  • Snippet Pixie: Next – Makefile for sr.ht hosted SvelteKit static site | Always Developing #222

    In this session I fix up the deployment to SourceHut Pages of a simple static site created with SvelteKit that will eventually become the new main website for Snippet Pixie.

    I create a Makefile for building the SvelteKit based site, fix up the repo’s main Makefile so that it generates a tgz file for the site, and then update the .build.yml to deploy to SourceHut Pages using the hut CLI.

    Before starting every work day, I do half an hour or so of noodling on side projects, making sure to keep them moving forward, albeit slowly.

    Working on these side projects is how I learn new programming languages, frameworks and technologies.

    Chances are I’ll fail miserably each and every day, so at the very least you can take comfort in seeing a so-called senior developer fumbling through some development with little success.

  • Today is my last day working for both Delicious Brains and my own consultancy company, Byte Pixie.

    Because on Monday I'm officially a full-time employee of WP Engine, continuing to work on WP Offload Media! 🎉
