“Everyone’s afraid the studio doesn’t need the artist anymore, but it’s the artist that doesn’t need the studio” A little edgy for using a living person, moreso on the heels of Paul Schrader’s awful approach, yet it makes its point quite well, & I think that’s the point.

Still on the job hunt and sometimes the process feels like something out of another geological era. Yes, we're still being subjected to leetcode challenges and pre-hooks React bug-hunting! I was prepared for no AI assistance on this last application but no TypeScript in a clunky old IDE was painful.

Finally got around to converting another project from WordPress to Astro this weekend! That leaves only two more, and then I never have to deal with WordPress again (unless someone pays me to suffer through it).

It's funny how quickly "enshittification" came to mean simply "things getting worse" and not what Cory Doctorow originally meant when he coined the term. I guess that's the enshittification of enshittification?

Bluesky desperately needs a "mute America" feature.

I've really warmed up to Takumi as a Satori replacement. Migration was nearly painless, no more janky CSS subset with unexpected layout quirks, non-Latin character output is way less hassle, it's twice as fast for most of my projects, and it also works nicely in a dynamic environment. Recommended!

Takumi looks like a very cool Satori alternative! Rusty open graph image generator in a single binary.

Sätteri has reached 2 millions weekly downloads, that's a lot of people trusting me! I'm scared!

I've been logging build duration, page count, and other metrics on one of my @astro.build projects for months now. Out of curiosity I charted the results; Astro 7 and the new Rust-based markdown compiler Sätteri had quite an impact on build times! (Note the log scale.)

Spinning up another Bluesky account specifically for following tech and web dev discourse, sharing what I learn, building in public, and that sorta vibe 🦋
