Skimming through LinkedIn for job leads, as one does 12:30 at night right after Christmas. Saw a suggested post that opened with “Elon Musk is right” and nearly put my foot through the monitor.
Instead I calmly clicked that I wasn’t interested in the post, closed the tab, and made inarticulate snarling noises for five minutes.
As one does.

Task 14/31: the /follow/ page. Took a little work. Been using Markdoc for low-effort Hugo shortcode equivalents, but Astro only supports Markdoc for content collections (like blog posts).
Rather than make another collection, I added MDX integration (for later ideas). A look I’m not used to seeing in my Markdown, that’s for sure.

Task 15/31: basic automated testing of site
With normal invocation, Astro fails on the first file whose frontmatter displeases Zod. So without help you don’t know how much further you’ve got.
Figured out how to do parametrized testing with vitest (an array of post files processed by me, and a describe.each(posts) block with the actual tests)
and uh I don’t think I’ll make that field required after all

Me: yeah I don’t really care about computer stuff and especially not about performance or desktop apps or lower level programming languages
Also me: glued to the screen for almost an hour-long demo of an immediate mode GUI layout library written in C

Warning that something was using an excessive amount of RAM on the laptop. I assumed it would be Minecraft but no it was VS Code.

With my current configuration, Minecraft is allocated 10GB RAM. VS Code apparently tries for the other 22GB.

Probably shouldn’t have put the toilet so close to the food prep. Also, I’m gonna have to guess that you should avoid failing construction so badly you light yourself on fire.
The crawlers didn’t even rate a screenshot after all that.
