The design looks like the head of a MUTO from Godzilla 🤣

Codemod tools like jscodeshift are great for extracting or analyzing a codebase too! I needed to find out how we were using a number of components at Cribl. Using jscodeshift, I crawled our largest frontend repo, extracted usage data, and persisted it to SQLite.

Played my first game of D&D last night. It was awesome! Here's a Midjourney recreation of when a friend leaped down an ancient well to save me from a giant centipede dragging me down into the depths. Except we both failed our skill checks so I got kicked in the face and he missed the centipede 😂

Rocking some dope Cribl swag today. Bonus points cause I'm rewatching Chuck right now 😂

Wrote a quick bash/zsh function to make creating worktrees easier.

I think I officially work at Cribl now 😂

Finished The Pitt over the weekend. What a show! Best 15 episodes of television I've seen in a while (and I've watched some good shows). The ensemble casts is great, but Noah Wyle in particular absolutely knocked it out of the park.

Commemorated July 4th in the best way possible, by watching Independence Day. So. Good.

Rolled over at midnight last night and thought there were emergency vehicles on our street because lights were flashing outside our blinds. Turns out it was an awesome lightning storm. Caught a minute of it on my phone.

Binged all of Mr Inbetween last week. It was great! I was particularly impressed with Scott Ryan's writing and acting. Hope to see more of him soon.

My wife has been sick the past two days and can't really talk. Thankfully, we met over AIM so our relationship still thrives with text-only communication. 😁

Awesome work! Love Zod! A note on the blog post: I think the code snippet in v4.zod.dev/v4#json-sche... is incorrect. The commented output doesn't match `mySchema`.

So...my morning is going well 😂

List of three commits on GitHub – CI checks failing for the first two – with the commit messages "linter updates", "ummm, wat?", and "go home eslint, you're drunk"

Seriously, how have we not gotten rid of daylight savings time yet?! Asking for a friend who's a parent of two small children and sleep deprived right now.
