Does Google AI search know it's April 1st or is this just a par for the course AI hallucination? I'll take my $30k prize money but skip the World Athletics Championships, thanks.

I've taken my code from my original OpenStreetMaps post and added # AFrame to begin turning it into a # WebXR , interactive experience. Still a work in progress, but the progress is happening, slowly but surely. # webdev https:// mary.codes/blog/programming/ge nerating_a_vr_map_with_osm_and_aframe/

Posts like this one give me so much stress when I launch hobby sites. Too many horror stories about small sites being charged insane amounts due to no fault of their own. I used to use Netlify, glad I left a while ago. https://www. reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/1 b14bty/netlify_just_sent_me_a_104k_bill_for_a_simple/ https:// news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3 9520776

I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who checked out my blog in the past couple of days and made positive comments. Today I wrote about how insane it is to go from 30 page views a day to 20k overnight. (Maybe I should stop looking at stats... 👀) https:// mary.codes/blog/life/top_of_ha cker_news/

Uhhh... someone posted my blog post to Hacker News and now I'm at the top of the page? I can tell you I was NOT prepared for that today. The stats, they're totally blown up now. (I appreciate it ❤️)

Parsing the map data is done with # Rust and # WebAssembly . # WebDev https:// mary.codes/blog/programming/tr anslating_openstreetmaps_to_HTML5_canvas_rust_wasm/

I am still horribly full of impostor syndrome despite crawling up on a decade of webdev experience, but as scary as it is to be getting my thoughts out there it's also quite exciting.
