Blogged about a new CLI tool I've started hacking on.

What I think is neat is that I use `bun build --compile ...` to generate a single executable instead of relying on something like `bunx` or `pipx`.
Been a good start to the month!

5x more requests-per-second improvement with this one single trick. Actually.
Maybe a fun experiment, would be to try to load ffmpeg in Wasm and see what can be done.
I made an app!

It’s simple but useful. Wanted to explore what can be done with video files without sending them to a server.
I’m going to try a new IDE/editor.
What would you recommend? Zed or Cursor?
I loved Zed when it came out but downfall was that I couldn’t add custom completion macros.
This is what I use to have GitHub Dependabot make package updates for Bun projects:
```
version: 2
enable-beta-ecosystems: true
updates:
- package-ecosystem: "npm"
directory: "/"
schedule:
interval: "monthly"
```
`links` is my favorite tool for testing if web pages work without CSS or JS.

One of the most educative podcast episodes out there on US tax policy.

It's like Google Docs but all Open Source and backed by the French and German government.
Skimmed the code; it's Python/Django on the backend and React on the frontend.
I hope this becomes successful!
I sent this seconds before I noticed a bug in how it updates `uv.lock`. Actively chatting with the people behind this but a fix might have to wait a bit.
Happy to pass along issues/bugs you might find.
For fellow `uv` fans,

You'll need to update your `.github/dependabot.yml` like this

It now compares your (best) times with the median number of seconds people take.
Need more plays though! So the medians start to make sense :)
Less well. The “training data” is a massive list of English food words.

I recently rewrote my personal website/blog from Remix to React Router v7.
It was moderately easy and fun. But now I'm dreading the hard work of writing a retrospective blog post about it.
At the time of actual coding, it felt like an engineering feat. Now it feels more like a chore to write up.
