Taking a year off from Pixelfed to build a brand new fediverse platform from scratch, using modern libraries and packages was exactly what I needed. I was so stuck in my stubborn ways (bootstrap, not writing tests, etc), and then I discovered Nuxt, Tailwind and phpstan Now I've learned new languages, polished my design skills and learned a few redis features that have elevated my abilities, I feel unstoppable! I'm focused on making our social web better, safer and ready for the next billion 🚀
