I recently had a complete a server migration for PAWS New England, the animal rescue we’ve adopted our last few dogs from. I’ve been working with them for at least 15 years now, and the server we were using was running an aging version of Ubuntu. It was time. Normally, I dread server migrations. With static websites and flat-file storage like my personal sites, they’re not that bad. But PAWS architecture has a mix of a static site generator and two self-hosted WordPress installs (a suboptimal setup that happened organically over time).

Content warning: this article includes mentions of addition and mental health struggles. Back in January, I wrote a bit about the unhoused friends I made while handing out tents and sleeping bags before a big storm that was coming to my state. Three weeks ago, I got a text message from one of them that cops had raided their camp and taken everything they didn’t have on their backs.
I’ve hated writing JavaScript tests for pretty my whole career. That thing where you plan a component, write some code, iterate it a whole bunch until it works the way you want… and then write tests that validate that the thing you’ve already validated does in fact do the thing you already know it does? Yea, that sucks. It’s also not what good testing looks like. Today, I write my tests first, and then write my code.
