One of the most interesting parts was having this benchmark setup available over the last couple of months. It has made each new release something fun I can spend my night tokens on. The newest models really show the consistency I hadn't seen until Fable 5.1 and Astra 6.
Around to answer any questions or hear any feedback on the visualizations.

Working on a rogue-like discord activity game (soon to be multiplayer) that connects to Cloudflare durable object web sockets.
It takes my favorite elements from games like: WoW character min-max design and rotation Diablo 2/POE for item and crafting inspiration Slay the spire dungeon flow/fights.
It is uses pixel art I commissioned a decade ago that I am looking to finish a game with.
Looking for some early feedback! https://crux.lakin.dev/

Excellent content Josh! Something about being able to adjust knobs makes me enjoy diving deep into a subject. I am excited for more of your course/posts.

I am glad to hear that exercise and diet works well for you, but there are some of us that aren't so lucky. I have been through four different rheumatologists, and plenty of non-drug related therapy attempts. I even consider myself lucky that Humira has been so helpful.

I also have AS and started with NSAIDs, and would advise you be very careful with your stomach. I was taking indomethacin that made the stiffness slightly manageable but acid reflux symptoms became a serious issue. After switching to Humira I have no more active pain or stiffness, with only some minor uveitis (in an eye that has many other issues). I wish someone would warned me earlier because my stomach has never been the same. Unable to even drink tea at the moment because of my reflux issues. Also to note, I have had zero issues with my immune system and I have been using it for about 5 years and through 3 eye surgeries.

I think the switch to an async back-end can be more initial work than many expect. It may take some time to feel as productive, but promises become powerful and became a game changer for me over my previous work with callbacks. Error handling also becomes manageable.
What I really enjoy is jumping into new community and getting to work with tools that have built. Choosing the right ones can make or break an experience. I personally enjoyed working with Express and Bookshelf.js/Knex.
I appreciate the authors perspective, but I also don't think this should deter anyone from trying out Node. I personally have no overwhelming preference to using a Python or Javascript stack.

Thanks for the nice demonstration. Looks like the speed test is running of a very random source image that might not be yours. If it isn't, you might want to look at hosting your own image for it.
