Not that Iβm particularly active on Twitter, I usually just lurk, but Iβm stepping away from Twitter for a while in favor of Mastodon.
You can find me at toot.cat/@joshdotc

After a brief look at @nextjs, Iβve got to say, not particularly impressed
A few truly novel ideas in there, but the general philosophy of βunlike Gatsby, you get to roll your own data sourcingβ isβ¦ not a selling point

But he calls it a βgrooming sessionβ andβ¦ my god how do I tell him nicely how terrible of a term that is

I need a static site generator for my blog and Iβm getting progressively pickier with it, Iβm not impressed with anything so far
If anyone has suggestions, please nudge me in the right direction

I guess what Iβm looking for is:
- not JS based, no client-side JS
- not coupled to Git, hate the idea of βcommittingβ blog posts
- supports data sourcing (e.g. CMS or database at build time)
Everything Iβve found so far has only 2/3 of these, please help my family is dying

Ah yes, the Jane Austen strategy
Actually, fanfiction isnβt about writing pornography. Itβs about writing the longest and worst run-on sentence you can come up with.

My capstone project was... a peer-to-peer password manager. It ended up being very experimental, but before I continue working on it, does the concept of a "peer-to-peer password database" even sound useful? #programming

Link if you're curious: github.com/jtcooper10/munkey (very experimental, wouldn't recommend actually running it)

Me watching some high fantasy shit: I would simply not be corrupted by the magical object. If it is actively harming you why donβt you just put it down. Idiot

If you are ever tempted to ask an academic "Have you ever considered the possibility that the foundation upon which your field is built could be wrong?" the answer is yes, hourly.

.@zkat__ can't help but notice there's no C/C implementation of KDL yet. Is that just because it hasn't been implemented yet, or is there some general pushback against the C of it all that I missed?
