I've been working on migrating my personal site from Gridsome to Astro.

It's been an excellent way to gauge how Claude Code works with big problems and MCPs. I'm on my 4th or 5th iteration of the migration, and it's 98% where I want it.

I tend to get really annoyed at the personality types that won't give you the time of day unless there is something in it for them.

But then some days I wonder if they have a point...

Our "VIP" ticket for Hampton Roads DevFest is way more popular than I would've thought. $100 ticket compared to a $35/$50.

We launched it because we wanted to give a little extra to our biggest fans.

And it's helping a ton.

Sending an email to a mailing list is always stressful.

But if you get a Hampton Road DevFest email today, be kind —don't hit spam.
