If you write any kind of data processing code in javascript and haven’t heard of Fast Check do yourself a favour and go learn it. Even just sampling values by composing arbitraries can provide insight.

Quick-Check style libraries like this should be first-class in all language ecosystems. Put em straight in std libs! it could only result in higher quality software.

Cloudflare Pages has been a strong option for hosting static sites for a while now but the announcements this week really up the game for full stack apps.

• Bindings to D1 (open alpha)
• Secret Support
• Logs
• Upcoming support for Queues & Workers Analytics Engine

It feels like the right time for more ambitious projects and experiments on CFP.

Here’s an interesting architecture for a reporting site.

1. Incremental ETL script that updates a local DuckDB file
2. A static Astro site where templates can directly leverage DuckDB’s rich analytical queries
3. The built site is published to Cloudflare Pages (or similar)

The steps above run on a schedule in github actions. The DB file is cached and restored on every run (but can be rebuilt if lost).

I should be able to include tweets in notes like this

I should be able to post extra small thoughts. Not everything has to be an article right?
