Just another 500 years to go. I missed the beginning, probably will miss that last milestone as well.

Thanks! I was starting to feel alone with that.

Not sure what others have been reading so far, but this article already smells so human, I couldn't imagine anyone mistaken it for LLM output (especially since it is about LLMs and how they fail to work for some of us).

Funnily enough I also consulted three models across different vendors, and all came to the same conclusion (it's very human and very unlikely LLM produced). And yes, I let them all cross reference with older posts which are all pre-LLM era. Takes less than 5 minutes to do so.

The "Idiosyncratic rater bias" is a bit confusing to me, since it starts already with Bob being an EM, and to counter it is suggested to write from the manager's perspective. So what are managers supposed to do when they are falling for this bias like Bob did? Was either the example or the solution different initially? Maybe it's just the phrasing. (Hey, EM-Bob, try to write like a manager … — Erm, I am one. Duh.)

I think I should just remove the poster, it was initially replacing the GIF, which was megabytes in size. Given that the sizes of the WebP and WebM animations are pretty close I can live without it; all major browsers support both formats anyway.

I cannot help with the caching fun here, quick tested in both Chrome and Firefox. There's probably something strange in the video tag, either by design or by implementation.

Perl … haven't seen that old friend for a very long time.

Also zola, hugo, and other pretty light weight generators are quite okay. I'm using zola which runs nicely on Win/Mac/Linux. All you need to get started is some theme/template and your blog posts in Markdown. Then enrich it with whatever floats your boat.

Thank you for the tip/link. Seems to be an appropriate solution, just have to fiddle with my build process for a bit.

I decided to have no (client side) tracking at all, for both usually it requires JS and cookies. And honestly I don't like to have both on my site if not strictly necessary (as a European citizen I'm also quite aware of all the shenanigans one has to do wrt privacy and consent).

Thank you for the detailed response. Interesting links I will work through over time.

If you're in control of the environment, you might want to consider the yak shaving road and build a node package with a C, C++ or Rust library then. ;-)
