Observation: I absolutely wouldn't build a long term project using Nextjs without having full time development resource able to perpetually support the project.

Why? The API surface changes way too much and often.

A project like JS Bin, 16 years old, would have required constant support ALL of the time to keep it running.

Instead, it used express, which is a relatively "basic" pattern, but the complexity hasn't changed.

I enjoy Next for quick and dirty, but decade+… I don't think so.

Continuing to dredge my talk in cringe the only way I know how

Created 65 tickets to migrate from class components to functional , some are small and should be relatively easy others are 2000+ mono components that render whole pages. Legacy #React is such a trip (I’m sure I’m also responsible for similar code in a past life)

I have a child that doesn't like pizza. I also received a sourdough starter from a friend last week that I'm preparing some experiments with.

Will I change their mind?

Is anyone else addicted to vinyl records? 😬 How large is your collection? I'm at ~450 records at the moment.

‘The Mortimiser' is something I’ve been chipping away at for a few months now.

It uses the Bob Mortimer naming formula of ordinary first name with a noun/nonsense/mundane word. Who will you be today? Kenneth Warhammer? Agnes Buttery?

That's all it does. Nothing fancy!

Trying to decide whether putting a Mean Girls (2002) reference in a conference slide will be funny or just sad and passé
