What was your win this week??

I tried migrating a somewhat complex WordPress site to Astro. Here’s what I learned: porting the structure (posts, custom post types, custom fields, etc.) is neither complicated nor time-consuming—however, recreating the UI exactly from scratch is a major challenge.

Managed to cook up another article and video for a DEV challenge just before my flight. Barely made it in time, but totally worth it!

Oh by the way, I just surpassed 10K followers. Thanks every one of you who’s subscribed to my average content (at best) 😄

Her AI Studio was accepted into Google for Nonprofits, and let me tell you that was a STRUGGLE! So I'm happy about it as now we can provision emails.

Finally liberated from the old company (read: laid off). Giving myself a few days off.🤣🤣🤣
