Got new glasses today. The world is so much clearer.

Got the worlds most disappointing email early this morning.

The day didn’t improve after that.

I love when I have to decide between having health care and others having health care but having mine banned.

I’ve spent 36 minutes on the computer this weekend and that break feels *great*.

Decluttering today. Several bags of trash and five boxes to donate at the free yard “sale” next Sunday. Giving it to people who need it more than me.

Spent the morning updating WordPress websites because 6.9 came out Tuesday.

That was a chore.

Treating an entire group based on the horrific actions of one member may be a time-worn political strategy, but it’s craven and lacks a moral compass.

Building an EKS cluster. As one does on a major holiday.

I am preparing the turkey brine. Thanksgiving cooking has begun!

New post: Microservices may be dangerous for your team https://www.sarah-savage.com/microservices-may-be-dangerous-for-your-team/

I just spent 45 minutes writing a document in Craft that outlines the features of a tool I need to build. I typed it out on my phone, too.

One wrong button and the whole thing is gone.

Pissed doesn’t begin to describe my mood…

Reddit is terribly broken on iPhone ever since they updated it with the new logo about three days ago. Anyone else experiencing this?

Medical update: while the doctors still think there’s a possibility of malignancy in the mass on my kidney, they’re being patient. Renal function scan came back good, and they’re taking a “wait-and-see” approach.

Even if the mass is malignant, it’s the kind that doesn’t kill you. If they eventually remove it, that step would be curative.

…did I miss the release of PHP 8.5 today?

Well, I'm in it now.

Another day, another CloudFlare outage.

I use big companies like Fastly and AWS for my clients, but I try to avoid the most error-prone regions or services that have the greatest complications if they struggle.

I'm sure I'll experience an outage for my clients someday, but that day was not today.

Today I learned that”TOON” is apparently a thing.

Don’t google it. It’s AI bullshit. I googled it for you. You’re welcome.

New post: Coding tests as an interview smell https://www.sarah-savage.com/coding-tests-as-an-interview-smell/

Taught myself Bake over the weekend. Saved me having to write a script to build variations of my WordPress images.
