I just realized that this perfect quote from the end of The Great Gatsby describes BFFs Elon Musk and He Who Shall Not Be Named, perfectly.

They were careless people [...] —they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made…

Jamstack: The Future of Fast, Secure, and Scalable Web Development

One of the latest trends in web development is the rise of Jamstack architecture, which focuses on decoupling the front-end and back-end for faster performance, enhanced security, and better scalability. Jamstack leverages static site generators, APIs, and modern JavaScript frameworks like Next.js and Gatsby.

A two part thread, including a quiz!. Trying to decide which dress to make.

All of these dresses are from 1931 or 1932. The silk chiffon will be light and airy counter point to the silk crepe. So I can either have a bit a structure to contrast the light chiffon against the crepe's weight if I want. Or I can go with chiffon as being the dominate fabric and the crepe as a slip.

Will change or design my own sleeves for number 4 or 5.

Including an image of the fabric for reference.

Whereas Proust luxuriates in the slow accretion of human experience, McEwan homes in on the singular event... Well, I am old enough now to observe peers in their middle years, including some disappointed and hurt ones. I suggest it is McEwan who gets life right. The surprise of middle age, and the terror of it, is how much of a person’s fate can boil down to one misjudgement.

On my last Saturday in #Sydney, I went to see a show at the Opera House: "#Gatsby at the green light".

It was an enjoyable enough variety/acrobatics show with great performance and good music. Tickets were 70€, and while I payed for the "Once in a Lifetime" experience, i would not come for more.

Watching an actual play would have been nicer, but also too expensive. So I'm pretty happy with this
