Saw a writhing ribbon snake mating ball today - very active with the warm weather! (Don’t watch if you have a snake phobia… it was a lot in person, 😝 🐍)

I stepped down from management last year to focus on architecture at @khanacademy.org full-time; big impact on my dev velocity!
* Architecture decision records I authored: 14 (🆙 250%)
* Decision Records I personally approved: 70 (🆙 94%)
* PRs reviewed: 1,276 (🆙 20%)
* PRs authored: 546 (🆙 333%!)
I've been using @tanstack.com Start for a new project and it's super good. The server functions completely replace the need for TRPC/GraphQL/REST, the middleware is composable and fully typed, and having TSRouter's nice typing and stateful search params is icing on the cake. A+!
I ported ukiyo-e.org over to @cloudflare.social Workers + R1 (image hosting, about 1TB) + D2 (for DB and search) recently and I'm super happy with it, it's a great experience! Have it using React Router v7 + React 19, about 11 mil dynamic requests/month, served in under 35ms! Total cost ~$25/month.
Got to see two dream art pieces yesterday: weavings depicting computer chips by the Navajo weaver Marilou Schultz. They were on display at MoMA and were incredible to see in person. So intricate and detailed, but also handmade and steeped in tradition. More info: www.moma.org/magazine/art...
I have a private db of Japanese print sales and I used Claude Code to make a report analyzing this month's auctions: data.ukiyo-e.org/auctions/asi... identifying under-valued lots, rare prints, comparing prints across auctions. Normally VERY hard to get this guidance.

We just moved @khanacademy.org over to using @rspack.dev today for our prod builds, from Webpack 5. We saw build times improve by about 2min or so (approx. 3min -> 1min). It was extremely easy to move to from Webpack, highly recommended for anyone on the fence!
In an era where folks are using AI to remove creative and artistic expression it feels especially poignant to see these very handmade art pieces depicting technology. I hope we can continue to pass down our creative pursuits to future generations, like Marilou is doing.
