mikey-t / gulp-auto-start-wsl-docker.js
Created August 31, 2022 19:31
Auto start docker in wsl if it's not running. This is using @mikeyt23/node-cli-utils for waitForProcess/defaultSpawnOptions and assumes you'll use this task in a gulp series or parallel call.
async function startDockerIfNotRunning() {
const args = [
'-u',
'root',
'-e',
'sh',
'-c',
'"service docker status || service docker start"'
]
await waitForProcess(spawn('wsl', args, defaultSpawnOptions))

Software Development Philosophy and Rants

This is somewhere for me to rant about software development on the internet. I'm not necessarily good at always following my own advice, but what I say here is what I aspire to.

Best Practices

Must watch video by Ben Awad: Software Engineering "Best Practices".

Ben worded this really well, in my opinion:

Simple C# utility class to output to both console and a log file at the same time. Use it by simply calling Output.Write() and Output.WriteLine().
