Really happy to have published this post that I've been working on for a few months now 🥰

Safe to say I enjoy these side quests - I'd like to think it's the first of many!

Someone did a diss track (not really, they're very nice) about my AYTO post, where they augment the game with "vibes", letting intuition inform guesses as opposed to random chance. It's really interesting, you can read it here maxkapur.com/2025/12/19/p...

My 2025 💪 this is my personal gh, so it's basically me messing around with my stuff (mainly website & blog)

2026 I want to find more nerdy side quests to play with, and start contributing to some open source projects I'm passionate about 🙌

First time building a static site with a CMS for a friend since COVID and pretty much the entire stack has changed:

Gatsby => Astro
Netlify (CMS & identity) => Decap
React => React (I guess some things don't change...)

I can't keep up man 😪

He's not kidding 🙏 Sam reviewed a side project of mine recently with arugably more care & attention than I did making it. The feedback was thorough & thoughtful - thank you! 🫶
Are you working on anything like what I write: visual/interactive explanations of stuff? Would you like my feedback/help on it?

My fellow FPL nerds: I made an MCP server that wraps around the unauth'd FPL endpoints. I use it to blame a computer for my poor FPL performance, in case you want to do the same! ✌️
