Posts tagged meta are self-referential in nature, such as articles where I talk about the blog/site itself.

On the left side of the image, there are two adjacent pairs of large blue tubes, aligned vertically, and running from the left to the center of the image, featuring a convex-fairing, and a grate over their respective openings. In the background we can see more large blue tubes, curving left and right, with steel cages and catwalks adjacent to them. On the right side of the image, there are six large green tubes, placed vertically, and spaced tightly together, running from top to bottom of the image.

An Adventure in Deploying Next.js Apps with Bun, Turborepo, and SST from a CI

Since I finally managed to break the CI/CD pipeline for this site, I've been thinking a lot about that infamous quote from the Senator for Alaska. Not for its accuracy (or lack thereof), but because in this one instance, I did, in fact, break (or jam) a critical tube that gets this site out to the internet. Though, I should admit that's not what took this site offline for 4 hours (we'll get to that part soon)... READ_MORE =>

A parody, that features a main character, with a bun for a head and a blindfold featuring MDX across it.

However, I’ve since come back to my senses to realize that the best solution is the one with the smallest number of compromises, hand crafted be damned... READ_MORE =>

Bonus thoughts on React Three Fiber, & Zustand too

This article was a long time coming, it's also quite long. In some respects, this might feel like an article created from a few separate articles I stitched together, and perhaps it is. However, I felt it was important to talk about the primary technologies I used in developing/deploying this site, because they're all pretty tightly integrated... READ_MORE =>

There's many like it, but this one is mine

Hello internet, my name is Lani, and welcome to the official launch of laniakita.com 🎉, my over-engineered (oops 🤗) website and blog. This is where I’ll be showcasing some of my work, as well as my thoughts on developing sites/apps for the modern web (& more, probably)... READ_MORE =>
