I‘ve been knee deep in render optimisation the past few days, tough but I‘ve got things working pretty well now.
Also just added RSS feed generation. It was really quite straight forward to add, it plugged straight into the rendering system which uses fragments to make sure content only has to be rendered once, even if it appears on several pages, including the feeds.
That will be another blog post at some stage.
Possibly something to show in the next few days. #
This graph of inflation cycles since the 1970s from @lawrencelepard caught my eye. The obvious question is what is similar about the present moment and back then? We should really figure this out before all the folks around back then are RIP. Also wouldn't it be wild if the same pattern repeated itself further back into the past? #
I've switched back to working on my publishing software‘s cli after spending a while working on the server-side. It‘s amazing how quickly you can get your head back into code you have forgotten about with the help of LLMs. They can see through lines in the code instantly, and can summarise exactly how things work. It‘s really quite incredible. Hopefully will have some interesting progress to share soon regarding how the blog is rendered. #
Since I was previously posting about trillionaires, here's an angle from David Sachs that describes what wealth actually looks like practically speaking because it's not just a big pile of money.
We need better ways to more easily get a feel for what is normal and what is excessive in this realm. #
Yesterday's notes got rendered in to the site without issues :) #
Great new episode from Peter McCormack, talking with Fernando Nikolic about how they've both been building cool stuff with AI.
It's interesting seing how AI tools are empowering people to build their own custom software. People who wouldn't have previously interacted with Github repositories, environment variables or deployed code to hosting providers are starting to become software engineers.
I think content creation using these tools is well aligned with this trend. And you only need to understand a small subset of the commands to go from md file to published. #
