Hi đź‘‹ I'm Rowan Manning, a Senior Engineer at the Financial Times. I used to maintain Pa11y and write about web development, nowadays I mostly alternate between playing D&D or Minecraft.
A week of meal prep, excellent dhal, frozen paratha, feeling better, doing very little, playing more Factorio, and nothing weekends. Read Week 316: Freezer Paratha.
A week of horrible sicknesses, being bedridden, starting Factorio, deconstructing showers, long walks along the valley, country pubs, big bonfires, and a drive back to London. Read Week 315: Bonfire.
A week of good news, lovely catch ups, Halloween-themed quizzes, drinks, driving up to Matlock, autumnal walks, and getting sick. Read Week 314: Round Robin.
A year ago we outlined some changes to the way we support FT.com. As well as giving an excellent overview of what our OpsCop team did, we set out some broad changes that we intended to make. Read about how FT.com support has changed over the year.
An explanation of how I halved my website's build/deploy process using a mix of actions optimisations and the new GitHub Pages Custom Actions beta. Read about the optimisations.
