🌳 Parklife inter-build caching update: first run fetching 75 pages in 12.1 seconds, second run (no changes) in 1.3 seconds - and actually I’m guessing much of that is Rails boot time
Upstairs on a train in France, so good 🚅🇫🇷
🌳 Parklife’s inter-build caching is slowly taking shape, it uses HTTP caching which means it’s completely framework-independent and lets you use the knowledge you already have
Turning an old Rails site of mine into a static Parklife build, a small fraction of its content changes a couple of times a month so it’s pretty much static anyway. 6188 pages took 295 seconds to build which I want to improve in 2026
it's my birthday today, it's also international pickle day. coincidence? 🥒
I started writing a little parser using StringScanner but it felt messy and ad-hoc. I finally tried Parslet despite slight misgivings about its lack of recent development and let me tell you I am not disappoint, Parslet is grrreat 🐯
