Ah cool. Did you go into a store?

Funny story: I can't get an Apple ID.

I tried around 10 years ago, repeatedly would provide a password, get a notification, click on it, get asked to type my new password.. and get told the password was invalid.

Anyways, I moved on with my life. I was only reminded of it this year when I got referred for a job at Apple.. and guess what, I still can't make an Apple ID. So now I can't ever get a job at Apple :) Oh well, first world problems.

Looking forward to the post mortem on this one. We weren't affected (just using the CDN), and people are saying they weren't affected who are using Cloudflare Workers (a previous culprit which we've since moved off), so I wonder what service / API was actually affected that brought down multiple websites with a 500 but not all of them.

Wise was just down which is a pretty big one.

Also odd how some websites were down this time that previously weren't down with the global outage in November

HTMX is neither a meme nor is it anti-javascript, it is literally written in js.

It does not aim to remove js from your code, it simply adds more features to HTML by default, like making any element able to trigger an web request.

When you write a real world app with HTMX, you inevitably end up writing some js, which is totally fine.

Nor is it "local first". It works by remotely pushing HTML into the DOM. It's really a form of push technology.

What worked best for me is to turn my user's home dir into a Git repository. My .gitignore contains this:

*

And if I need to add something, I just "git add -f ...". Works surprisingly well. Combines well with git-secret for things like SSH keys, certificates and API keys.
