There's a term in running called a "kick", which refers to the ability to sprint at the end of an endurance-oriented race. Often it leads to anger amongst other competitors, who felt it unfair that they had to lead in front the whole race only to be overtaken the last meters. Yesterday I was watching the final of...

I have an issue with the Sanity Content Lake. The Sanity Content Lake is where your content is stored and accessed. It runs in the cloud and is fully managed by us. What I read: your data is ours, and we control it. You want to keep the data in your own server you say? Not possible. Do people want it? Yes they do....

Sometimes the database keeps growing and you want to figure out which table(s) are causing the issue. It happens sometimes for me on Craft CMS projects. I then find it useful to be able to isolate the largest table(s) within the database to see where the issue is at. I've found the simplest solution being to run the...

Good question. I guess a natural follow up question is: Why did you start in the first place? My thoughts on it: "Writing to learn": I believe that writing is a great way to learn. It sorts floating thoughts somewhere. Sure, could be private notes. Could be a physical notepads. Could be voicenotes. But since I make...

My previous post is really not that old. I wrote it 13th of September 2023 so less than half a year ago. A fair bit has changed since then. Kirby launched Kirby 4 in December 2023, and Craft CMS just launched Craft CMS 5 march 2024. Sizes from original post September 2023 Kirby CMS (v3.9): 6.1 mb Wordpress (v6.3.1):...

I have many a time added node_modules and the likes to my git repositories. Tired of always googling it, I noted down this solution to cleaning up after. make .gitignore file (or update the one you have) add node_modules/ or what you want to get rid of line to the .gitignore file Run the following lines: git rm -r...

I've long been fascinated by the notecard systems of people like Ryan Holiday and Billy Oppenheimer, and no less fascinated by the quality of content they consistently share. My current system for collecting nuggets and wisdom I pick up in everyday life is a mess. I kind of use "likes" on twitter as a way to...

“Victory belongs to the most Tenacious” — a phrase that echoes across the clay courts of Paris each spring. Originally attributed to Napoleon and later adopted by aviation hero Roland Garros, this quote now adorns the stadium walls of the French Open. And it couldn’t be more fitting. Alternatively "Victory belongs...

Most years since my late teenage years I had the same simple new year’s resolution: Care less what others think of me. I still work on that same goal a decade (or two) later, but have luckily gotten a bit better along the way. I have also found a different perspective to it: decreasing FOLD (Fear Of Looking Dumb)....

What I really like about having a personal web page, is that it can be ground zero for testing out ideas. If something feels right, it'll likely carry over to other projects I work on. Time to drop Tailwind? This has been a thought I've been having a lot in mind recently. Its mainly come from a combination of focus...

The last month I've been diving into sustainable web design, and although I keep links in apple notes, bookmarks etc. I kind of like the idea of using the blog for long-term storage. As Chris Coyier calls it in his blog post: "the ultimate long-term link storage". Tools, manifesto and directories: Sustainable Web...

Some people in the Statamic community have commented that my previous tests were unfair (or rather; dumb and crap). Some arguments pointed towards 1: file size doesn’t matter, and 2: Statamic had «no caching and file watcher was on». I'm not out here to talk any system down, and only try to fairly make comparisons...
