Sometimes I wish I had fewer ideas.
Execution of an idea is way more important than the quantity of ideas you have; and as someone who struggles with executive function, I get sad when I look at my unmerged branches on my blog.
The best blog post left unpublished doesn't help anyone. Well, maybe it helps the author clarify their ideas.
Execution is (almost) the whole game.

Yes, I know the cliché that bloggers are always blogging about blogging! I like semantics. It tickles that part of my delicious meaty brain that longs for structure. Semantics are good for computers and humans. Computers can easily understand the structure of the data, humans can use tools like screen-readers to extract the data they're interested in. In HTML, there are three main ways to …

The key thought is that for upcoming events, it really helps if there's a calendar feed. You can subscribe and see events in your local calendar app. I started looking around the #hugo community, and people have built out ways of doing that:

The discussion around the scrapers is fascinating and challenging, these things are everywhere and don't behave very nicely. There's also discussion about running a successful open source project. Xe has a lot of experience to share with us, you're going to learn something new with this one. The show notes and blog post for this episode can be found at
We're joined by Sid Sijbrandij, founder of GitLab who led the all-in-one coding platform all the way to IPO. In late 2022, Sid discovered that he had bone cancer. That started a journey he's been on ever since... a journey that he shares with us in great detail. Along the way, Sid continued founding companies including...
Looking into the https://forgefed.org spec this evening and there’s nothing about packages or dependencies yet.
Imagine if repositories and forges could announce to the maintainers of packages that they just started using their package, and then be able to subscribe to maintainers announcements of new releases, security advisories and calls for help.
They don’t even do that in centralised forges very well at the moment!
As you can tell from our faces, open source is very serious and Kubernetes is the most serious project of them all.
