Watching a neighbor kid walk to school. The same school that opened two days ago, and reported a COVID case yesterday.

Godspeed, kid.

In my ongoing quest to streamline workflow dependencies for my blog, I have added a Node.js script. So that’s Hugo, Python, Perl, Raku, Ruby, a Justfile tying it all together, and a Node.js script.

Clearly I have my own very special definition of “streamline.”

I might have gotten “stream” confused with “firehose.”

I got rid of that one bash script though, so: victory!

I am the sort of person who randomly talks to friends about software package managers, and maybe you might not want to be reminding me of that fact right after I can’t find something using your package manager.
