There’s a ton of great stuff in here. I have been working on a project that essentially supports “multiple brands”, and this is super cool to see! It’s given me some ideas for what direction I’d like to move toward. The “three-tiered token architecture” is something I have already been…
if you don’t understand when being asked to estimate, ask questions. The real value of estimating is a shared understanding, not the estimate itself.

This is a cool way to look at it. I still tend to think of story points as ranges of time (3 = half to a full day), but I should also try to think about how each number is complex relative to each other.

I have discovered chocolate hummus
I’m working on some reusable components to use with some new Gutenberg blocks and realized that I need to get some data from the server. I ended up learning how to set up a REST endpoint and accidentally learned redux (or at least WordPress’ version) to set up a data store.
I can’t believe it took me so long to try out Scourge. I didn’t think I would like the shades but they are fun and the barrier is so strong. They have the perfect cooldown to be consistently re-positioning them throughout any encounter. If I’m not in a group, I go full minions with the shades and become a true one-necro-army.
I am working on some twig stuff and needed a way to test out sharing components between projects, so I wanted to set up a quick PHP site that can use twig templates without messing with any frameworks or complicated server setups. It turns out that PHP already routes…
Cutting boards are the best plates:
After watching the excellent short film “The Backrooms”, I saw a comment where someone mentioned liminal spaces. I remembered hearing that term before, but had not ever looked into it. So I did some searching and found these great pieces on that term as well as the related “backrooms”:
The reason why we are fascinated with these images of vacant, abandoned, and eerie locations is that, for the most part, they represent the false promises of the modern era.
I think that might be same reason I have an interest in Vaporwave, the origins of which shared that idea of peeling back the veneer of the perfect portrayal of modern life that is so often promoted. As wide as Vaporwave is these days, some subgenres and offshoots do lean more towards trying to hold onto that comfortable view of the world rather than destroying it, which makes for a nice mix.
