- Perceptions of degrowth in the European Parliament
- Looks good. Only skimmed it, but they mention ecosocialism as one of the positions held.
- Today at work I:
- Did the daily inbox trawl.
- A lot of the emails are automatic alerts that take up a lot of my time checking. I kind of need to see them though.
- I wonder if there's a way of flipping it so I only see them if something has gone wrong.
- The trouble then, though, is you don't realise if the alert itself has stopped sending.
- Responded to questions from the team on Slack.
- Schedule tasks/actions in as a result.
- Either as 'unplanned' work for the day if it needed doing today.
- Or for a future date if not urgent.
- Quickly added a cache around a slow endpoint.
- It was (a) meaning some automatic tests were very slow to run.
- (b) possibly crashing the app when the tests were running.
- I patched it quickly in on live (naughty, but needed) and now need to properly add it into the repo.
- Tested app-to-app connection between app and WP site API as part of migration tests.
- I always app-to-app connections and APIs. Prefer them to user interfaces :D
- Attended team meeting.
- Did some layout/content tweaks to our main website.
- Fiddling around with CSS and layout is not top on my list of fun things to do. Always takes longer than you expect.
- Some yak shaving to be done based on npm install failing. Haven't got the time to shave that yak right now.
- Do some quick estimates of how long potential pieces of work should take.
- Cross-posted a social post on Mastodon.
- Kicked off a new sprint in Jira (late, as I was off on leave when it technically started).
- Did the daily inbox trawl.
