I was stuck on part 2 for a little while as I was trying to avoid the brute-force approach (nested loop). Eventually I caved, brute-forced it, then used that result to debug my more efficient implementation.

Maybe with only 12 days this year I might actually finish the whole lot this year 🤞

It was one of my first conferences too — feels like a lifetime ago!

Alas it's not longer a thing, but I'm sure @ukmadlz.bsky.social will be restarting it any day now 😉

Also we met waaay back in 2016 when you were with Contentful. You sponsored a little hack (Hackference) in Birmingham and I won a Sphero and an excellent pair of socks from you 🧦👌

First pair of web dev socks I owned, definitely not the last

I had entirely forgotten about Klout! Simpler times…

I had Bluesky verify my domain's DNS record and it started working again. It's a mystery 🤷

Weird, I’ve not touched any settings. My PDS is still running and the logs look good.

The only thing that’s changed is that I’ve used Bsky today more than I have any other day, basically for the first time

Yes something is borked and I think it’s probably my fault…

Although if I have FA + 11ty then you might as well just take over maintenance of the site for me @zachleat.com, I’m not needed any more!

Huh, never heard of it… 😉

Seriously though I probably will switch. FA’s my default, but new site new stack and all that! Lucide’s been great but I’m running up against the limits of it with my little menagerie.

I think I’ve got an FA license somewhere too 🤔

You mean you’re not on mouse.app and pig.biz? Missing out!

I’m gonna need to commission some more animal icons as I think we’ve just about exhausted Lucide’s offering.

My kids love recording the sounds, and ngl I click through and listen to them all several times per day 🐘 🦁

That’s the nicest thing I’ve heard all day, thanks @jim-nielsen.com 💖

I’m loving hacking on it, so it’s a pleasure to hear that it’s brought someone else joy too, and that my ridiculous prose is appreciated by someone other than myself!

Cheers Dave! 💖
