Happy New Year, folks!

I lent a hand reviewing and have manually checked every site listed. There are some proper gems!

Personal sites are sick as hell, so this site was built so we can all discover each other's. This directory of links are by folks that want to share their site with the world.

My year was defined by peaks and valleys. Started strong at the beginning of the year and then disappeared for half of it. Glad I could end on a positive with my 2025 year in review.

My favorite advice for blogging remains that you should hit publish while you are still actively unhappy with what you have written, because the only alternative is a huge folder full of drafts and never publishing anything at all

I like the illustrations, but the nod to #Rails in its homepage has me wondering. Are there many languages out there that seem so intertwined with a framework?

Why is it such a big deal that GitHub is charging for self hosted runners?
Presumably there’s still a cost for GitHub even with self hosted runners. There’s so much more than just the runner compute.
