As of next@15.2.0-canary.25 you can now try out 'use cache' without needing to enable dynamicIO by setting experimental.useCache to true.

With all of the prerequisite that this is canary, not production ready, still being understood from an infra level, etc. I will say that it is a revelatory feature, the cache primitive you've dreamed of. Being able to easily cache data based on responses is going to lead to some game-changing development.

This is the starter I use for starting new projects, prototyping, etc. Feel free to ride along if you want to start messing with the best of what's in canary.

field-sizing: content is almost enough of a reason for me to use Chrome instead of Safari.

At the time that I started writing this post, the worst people in the world had just taken back power, not the least bit admonished, and in fact emboldened. Industry leaders are gleefully following their lead. The unrelenting firehose of content has turned everything into a coarse, marketized, slurry of collapsed context.

The irony of starting a "Things I Like" post with this preamble is not lost on me, but such is the state of things. It was while writing the above that I made the conscious decision to write about things I like instead. Complaining is easy, let's do the hard work of writing about things that are Good, Actually. Here are three that are top of mind for me:

## Building a Website

I like talking about building websites, and building websites, so much so that I decided to make a career out of it.

I can say, unequivocally, that there has never been a better time to start building. The perfect stack is here, and is only going to get better as the year progresses. I will be writing about what this means and how best to take advantage of it a lot on this here blog website.

## Taskmaster

The only thing I watch on TV. That's only slightly hyperbole?

You'll come to love - or at least appreciate - all of the contestants in their own way. Except for maybe Katherine Parkinson and Ardal O'Hanlon.

You can watch it on Taskmaster Supermax+, YouTube, and for the unaired international seasons on torrents or ad-riddled bootleg websites you find linked on Reddit.

## Being a Parent

My [REDACTED] year old would be deeply embarrassed were they to see me writing about this, but being a parent is great.

We are healthy only to the extent that our ideas are humane.

In my professional capacity as a software engineer, I am pretty good at shipping things quickly. In my personal capacity, however, I am a disaster. The last decade is littered with nearly complete, abandoned, or completed and then abandoned projects. So I decided to take my day job ethos to heart and build something.

So I built, what else, a blog. Straining the defintions of minimum, viable, and product. It includes:

• A home page and a post.
• A fussily un-fussy design and feature set (monochromatic, a single font size and weight, oddly specific Markdown behavior.)
• A vague mission statement: to write about Laugharn (me) and/or development.

I hope you'll enjoy it.
