Building a regional tap water quality map for Hack Your Summer. The MVP's goal is to parse San Diego PDF water reports (CCRs) into an interactive dashboard, helping check neighborhood TDS, calcium, and magnesium levels for better extraction chemistry.

Trying out @leaflet.pub and learning in public. Wish me luck. 😅 chrisjm-hys-journal.leaflet.pub/3mqpehafng22v

📢 API Update: We're deprecating the `/v1/breweries/autocomplete` endpoint. It will be removed by the end of 2025. Please migrate to the `/v1/breweries/search` endpoint for more fun/same times! 😁 Questions? Find us on GitHub Issues or our Discord server! 🍻 www.openbrewerydb.org/news/2025/10...

This graph makes me happy. 🙂 It definitely shows how well SQLite performs when properly tuned. Thanks to @alexjustesen.com for helping out with this back in August! 🍻

Absolutely chef’s kiss post by @danabra.mov. Highlights aspects of atproto that I didn’t even know about. Long read and worth every word and graphic. ✨

There are probably still some bugs, but I'm pleased to have hammered this out yesterday after sitting as a stale branch for a few months. 😅

Today is the first day of the Fall 2025 semester at Georgia Institute of Technology, and the start of my 6th class in the OMSA program! This semester, I’m taking the last of my foundational courses: Data and Visual Analytics. #letsgo #gatech #omsa chrisjmears.com/blog/kicking...

Welp. 5 years ago, I wrote about trying to figure out my career. I finally posted the follow-up. It's been a winding road and a total firehose, but the bet I made on myself back then is paying off. It continues to be a firehose, but I like where I'm heading. chrisjmears.com/blog/the-pow...

Cheers to a new API backend with #Laravel thanks to @alexjustesen.com ! 🍻
