I don’t have to imagine. This is me. Right now. Scrambling to save my small startup.

So many small electronics ventures in the US that are going to have to close up shop.

Speeding Up Page Loads with Prefetch In the previous post, I explained how I built my "Jekyll Compatible" blog engine in NextJS. At the end of the post, I pointed out some performance concerns related to the server actions and markdown p...

Moving from Jekyll to NextJS For over a decade I used Jekyll to power mikeheijmans.com and publish the occasional blog post. It turns out I'm pretty bad at consistently blogging and I always wanted my personal website to be more ...

I converted my old Jekyll based website to NextJS and I wrote a blog post on how I set it up to render all my old blog posts.

It was a bit more involved (and challenging) than expected. But it was fun.

β€œDon’t click links” is just good advice in general. Especially β€œshortened” links like tinyurls. Those are the most sus. Trust no one. At least tinyurl has the preview feature if you prepend β€œpreview” to the the url. But most others don’t have that.

I’ve been a huge fan for years and when I watched the video, I told my wife β€œthis is about what I’ve seen him get into on Bluesky” within the first 5 seconds. We both loved it and support it. You are awesome discussing it! It is a real problem and it’s rooted in our connection to technology.

This is a motivational quote? For whom? The aspiring criminal mastermind?

This is good though (the transparency of the cost part). People need to learn that the IMPORTER pays for the tariff. Too many people think its the exporter.

I feel like @proton.me should be slinging deals hard right now. This coupled with the recent AI policy change, I'm sure many people around here would like alternatives. I'm certainly looking for them for my businesses that currently use G-Suite.. err workspace (whatever they're calling it now)

@randomizy.bsky.social I see that you are open to work on your bsky profile, I have a 3d printing project you may be interested in that I could use some help. Can you DM if you you're interested in discussing it?
