April 18, 2025 Hey friends, I want to share a lesson I learned today about properly managing my 11ty site repository. For a while now, I've been noticing something strange whenever I committed changes to GitHub. When I'd make edits with my development server running (npm start), my commits would include a bunch of...
April 17, 2025 I guess for us techies especially, the desire to tinker with the site comes from having a deeper interest in writing code than writing prose.[…] I also love tinkering with my website to learn new things and to make the site and its tooling even better suited for my own needs.[…] I can write my blog...
April 16, 2025 Jack Baty I need to find a way for my brain to relax. I spend entire days with a dozen apps open, each with a dozen tabs open.

Putting thoughts into words forces us to process them in a way passive consumption doesn't. But most of all, write because your voice matters even if only to you. And if just one person...
February 26, 2025 Hannah Ziegler, The Washington Post Online education company Chegg sues Google, says AI is killing business A new lawsuit against Google alleges that the search giant’s artificial intelligence summaries have hurt online education company Chegg’s traffic and revenue so much that the company may not...
February 20, 2025 Dave Rogers I have a 10th generation Kindle Paperwhite. I've read from it a fair amount, particularly when I was away, because it's so light. But I generally don't care for the experience. It's very slow, and whenever I turn a page I get this annoying flash as the screen goes through this inversion...
