We had trouble with our publishing process to npmjs.com b/c of the elevated security principles GitHub enforced (which is a good thing!).
This is fixed now, and v3.0.7 is live.
The publishing process now uses the most secure OIDC-based "trusted publishing", including provenance.
Happy testing!

Just enjoyed @scalzi.com 's "3 Days, 9 Months, 27 Years" - a short story in the time travel sci-fi genre. Thought provoking with a nice surprise at the end. Also, the bifurcating realities remind me of how skip drives work (see Scalzi's Old Man's War).

Listened to a podcast episode on "The Unix Philosophy" music.youtube.com/podcast/Rl6R... on this morning's run. AI generated narration but rather well done (except for the unfortunate pronunciation of "systemd" :-)). Worth a listen for a reminder of the beauty of the #Unix design axioms.

Modules, modularity & reuse in CDS models - part 1 - an introduction
In this first post of a new series I look at the using directive in CDS modelling, and how NPM modules can be fundamental building blocks in modularity and reuse.

Inspired by @author-calnewport.bsky.social (music.youtube.com/watch?v=hHFp... - highly recommended!) I've formed my own version of "do less", which is "do the right things, and do things right". So I'll be very positively saying "no" to things in 2026.

I'm reviewing a load of documents with my editor hat on, and once again I'm reminded how awful Title Case is, and how much extra pain and unnecessary effort it generates when wielded as a standard to which an organisation must adhere.
To those continuing to advocate for Title Case:
Shame On You :)
