In the last 6 months of using Astro in SSR mode, I have learned a lot about HTML streaming and how it breaks the expectations I had for full-stack apps, coming from Phoenix/Ruby on Rails.

I have written down a short blog post about it so you can learn from my mistakes instead of repeating them 🚀

I am once again faced with the bleak irony of people who install onto their computer some 5 or 10 apps via FlatPak or Docker, including VSCode, each installed with their own entire copies of Node.js and Electron.js (differing only in their minor revision number), while also complaining about Emacs being “bloated” because it ships with a miniature web browser and fully-featured e-mail client.

I've been writing a new personal site from scratch. It's been a while since I've done a site design entirely by hand, without any frameworks to lean on.

It's been a lot of fun, and I've been honing my html5 and css3 skills - trying to do everything the *right* way. Making use of some of the more esoteric CSS properties I'd never bothered with before (like margin-inline or padding-block) .

I've made all the graphics myself using #svg (thanks #inkscape!).

I'm focusing on having a *microscopic* footprint, with minimum connections (one markup, one stylesheet).

This week, my employer (Lullabot), laid off 20 of the most brilliant, talented and amazing human beings I have ever met (though I was not one of them, and you better believe the survivors guilt is rough).

If you or your company are looking for a #frontend, #backend, or general #webdev developer within the #drupal community (or outside of it), please message/reply so I can make a connection!

If you care about #webdev and #optimization for the modern #web then check out my website: heavyelement.com/

The web framework I wrote:

* Generates main content of each page dynamically (with sub 100ms response times)
* Delivers ~1mb of JS, still is incredibly fast
* Delivers ~500kb of CSS without significant render blocking
* Provides a custom frontend framework that enables developers to provide dynamic async functionality by writing mostly HTML
* Tight front/backend integration
