Also wrote a more personal blog style post over at brianmuenzenmeyer.com/posts/2025-i...

kidding aside, some research says I might be able to actively re-habilitate this domain, if it's worth it, via google search console work. need to crunch some numbers

I could do something pretty funny with those requests, but I don't wanna be a dick.

It'd be nice to be able to generate an SBOM as an artifact on the Releases page too.

This is true of all team members actually. The trick is to have more >1 days than less

This also just begs for a playable tetris game. I need worked to polish this initial cut of AI slop into a Web Component that can handle many tetris blocks, or give me just one, etc. Seems like a fun thing to iterate on. Only renders on wider screens.

People want to classify you as one thing or another. Life is far more complicated than that and I choose to celebrate it.

🆓 To celebrate this new post, I've also released Chapter 3: Consuming Open Source Software. This remains a good coffee read and resource nonetheless. Find this in the comments, as well as the source code.

✨ This post complements Chapter 1 of Approachable Open Source - providing thematic oomph as you start your reading journey. I've "illuminated" the text with a link directly too it. A first iteration of transforming the text into a truly perennial resource that will outlast any print run.

🎙️ This idea percolated from a short conversation with Marty Henderson, into a @nodejs.org blog post, to a cozy @minnestar.org talk, to a great JavaScriptMN meetup night, and finally a full-stage @jsconf.bsky.social talk last month. It was only proper to give this the long-form treatment it deserves.

it was. in early conversations with my editors they were suspicious that the joke would land. i insisted

honestly it was better live, with confusion in all. If YOU cannot land it well, gosh knows how the community will navigate.
