Compost pile

I've struggled against Reverse Chronological Order, but I've still found myself replicating it in my collection of previously published blog posts and even a new TIL section I created just for this site. Why, why must we repeat the mistakes of the past?

In the meantime, I've felt handcuffed from adding new content to this Garden. While I thought I would be writing a bunch of evergreen posts, I ended up being shackled by the fact that when I had an idea of something to write about, I couldn't think of anywhere to link it from! So I had all these ideas for garden "nodes", but no "place in the garden" for them.

For this reason, I've created this "Compost pile". Maybe compost is a bad word, because it implies decay. On the other hand, it also implies new growth. The idea is to stick a bunch of random thoughts here, as a place to link my new nodes from. If they eventually grow into something greater, than I can hopefully "plant" them somewhere else in the garden. If not...well at least they're not in Reverse Chronological Order.

I'm surprised by how many people who I consider "open source advocates" and "free software crusaders" are still comfortable using Github.

Speaking of GitHub, I've been fighting with Codecov for months (but may have finally won!).

On my quest for comments I learned a bit about ActivityPub.

Trying to organize my thoughts on genres and how they affect my music practice.
