Took me a while, but I finally got around to doing this repair. A neighbor lent me their soldering iron which was... probably too big for this job. I used it anyway. Here's the incredibly messy, ugly, result. But, my speakers are fixed! And it was free!

I rewrote it in Astro towards the end of last year, but am finally getting around to starting to think through some content I'd like to put up there. I tend to enjoy writing when I actually take the time to do it, but finding the motivation is pretty tricky (at least for me). Anyone have any tips?

Finally I tried it in Safari and, tada! Everything worked! Turns out there’s a bug in Chromium: issues.chromium.org/issues/36059.... It’ll hang onto the original sprite even if you clear cache 😩. Hope they can fix this soon, what a pain. Good news is that my approach works great!

Core of Zendesk’s Support is still RoR as well, well over 2B requests hitting the app daily and growing rapidly as we do more and more with automated resolutions powered by AI. One of my coworkers did a talk on how we scale it a couple of years ago: youtu.be/mJw3al4Ms2o?...

Also: I feel like people are sleeping on Apple Fitness. I’ve tried a few different at-home workout programs but none have the breadth of content combined with instructors that actually make you feel good about working out, not yelling at you. It’s so good. Try it!

I’m enjoying having the framework-y bits more in the background and focusing on craning out some HTML and CSS (well, Tailwind).
