My copy of The BEAM Book arrived 😀
It's chonkier than I imagined but fits nicely with my other desk references

PubSub's presence detection to the rescue!
I needed expensive background Oban jobs to snooze themselves when users are using the app.
It was shockingly easy to do with Tracker and a Plug.

Comic reader is coming together.
Added a FTP interface (+ JSON:API, GraphQL) in case a client didnt have HTTP ability.
Used ExFTP and was delighted at how easy it was (full disclosure: I was on the team that made ExFTP)
Can't wait to replace my current comic book reader with it.

sometimes programming is writing code, sometimes its looking at graphs.
Playing around with max_concurrency and oban queue limits.
A ton of intensive jobs are launched on a fresh db; but then rarely again, if ever.
Terrified of pegging the CPU with image processing.

oban_web is so nice to have, especially when your jobs launch more jobs.
These jobs are walking a massive nested directory with digital comic books scattered throughout. Organizing, extracting metadata, making previews, optimizing them all, etc etc.

Started working on a homepage as a portfolio.
I'm particularly proud of this curvy social media thing.

Played around with Tidewave with Claude.
I have 1000s of digital comic books. They're often filled with massive bloat. I wrote code that optimizes and streams the pages on the fly.
Nice to prototype with - claude's code was god awful. tw was super cool though.

added more implementation details to the README
TODO:
- document and test the *many* opt parameters
- finish OpenSSF scorecard recommendations
then this project is buttoned up and I can move on to what comes next.
