Advent of TS - day 13. Why it pays to always read release notes. That one was painful!

I just stumbled upon Astro Docs Docs contribute.docs.astro.build what a fantastic resource! Really cool seeing the style guide laid out with explanations. Would be fun to try and contribute.
Relatedly, anyone recommend some good resources for more tech writing like this?

Upgraded the blog to Astro 5, ez pz. Ran the migration tool and followed the (excellent) docs for legacy content collection migration.
Only problem I had was the post id including the nested file path and I was using only post title before. Easily fixed during getStaticPaths() though.

TIL about the inert attribute: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...
I love that after years and years of following web stuff, I still get to learn new things. I think I would be thoroughly bored in a role without having the space to learn and tinker.

Never underestimate using the right tool for the right job. With so many options and strong opinions in web development, it's too easy to fall into the trap of sticking to what you know or who shouts loudest.
What you know isn't always the best tool though, neither is that rando on tinternet.

Tip of the week. Take a spell, even a short one, to shadow your support team or even work alongside them in the support queue. There's no better way to get to know the real users of your product, and gain empathy, which inevitably helps in all sorts of decisions going forward.

one thing bluesky does better than any other app i’ve ever used is drive conversation. why? because it _incentivizes_ conversation. not through algorithms or through some technological trick. but because the community itself thrives off of that conversation.

Used `git bisect` yesterday to narrow down a cause of slow rendering. Don't reach for it often but when I do, it's pretty glorious. Especially since I switched to neovim+lazygit a few months ago, lazygit is such a great halfway house between cli and full gui.
10/10 would recommend.
