A little light this week. I saw some amazing shots of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, helpful tips for designing for older adults, a new attack vector for the iPhone, and more.

This past week I started a new React project at work and was dealing with a weird issue with one of my components. It turns out the issue was caused by Strict Mode on React.

A little light this week, but a bunch of podcasts this time.

I’ve toyed with the idea over the last year about possibly moving away from using Next.js for my website. A recent post on Mastodon from Zach Leatherman gave me a little bit more of a push.

The other day in my quest to go through my podcast queue I was listening to an episode of PodRocket, The state of JS frameworks with Chris Ferdinandi. It was a good discussion on some of the downsides of frameworks like React, Vue, and the like. I would highly recommend listening to it.

Over the course of the last few weeks I’ve been revising how several of my pages get their data. Instead of having to manually edit a JSON file that’s in my code base, I’ve been pulling from Notion’s API. The benefit of this is that it’ll be easier to update the pages. I figure I’ll show how I did it in hopes of helping others.

Over the last week and a half, I've been starting to play around with Astro again. I had built a good bit of my site in it a while back, but then decided just to re-jigger my Next.js site. Reading and listening to some podcasts has brought me back to starting over.

I was listening to ShopTalk Episode 553 and Dave asked a question that made me pause and think, hmmm…

Two weeks worth of articles this week as I was in New York City last weekend. This log has a bunch of news out of the Microsoft-Activision acquisition, Reddit following the path of Twitter, and more.

New updates about .NET 8 & TypeScript, JavaScript failures & progressive enhancement, and more.

CSS is finally getting a killer feature, Elon is being Elon & the Supreme Court hears an important Internet case.

Some criticism and defense of React this week.

A scary moment in the NFL Monday night. Also lots of podcasts this week.

Too much Musk this week.
