I've been reading Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky and I built a mental image of the protagonist. For some reason, the image is that of someone who uses Reddit a lot.

Using htmx and AlpineJS with Copilot is amazing because those libraries are so tiny that it knows everything about them. I'm barely writing code thanks to this combination.

A while ago, I migrated my blog from Ghost to Astro. Easier to customize and host. But working with images is painful. I need to copy them manually to my project's directory, then insert them into posts using code. In Ghost, I would simply upload the image in the editor itself.

AlpineJS is quite cool because you can write JS in HTML attributes. It's like the Tailwind of Javascript.

I've been using HTMX and AlpineJS to build a new app and it feels "wrong". No TypeScript, no compilations, memory leaks, optimization, hooking into component lifecycles, npm packages that break semver, etc. It's way too easy. I got so used to complexity that simplicity doesn't feel good.
