Yesterday I had the privilege of playing at the Chicago’s Symphony Center (where CSO plays). I’ve been in band almost continuously since 5th grade, but never thought I would be able to play at such a prestigious venue!

We (@lakesidepride) and the Atlanta Youth Wind Symphony sounded great and I had such a blast making a dream I didn’t know I had come to life.

I feel this very much. I’m coming out of both personal and professional burnout, and this quote sums up the experience quite well.
"burnout comes from when you put a lot off effort and don't see rewards"

I felt like it was time to redo my website, but I don't have a ton of new content to put on it. Plus I'm in the middle of a pretty big life shift, so here's the WIP:

Stop hanging around shitty people. Let go of people who hold you back from your full potential. Shittiness is contagious. Removing a shitty person from your life is addition by subtraction. Cultivate your friend group like a garden and remove the bad weeds.

You may have heard of Blaze, the new tool from the @LaravelLivewire team that speeds up Blade.
But did you know how it works? From folding to function compilation, we break down its optimization strategies, and even build a mini version to understand it.

contrast-color() is landing in Chrome 147, making it Baseline Newly Available in all modern browsers.
This feature takes any color value and returns either black or white—whichever provides the highest contrast against the input color.
i.e. color: contrast-color(purple) returns white ⬇️

Polymorphic relations are great, but complexity grows w/ each shared behavior. Delegated types flip this on its head, building a first-class entity for shared behavior!
Fewer entry points, less repetition, cleaner design.
