A lot has happened in the last year - the resurgence of this blog, I created six
new software projects, and I shipped almost 200 software releases. In addition,
I learned Go, started publishing NPM packages with provenance, and generative AI
and large language models took over the world. This post reviews it all.
It's been well over a decade since I kept a blog here. That's a lifetime or two
in software development, but I've missed writing and decided it's time to bring
it back. So, this is the kick-off to incentivize me to write more. And it never
hurts to have another new project to work on, and something with more web
front-end work, that is developing a site with
Eleventy, hosted on GitLab pages, optimizing the use of
GitLab's tooling, and extensive use of automation with GitLab CI.
