As usual, it's been another busy year, focused mostly of sustaining of my existing projects and setting a new record with almost 500 software releases. I've continued development of new, and adoption of some existing, tools and techniques to improve productivity and software quality. In addition, I joined the Pa11y team where work has ramped up again resulting in several needed, major releases.
It's been another busy year - I wrote a handful of blog posts on some long-researched automation topics, continued development of many old projects, started over a dozen new projects including my first Cloudflare Worker, and shipped over 450 software releases. This post reviews it all.
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.
