I wasn't happy with 8 different themes on my website, so there's now a 9th one, which lets you customise the main settings. It's driven by about a dozen #CSS custom properties (I love theming in CSS holy heck…I should write about it). It was a good… distraction, to build this.

Anyway, maybe you want some "Matrix" or bubble gum style instead of my painstakingly and lovingly crafted themes? That's fine, express yourself everywhere! Even on my personal website!

I refactored my personal website on @11ty from #Nunjucks to #Vento, and I have some tips for you if you want to do the same. It's like a guide but like… less structured and more pun-riddled. Check it out: https://chriskirknielsen.com/blog/from-nunjucks-to-vento-in-eleventy-migration-guide/

put some thoughts together on the LLM trend and its implications for labor rights. there's a lot to be said about the lofty claims of pro-LLM technologists, but this presumes their promises of efficiency, etc. are true.

Back when I was finding my feet in tech everybody was buzzing about building positive change. Somewhere along the way, something changed. Fortunately for us though, tech is not the first industry forced to defend itself against dubious practices.

What might we learn if we were to look elsewhere?
