Lots of companies rely on Microsoft Word for internal documentation and training, but code snippets are a readability nightmare. They don't have to be; with some reusable formatting, we can make clear code blocks in any version of Word.

Migrating assets to a new CMS can be a complete pain, but working out which files go with each page or article on a website doesn't have to be a nightmare if you start with a solid foundation. For me, that means tightly coupling my folder structure on the server with my content structure on the website, a workflow that Craft is particularly nifty at automating.

Notes from the fully remote React Summit 2020 (or at least the talks I tuned in for). Lots covered, from static-site generators and the Jamstack through to React state management and accessibility. What a fun day!

In which I start off asking a simple question: what content categories should I use on this website? Four hours later, I've discoverd information gardening, now pages, digital-me libraries, and oh so much more. And yes, I think I've answered that first question. Fancy a trip down the rabbit hole?

Well, it only took about a week of dazed puzzling, data tables, and tearing my hair out in clumps, but I think I may finally have a rough content taxonomy for theAdhocracy. A rough first version, that is. Let me explain...

An exhaustive guide to image optimisation, compression, formats, and quality on the …

Another month, another big and fully remote JavaScript conference. JSNation fit into my schedule a little less (and didn't quite overlap with my interests as neatly) but it was a fun event with some interesting talks on topics that are often only on my periphery. Much to think about!

The combination of the Carbon design system and NextJS should make for rapid website development, but I ran into a few small hurdles getting them to play nicely with one another using existing documentation and community guidelines.

A look at how I've been using Git aliases to remove repetitive tasks, automate workflows, and generally optimise working on the command line. They're small tips, but they've had a big impact on me.

A look at the largely manual workflow I've used to convert my physical music collection into a digital data archive.

Understanding why non-interactive Storybook components are often announced as clickable by NVDA and other screenreaders.

A quick (and dirty) way to fetch local data from a JSON file and modify the look of a page in Astro, completely natively.

Migrating content between fields in Craft is not as simple as it might be. In the wake of Craft 5, I've been getting a lot of practice, and wanted to write up some of the techniques I've been using.

Somehow, I've been writing these little blurbs for an entire decade now. What better time to take a look back at how this site has evolved.

To better mark a decade of theAdhocracy being online, I've secretly been chipping away at a whole bunch of additional features, bug fixes, and general improvements.
