I’ve most recently been tech director for a software agency and I'm now looking for something new. I enjoy problem solving and have experience across lots of different technologies and domains.

I’ve most recently been tech director for a software agency and have worked with loads of different technologies. I enjoy problem solving!

I’m looking for a flexible role but I don’t have a specific position in mind. I’d love to have a conversation if you’re looking for a capable developer and communicator!

I wasn't aware they had a Discord, so that's in addition to "real" support and community support forums? Seems like a crazy way to approach things.

Amazing. Good luck with the project, I’ll be giving it a test run soon!

I think Clerk looks great but it starts to get quite expensive if MFA is a requirement. Do you have 2FA/MFA in your roadmap?

EDIT:

I didn't have a `media` entry in my pages.yml, which meant the rich text editor wasn't loading (JS error was being thrown). When I added that entry, it started working! Brilliant work!

I'm using Jekyll, with yaml frontmatter, and it's not clear how to specify the body. The documentation says that a rich text field could be set up with a "name" option (and gives "body") as an example but my Markdown files don't specify a name for the body.. it's just... there:

I'm probably missing something but happy to open an issue if not.

I think (hope) they learned a lesson from this, as Remix is very good at not introducing breaking changes:

I'm less interested in immutable systems and more in pre-configured systems. NixOS with Home Manager is the one that stands out here, but the configuration is just awful. I want to be able to have my full config in source control and know that is the state of my current system, with anything else being wiped on reboot. Anything that's changed before reboot should be highlighted.

In my (limited) experience with something like Silverblue, the base system can be configured but when you start adding applications (like say, Firefox), it is lacking when it comes to configuring that because you're using Flatpak and I don't know of a way to tell it to both install all Flatpaks I want along with all of the configuration.

I guess there's some way of installing Flatpaks en masse and then dotfiles can take care of the rest?
