👨💻 Been working through a chunky `phoenix_live_view` version bump on a client project for the last few days. So many duplicate DOM ID warnings. Also need to move a bunch of other things forward in the same push (Oban Web, Storyboard, Flop, etc.), each with their own little things to fix.

💰 With much gratitude, I share that I have regular client income and have removed the `looking for work` subtitle of my social name plates.
I still have some hours available, but I'm just as happy to keep those to myself unless a well-fitted opportunity presents itself.

My consulting work schedule is built to allow me time for side projects, but I don't have a solid one right now.

🍿 Started catching up on ElixirConf videos after owning a virtual ticket, but not doing much with the live streams.
Still very torn on Chris McCord's perspective and pitch of AI. Can't say I'm excited about the idea where most of my day is spent doing code review of the robot output. #ElixirLang
