application every time. This wasn’t maintainable therefore we needed to look for a better solution.

  Tom den Braber

  The cause of a memory issue is often hard to find. In the previous post in this series, we looked at two methods for finding the culprits of a memory issue. In this post, we will look at another tool for finding memory leaks: php-memprof, created by Arnaud Le Blanc.

  Emilie Dack

  Big steps have been made since we first started with our design system project. It has become a well-oiled process and everyone is familiar with the tool. We were curious to know how the rest of the team felt about working with it. Time for some internal research!

  Best practices for PHP exception handling

  10-01-2019

  Arnout Boks

  Handling errors or other non-'happy path' situations is essential when creating robust PHP applications. Proper exception handling takes quite some effort, but will eventually result in a much more stable application. In this post, I would like to introduce you to the set of best practices we have adopted at Moxio over the years.
