Since I am migrating this site to Astro - which I am convinced is the best SSG out there right now - I was expecting to have the same advanced MDX authoring experience as in my previous website. Better even, maybe the challenges I was not able to solve before were meanwhile solved by the awesome folks out there.

But I know well, there will be 🐉 🐉 🐉 dragons!

Once I got my new website's information architecture up and running, and migrated most of the old content, I want to make the authoring experience as awesome as possible. 🤩 At least as good as it was on my previous sites.

Relaunching my website, again based on another Typescript SSG framework. 🚀 Not React-Static anymore, not even React "at all". Introducing the magnificent Astro. 🌔

This library is now powering ESLint, prettier, this website, ... and pretty much anything using MD(X). Which is a lot and is only going to grow in the future. I say: it's here to stay! ✊ And coming for your fridge.

Bonus: 💰 a priceless insight on why rolling out a design system can be challenging.

They said it couldn't be done, but we drove to France to take a look. In the end, F1 is not that great experience to see live. Unless you are interested in the beautiful decay of civilisation 😏 because all of this is obviously not sustainable.

I was like 11 when I first heard this album. It took me not long to memorize the lyrics, the jokes, the sound of everything in the intervals of the songs. This might be the origin story of my fixation with music, especially popular music, played live in front of an audience.

I have a bunch of "songs" 🎸 recorded at home, here in Barcelona, that I was hoping I could record better in the studio. But thats not happening soon because our world leaders suck, so I am just going to leave them here.
