A long time ago— like 15 years ago— I worked at Sun Microsystems. The company was nearly dead at the time (it died a couple years later) because they didn’t make anything that anyone wanted to buy anymore. So they had a lot of strange ideas about how they’d make their comeback.

I’m making VR games, for a living, right now. That’s another tech that might turn out to be a white elephant nobody wants. The approach I’m taking, with my current game and the one I want to make after it, is *don’t make a game for VR unless that game could ONLY exist in VR*.

LOL totally forgot the repo was private. Now it is public so you can read all about it.

I played around with GitHub actions over the weekend and documented a simple example for deploying changes via SSH when changes are pushed up. Now I don’t have to manually SSH into a server, change directories, and run “git pull” myself.

I updated to WordPress 5.3 and appreciate the refined admin styles. Good stuff y’all!

WordPress 5.3 “Kirk” is available for download! With over 150 new enhancements, Kirk is more intuitive than previous releases, focuses on accessibility, and includes a fresh new default theme. wordpress.org/news/2019/11/kirk/ t.co/UfQJObA12D

Seeing how many sites are using React but then failing time-to-interactive metrics is making my soul shrivel up.

They are throwing away SEO and user experience for… why?!…
