Q: For those who haven’t been following the project, how would you describe Star Trek: Section 31?

I read this in John de Lancie’s voice.

Every time I see this image, I have the same question: what’s going on with C3P0’s crotch

lol yeah, that’ll do it.

Using the template syntax you can start by copy/pasting the site to be migrated, and then inject sections that render using markdown syntax.

What templating languages do you know already, and are you running 11ty v3? There are some gotchas around images because (I think) the eleventy-image plugin is enabled by default.

I’ve found success running with .webc which is effectively HTML until you need it to be more.

Shout out to my fellow “None Backup Strategies” chaos goblins.

I’m solidly in favor of the Benevolent Dictator For Life (BDFL) model of open source stewardship.

Now let me show you how that exact model can go sideways and disrupt massive swaths of the development community, without a whiff of irony.

Counterpoint: If you think you said something stupid, you’re entitled to delete it. Don’t feel obligated to hang your ass out there and take a beating for a cold take.

Repokémon is an amazing name.

The answer has been “No” a few times and boy does that suck.

“No one has ever attempted something so convoluted/silly/impossible before. Guess we get to see if we’re actually programmers or not.”

I made sure answering, “Has someone figured this out already?” is a formal step in defining project scope at my company.

Donphan is legit, too.

This person couldn’t be bothered to search “Phanpy Mastodon” to learn more, literally everything is non-trivial to them. They probably have to remember to breathe.

In my experience, and in the experience of my coworkers/contemporaries, our formal education taught us how to program which is distinct from which language we program in. For instance, my Java dev friend learned to program in C++ because that’s what was being instructed. I was forced to learn ActionScript 2 and then was forced to migrate to ActionScript 3, because that’s what was being taught. The experience of programming something and iterating on it was far more valuable than knowing a language like C++ or ActionScript.

Languages come and go, some faster than others, and you’ll eventually get to a point where your personal preferences stop mattering as much as which language is best for the task at hand.

PHP is dead. Long live PHP.

Let me Google that for you.

Okay, so, FOSS.

If WordPress doesn’t want WP Engine doing what it’s doing, they need to change their license. It’s not “Free Open Source Software Until Something We Don’t Like Happens.”

I maintain that we should all aspire to be a firetruck when we grow up.

Whatever they have to do to shoehorn Tawny Newsome and Jack Quaid into Starfleet Academy or SNW.

Amazon SES is dirt cheap, billed per-send, you just need to bring the Everything Else with something like Mailcoach or Sendy.
