There is no automated build and no test suite. #automation #hypstatic

Dependency management in Python makes me sad. #fail #python #hypstatic

I've lost my ability to develop locally since I don't want to install VirtualBox on my new laptop. #fail #hypstatic

I run an outdated version of Django. #django #fail #hypstatic

The terraform config for this project is on 0.12 and I have no desire to update it to 0.13. #fail #terraform #automation #hypstatic

I will miss the ease of adding lifestream posts via the Django admin UI, but given that I'm posting elsewhere these days, I don't think I'll miss it too much #hypstatic

Remaining pieces are implementing hashtag browsing pages and the date archive browsing pages #hypstatic

Most of my updates these days are either in the Artichoke Discord or @artichokeruby Twitter #hypstatic

The AWS infra that the current site runs on is $50 a month I do not need to spend. #aws #cost #hypstatic

I've had a work in progress fork of hyperbola to migrate to a static site hosted on GitHub pages for over 6 months. I can't find the time to finish it. #hypstatic

More #artichoke updates since March: a marketing site at www.artichokeruby.org, prebuilt containers on Docker Hub https://hub.docker.com/r/artichokeruby/artichoke, and prebuilt nightlies https://github.com/artichoke/nightly/releases/latest #win

Also Windows Terminal and the Cascadia Code font were a dream to use. I replaced Inconsolata with Cascadia Code on my Mac iTerm2 #terminal #font #windows #win

#vscode and LLDB in VSCode were SO amazing to use. Within a couple of iterations, I was able to track down the use-after-free: https://github.com/artichoke/artichoke/pull/674 #fail #win #artichoke

After repeated attempts of replicating my windows CI setup in a developer VM, I sloppily installed software via web installers. With every VS component, rustup, RubyInstaller, LLVM, choco, and winflexbison, I was running with a reproducer #artichoke

Once GH-670 was merged, I had a segfault that only (and reliably) reproduced on one test in Windows #artichoke #rust #windows

After 50 PRs, I was able to put GH-442 to bed and remove the Rc wrapper from the Artichoke state https://github.com/artichoke/artichoke/pull/670 #win This refactor took 4 months #fail #rust #artichoke

Nightly builds of Artichoke are available via ruby-build: rbenv install artichoke-dev #artichoke #win

The one dynamic bit I cannot truly replicate is shortlinks but I never used this feature #win

No more security updates, terraform, autoscaling group rolling deploys, packer and baking AMIs, Ansible deprecation warnings, RDS outages #win I can unsubscribe from nginx release notes listsrv lol

Big wins from switching to static: modifying content with a lightweight dev server, CI via GitHub Actions, automated deploys, better webpack integration and minification, site is free as in beer to operate #win
