And it's just pretty to look at–consider it my ode to Don Norman's juicer.
Well, Mother Nature is wrecking my plans for tonight—a massive storm has showed up out of nowhere and our power is going in and out.
So, I’m postponing stream for tonight, but I’ll be back either another day this week or at the same time next week. Thanks for your patience!

Had an incredible time on stream last night getting to chat with folks and write some code!
Hit a pretty big milestone thanks to a raid at the beginning of the stream, so a huge thank-you to everyone who hung out and stuck around!
We'll be back again next Wednesday for more shenanigans 😂

I'm curious–right now your homepage is static thanks to `getPosts()` reading from the filesystem, which makes total sense. Do you see a world where you'd ever have to change it to be server rendered instead to paginate for load time reasons if you write a lot more posts?
Not even finished yet, but "For example, let's say you're building a log collection service. Text logs, not wooden ones." had me rolling.
I'm having too much fun shuffling cards, though. Might never finish at this rate 😅
