Week Notes 26#19

• A very short workweek, with Bank Holiday Monday, the GitHub Maintainers Summit and Matt's funeral on Thursday
• Had a chilled Bank Holiday Monday
• Was nice to be invited to the GitHub Maintainers Summit, and found it a good time!
  • I didn't end up writing many notes that are worth sharing publicly, in particular because there were a number of confidential sessions where lot of the interesting things were being shared! Sorry y'all!
  • Some good discussions, and it was at times hard to follow the speakers because the chat was pretty intense!
  • There was a nice balance in the maintainers around the (over)use of AI in the platform, and the overwhelming burden it's leading to maintainers having to deal with
  • The classic "shower oranges" came up
  • Was very cool to be part of the group, especially with some of the folks who were there!
• Matt's funeral and wake on Thursday was nice, but also tough - it's never nice to lose someone, especially so young
• Caught up on some saved YouTube videos this week, as I wanted a break from my regular listening and catch-up on some older videos
• Cookie and I had a fairly chill weekend while Anna's been away, and it's been a much needed reset
  • I've ended up recharging a fair bit, and it's been nice to ignore any external pressures (Open Source, blog, personal projects, life admin) and instead focussing on resting
  • The only tech-ish thing I've done this weekend (aside from a couple of podcasts) is see if I can get Claude Sonnet to help me upgrade my version of Hugo - still not quite there and quite a big set of changes (~4 years worth of updates!) - even though I'd tried this a couple of months ago and hit some of the same issues
  • Been enjoying watching the always great The Expanse and finding it a good watch that's been worth investing my time in
• I rediscovered how great ice cream sandwiches are 😋
• Got some good work done for Rootly this week
• Missed the start of the Apex Legends season, and think I'm glad I did given the chaos of Axel
