We are a group of humble, but amazing developers with one thing in common: we're all west of somewhere else. Where we differ from similar sites: we talk to each other! Often. At conferences, via email, and on Slack. From Docker to Canadian politics to feature toggles to smoked meat, we're never at a loss for words. We blog, talk, write, and present. Thanks for stopping by.

An exploration of Azure Functions for a side project
Kyle Baley
This is a short PSA for people (or, more likely, just future me) to describe two issues I ran into while migrating a bash file to Azure Functions. Namely: How do I see the exceptions that happened? How do I configure an Azure Function app to save a PDF to a Google Drive folder This is from the perspective of someone who doesn't need their app to be highly available/scalable/reliable/tenable/affable/inscrutable/explicable, which the documentation for all cloud products seems to assume (and, it must be said, rightfully so).

Truly syncing multiple calendars
Kyle Baley
For reasons that I really need to investigate, I'm apparently a busy fellow. Such that I now maintain a rather ungainly number of calendars. Three to be exact. That's one personal calendar and one for each of two clients.
