Very cool to see the combo of Leaflet for CMS / newsletter backend + custom rendering on dame's site…very atmospheric!
I'm blogging again!
Here's my 1st long-form post in months... it's about @attie.ai, @atproto.com, AI, & how they all relate. Took me a few weeks to write, so I'm late to the Attie discourse, but I think it's worth the wait.
You can sub to my new email newsletter too, powered by @leaflet.pub!

It’s so funny that SQLite is genuinely faster than most traditional filesystems.
I wish there were more experimental operating systems using dbs for the backend. Not many people playing around in this space...

Boss implored me to use AI to help with backend processes like sorting emails (not sure why I can't use the default inbox features for that but whatever).
I begrudgingly agreed. Tried to open Copilot
Windows: "THIS FEATURE IS NOT ACCESSIBLE TO YOU"
Me: Never have I been so relieved to be denied.

Unlike Anthropic, OpenAI kept Git. Its new backend, Pando, cut push latency nearly 5x and serves close to a petabyte of Git data a day.
