@jezlyn @PeterR I found one of these a couple years back and was sad to learn how the plastic had decomposed. Although nothing compared to the state of my Palm Foleo, which rotted into a giant piece of duct tape!

A wonderful and bittersweet day: Begin is joining Sanity (sanity.io): sanity.io/blog/welcoming-the-b

Our post: begin.com/blog/posts/2024-10-2

Feeling immense gratitude for the team we built, the customers that invested in building their apps and systems with the tools we created, the investors who supported us through thick and thin, and for the folks at Sanity with whom we'll journey onward. ๐Ÿ’•

@mathowie well, speed climbing specifically; they are not exactly well represented in lead or boulder

It is truly bizarre how wide the range of applications in the world of computing turn-it-off-and-turn-it-back-on-again has.

I'm reasonably convinced that if a necessary, world-changing AGI ever does run amok, the best solution will be to just reset its metaphorical router.

@mikeal @brianleroux totally!
Allowed: deprecating a project
Also allowed: letting folks know you'll be terminating maintenance so they can make plans
Also allowed: putting a call out to the community to find new maintainers who may want to take over the project
Also allowed: actually linking to the other "successful forked versions"
Not allowed: how they went about this ๐Ÿซ

@dch @brianleroux @macdonst absolutely. (Not that I will claim my code is "great", though. ๐Ÿ˜‚)

It also helps to have a clear and differentiated focus: aws-lite's is to be super fast Node.js + easy for devs to use (semantics, errors, docs). AWS's is types, browser compat, etc.
