i've challenged myself to try learning something new, and this time around i'm learning [astro](https://astro.build). however, i don't have a current project to build with it so i'm learning first by reading the documentation thoroughly. and... i gotta, i'm already in love. here's a bit about what i'm reading that has be convinced.
have you ever catastrophically lost files, and needed to recover them? i've personally had a lot of bad luck with this scenario... too many times. however this time around i learned a lot.
i've been bothered by the direction the React framework has been trending, and i wanted to write down this reaction of mine.
been playing with gen ai tools, such as Claude and Windsurf. i've had a decent amount of success with this model and i finally came up with something i would like to make with it - a spline scene that you can interact with.
i find that many devs feel they need to align absolutely with Tailwind, or BEM, or [insert design system here] ideologies. i really think this is a misundestanding of how to use all the tools in a frontend dev's toolbox. this leads me to this thesis: Tailwind is not at odds with semantic class naming.
i've went on a reading spree while on vacation last week, diving into stories that have been so unexpectedly interesting, emtionally charged, and have left me thinking.
its been 2 years since i've had to make updates and i was reflecting on what i got out of it.
