This took way too long to figure out...
I don't like generics

Been ages!
Took a long break from socials, and it really helped lol
I'm back working on some side projects.

How is everyone doing?

Decided to commit to learn how to touch type once and for all. I'm quite surprised with my results so far.

Not saying i'm good by any means, considering it took me around 7 whole minutes lol, but i'm quite happy!

made some progress on skymdb this weekend. i'm happy with the progress, but not happy with the quality of the changes. I will have to spend some time this week cleaning up the way db queries are made.

Hey @mk.gg and anyone else that might have some insight!

I'm relatively new to Astro, but I tried to follow what was outlined in the bluesky loader readme. I can't seem to get the posts to load in. Any tips for me?

Here's the link to the package: github.com/ascorbic/ast...

Just took a break from work, and came back to this. 98 followers???? I guess I have @imlunahey.com to thank for this ❤️‍🔥

Appreciate all the people who followed me. Let's hope my posts keep you happy 🤞

Oh lord either I'm extremely tired or this truly is pure insanity. I am gonna stash these changes and have a look at them on the weekend cuz this is making me feel weird things...

Good morning y’all
Let’s have a GREAT day!!!
November 13, 2024 at 6:10 AM
look ma, i’m one of the cool kids 😎

Almost 11 months at this job, and lord does it feel weird to have so many changes... To be fair, it's a monorepo, but doesn't host all of our services' code.

Guess the tech stack - I dare you. Hint: One frontend application, everything else is either a package or a backend service.

would you believe me if I said it's next on my queue right now?
November 12, 2024 at 9:48 AM
work is being done. i wish had more time for this, but even today was an exception. I don't think I can work on this except for weekends ooof

let's see how long this takes 🫠

“based on what you know about me. draw a picture of what you think my current life looks like”

kinda accurate, except for the fact that I have a vertical mouse and not a magic mouse - that thing is an ergonomic nightmare. I also don't have an iMac, rather a MBP and a Mac mini lol

Okay so I finally deployed a working version of Kommentar. A very simple and lightweight API to enable comments on any application. Still needs work but I'm happy. I can sleep peacefully now. Check it out?

kommentar.safwanyp.com/reference

Next up: some super-detailed docs for a super simple API 😆
