Hi đź‘‹ I'm Rowan Manning, a Senior Engineer at the Financial Times. I used to maintain Pa11y and write about web development, nowadays I mostly alternate between playing D&D or Minecraft.
A week of fun D&D sessions, sad family news, long weekends with friends, driving, house clearances, final viewings, tea rooms, wine bars, country walks, and roller coasters. Read Week 286: Cruise Control.
A week of outside laundry, several new board games, meeting some pets, Brazilian food, meeting a toddler, relearning how to build games, a completion date. Read Week 285: Air-Dried.
A week of less work, saving a bunch of money, getting obsessed with Slay the Spire, nice after-work drinks, long weekends, shows in Brighton, coastal walks, tiny little lambs, and setting dates. Read Week 284: Slay the Spire.

An explanation of how I halved my website's build/deploy process using a mix of actions optimisations and the new GitHub Pages Custom Actions beta. Read about the optimisations.
