Here’s the finished product up on the wall! Still need to order a paint pen, apparently that’s the best for writing on top of polyurethane

gah, iphone 13 pro display died this morning. It's still on, but the display won't come on. do I spend ~$300 to repair or upgrade for $1k? 🤦♂️

Aaaaand single-file executable Inertia SSR with Svelte is alive! 🎉The hard part was getting Bun to understand Svelte, if you use React this is probably very easy. Once import.meta.glob is supported it'll be a nothingburger no need for node on your server, just scp and ./ssr 🤤
Sam Lewis@saml.dev · 10mo agoNerd sniped myself, and I have Inertia SSR working with Bun. Haven't gotten it built into a binary yet but it seems plausible without being too painful (now that I got the plugin figured out) Here's a gist of the Bun plugin to get Svelte Inertia SSR working gist.github.com/saml-dev/4ff...

Sam Lewis@saml.dev · 10mo agoTurns out this was not as simple as I had hoped 😂 time boxing it now, probably not enough ROI tbh
My favorite thing about Go is how easy it is to deploy a single binary. I wondered if I could switch Inertia SSR from a node process to a binary with no external dependencies... you can. I have it working locally with no changes to Inertia itself. Just a few changes to ssr.js
My coworker just said the funniest thing. We were talking about kids, he’s got 4 ages 10-20. I have one kid, 19 months old, and said I’ve already thought about how challenging teenage years will be. His response:

The new iOS might be worse than I was expecting and that’s saying something
Great find at the lumber yard today 😍 figured sapele for a great price. I don’t have a project in mind, what should I make with it? I might make a serving board for my sister for Christmas but would still have 2/3 of the board left

honestly a relief that even tailwind hasn't totally figured out dealing with 419s in inertia 😂
Okay so I've got a decision to make. I'm taking over the HOA site for my new neighborhood, and it's currently a wordpress site that is slow and expensive. I want to just rewrite it in Laravel, but obviously someone with 0 programming knowledge wouldn't be able to just take it over

If you ever watch a couple YouTube videos on a random topic and then the algorithm won’t stop recommending those videos to you (like how to fix your dryer) just go to your watch history and remove those videos. Problem solved
new profile pic really doesn't show my face but it does show my dog sooo
Whattttt I didn’t have a @mostlytechnical.com shout out on my todo list for today! Sounds like @ianlandsman.com is plotting to keep me out of the main party tho so I can keep the waitlist party going 👀 next man up! 😂
They could make an episode of Modern Marvels about my son’s process of eating all the applesauce off his toast without eating any toast
Also as a metalhead I gotta say this instrumental metal soundtrack that’s been playing all over the venue is epic 🤘

I met so many awesome people at Laracon today. Some that I knew from the internet, and some total strangers. I’m forcing myself to say hi to as many people as I can and it’s been great! So glad I came
