Week Notes 26#20

• Got my job title changed at work, covering the role I do have and the work I'm doing (but no update to /salary/) which is cool! It's also a lot easier to say:

  -Senior Developer and Open Source Project Maintainer +Renovate Project Lead

• Another busy week with a lot of stuff going on, but some good bits done

  • Preparing for a webinar I'm doing next-next week
  • Still waiting for GitHub/npm support to help us unpublish a number of old npm releases so we can publish new package versions for Renovate

• Had a nice catch-up with Ellie and Linh

• Another episode of Fallthrough - still many things left unsaid!

• In Kingshot , excited for KvK against 521 (my old server) and hoping there's not much drama 😅

• Finally wrote up why Libyears is a metric to be careful about

• Wayne came to patch up where the beasties have been 🐿️

• Did some bits on oapi-codegen and rootly-go this weekend

• Wrote a slightly clickbait post about the rise of using "open-source" - I'm still not super happy with the wording of the title as it feels a little clunky

  • The Hacker News discussion was pretty standard for them, and was fun to get the thread flagged because of one of the commenters 🫠

• Cookie had great fun time when she found a squirrel hiding behind the compost bin and getting very close to catching it - I stopped her and tried to get the squirrel to run away, but it ended up running towards me/through my legs, but decided to start climbing on me 😳😳😳 I yelped a little and it jumped off, and I got Cookie into the conservatory so it could try and get free. She spent a lot of the rest of the day being very detective-like in trying to find where it was

• Had a nice dinner at Myeong Dong - albeit it wasn't quite as DIY as when I'd been to a Korean BBQ place in London - and a very sweet Cookie Dough at Creams afterwards

• Booked flights for our holiday 👀
