Week ending 8th June 2025

  • Test Driven Development exercises at work. Working on a kata to write tests for a WordPress shortcode
  • Dived back into React/NextJS after a bit of a hiatus
  • Added nostr npub to this website footer. Adapted from the component on satoshi-power. From this I can see why React and JSX exist. satoshi-power is a JS only app, built in vanilla JS. It was a pain having to build DOM nodes using `createElement` and other methods. JSX, you can markup your component much more intuitively.
  • Another typographical update to my style library, which I use for br-web.me and this site. Dropped the serif font for everything but body text in articles
  • Checked off and deployed v1.2 of this blog site
  • Played around with OpenAI Codex. Had it code up a feature to introduce tag archive pages
  • Ordered Elliot Jay Stocks book—Universal Principles of Typography
  • Wrote an article about my relationship with AI
  • Booked my flight to Prague for BTC Prague!
  • Enjoyed some nice early summer weather.
