I've been waiting 7 fucking years to delete this Firebase project. Building on top of Firebase has been one of the worst decisions I've done in my dev life. Only a single project remains and it will die in a couple of weeks. Let's go!

This album was so influential for me. I was *obsessed* with it when I started making beats with FastTracker 2 back in 98 or so. Probably the pinnacle of sampling.

This micro router by @evilmartians.com @en.sitnik.es is amazing. Needs a little plumbing but it is so flexible since the routing is decoupled from the rendering. github.com/nanostores/r... You might not need any of the usual heavy and complex routers for most projects.

Can anyone recommend an image hosting service with resizing etc? Typically would use Cloudflare Images but the freaking LaLiga situation sucks and a big chunk of users are in Spain. Tried Bunny Optimizer but a) pricing is per zone and b) reliability and performance are not great either.

Re-sharing this for all creatives out there. It's so easy to get lost in the woods. Thanks @eiscreamsherlock.bsky.social
a photo of page in a book with the test:

"Ahndraya Parlato
Hibernation
Stop actively looking at photographs and stop making them for a period of time. No blogs, no books, no websites. Visually hibernate. Try to forget what you think a "good" or "cool" photograph is. Try to forget what you've been taught in school.
After forgetting all that, try to remember why you wanted to make pictures in the first place. Do you still feel compelled to photograph? What do you want to photograph? Write down your answer.
When you feel hibernation is over, begin making images
again."

Spent an hour with Claude trying to solve a HMR issue with Vite and Solid. Turns out it's not a bug... The Solid Vite plugin just resets and replaces updated components and their children. Parent components remain untouched so at least it's not a full page refresh.

The @solidjs.com team is making an amazing job with Solid Start 2. Dependencies have dropped from 479 in v1 to 137 in the last v2 alpha version. And apparently a Rust version of vite-plugin-solid is coming up which would drop all the 50 or so Babel deps.
