"textContent": " * 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:\n\n\n\n\n -Senior Developer and Open Source Project Maintainer\n +Renovate Project Lead\n\n\n * Another busy week with a lot of stuff going on, but some good bits done\n * Preparing for a webinar I'm doing next-next week\n * _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\n * Had a nice catch-up with Ellie and Linh\n * Another episode of Fallthrough - still many things left unsaid!\n * In _Kingshot_ , excited for KvK against 521 (my old server) and hoping there's not much drama 😅\n * Finally wrote up why Libyears is a metric to be careful about\n * Wayne came to patch up where the beasties have been 🐿️\n * Did some bits on `oapi-codegen` and rootly-go this weekend\n * 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\n * The Hacker News discussion was pretty standard for them, and was fun to get the thread flagged because of one of the commenters 🫠\n * 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\n * 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\n * Booked flights for our holiday 👀\n\n\n\nReading:\n\n * _Persepolis Rising_\n\n\n\nWatched:\n\n * _The Expanse_ (Season 4)\n * _Succession_ (Season 2)\n * _Succession_ (Season 3)\n * _Star Trek: Into Darkness_ (2013)\n * _Star Trek: Beyond_ (2016)\n * _Saturday Night Live_\n * _Taskmaster_ (Series 21)\n\n",
