Just been shown this by a colleague - it's a great way to learn shortcuts for the thing you just did and how you can do that task with a handy keystroke in the future!

Blogcop: A GitHub app that helps you manage your Jekyll blog

An interesting idea, but surely you'd not want to break existing links to your articles, and instead have it update the article to say "this may be outdated, we're reviewing this"?

Ruby Literals You May Not Know

Some interesting ones in here I'll look at using - escaping things is one of my biggest gripes with every language, so this is pretty nice

From me it's a no - I see why some people want it, but would rather prefer they stay out of the already limited space in the commit message title, and there's a level of arguable subjectivity of what an emoji means especially as different teams, projects and cultures have views on it.

But then again, so does written language, but I feel that is at least more known?

I've received my data from Spotify! Once I'm home and have had dinner, I'll get hacking on it to see what they've got for me and whether I can reproduce my Spotify Wrapped myself, for historic years, too!

It’s Time to Get Personal

This is a great read about the things that being in the https://indieweb.org/ (Independent Web) can empower you with, and the ownership and agency that it affords you.

I'd recommend a read of https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/07/22/why-website/ and https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/10/20/indieweb-talk/ for a bit more info, too.

Wat

This is a brilliant talk about the quirks of JavaScript, from a number of years ago.

Although it's fun to hate on JavaScript, it can also be seen about other languages.

Definitely worth a watch if you've never seen it before, or are working with JavaScript and want to have to think very hard about what the language does.

Not really sure what the issue was, may be that php.microformats.io has been returning a bit slower than expected. But either way there's now webmention sending after a reboot of my post-deploy service 👍🏽
