I've been working on migrating my personal site from Gridsome to Astro.
It's been an excellent way to gauge how Claude Code works with big problems and MCPs. I'm on my 4th or 5th iteration of the migration, and it's 98% where I want it.

Our "VIP" ticket for Hampton Roads DevFest is way more popular than I would've thought. $100 ticket compared to a $35/$50.
We launched it because we wanted to give a little extra to our biggest fans.
And it's helping a ton.
