For people using Cloudflare: how do you handle OpenGraph images while protecting against bots?
Whenever we turn on bot protection, it prevents legitimate bots from accessing our Opengraph images. We'll likely need more fine tuned bot rules, but I'm curious what approaches work?

At this point in my life, Iβd say my biggest fears are (in no particular order): a fascist government takeover, breaking production & not being able to get it running again and putting my wifeβs clothes in the dryer when they were supposed to be hung up.

Just crunched the numbers for the Hardcover 2025 Year in Books! Won't share any spoilers, but I'm both surprised and not surprised by some of the results. π

Not right now :/ it uses the most popular edition right now as a default before changing.
I love the idea of having a default for that per user though, rather than overall popularity.

Ah we probably need to make it more prominent. The compare link is on the right next to shared reads on someoneβs main profile page.
Where would you expect/want to see that?

What are your goto lenses? I usually carry a 23mm and an 18-135.

For the journal, what's there now is very-much an MVP. Would love to turn it into something a lot more organized. I initially wanted something Notion-like, with each entity being it's own "object", but with a collective view for a book.

π Just wrapped up my 2025 reflections, and well, it was a wild year!
I reflected on how the AI shift has changed my role at Google, and the way teams build. At the same time, I worked on keeping balance for family, friends, and the hobbies that keep me sane.

Excited to share my 2025 Hardcover Wrapped!
This was a fun holiday project to put together. Over the last 2 weeks, we sketched ideas as a team, dot voted on concepts, prototyped in Figma and turned those into this data-driven, animated wrapped! Love how it turned out.

I worried I was too rough π
The book was published in 2016 by a consultant who mostly did physical product pricing. There were a bunch of relevant topics, but few that led me to think differently or revisit my existing strategies.

I tend to not pick out more than my next 2-3 books. That way I can slot in new books that pop up without putting them off for too long.
This year Iβm aiming to read more physical books that Iβve already bought and are teasing me on my shelf. π

The most important post on Bluesky today
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
