Week 2024-21 and 2024-22
A fortnight update this week, mainly because I’ve let my journalling habit slide a bit and haven’t been tracking what I’ve been up much lately.
The most notable event has been one of our team members leaving at work. Dylan Park joined us a fresh-faced frontend developer a couple of years ago and in that time has grown into a very capable engineer, and a pleasure to work with. He’s heading off for bigger and better things at The Lens and will be sorely missed.
His last day required a trip to the office and the traditional visit to Smokey Moo for a team lunch.
I’ve been playing about with Filament component framework for a potential project at work. I am equally impressed with the power and ease of use, as I am disappointed with how much I have taken my eye off the ball with advances in the TALL stack.
With that I have decided to double-down and focus on developing my TALL capabilities by leveraging it to accelerate a few personal projects. There will be more about this in a dedicated blog post.
I’ll be dogfooding this for my own more immediate needs - starting with this blog. Whilst there is absolutely nothing wrong with Statamic (I was even going to make that the focus of my focussed learning) I will be rebuilding this site on a custom CMS backed by TALL technologies.
