Crazy to see this story on the front page of the BBC and now Hacker News too! Ronnie was an awesome guy, and absolutely a part of Rob and Dianne's family, not a "maid" as another comment suggested.

More like a brother/uncle helping out around the home than any kind of maid.

Apple: would it kill you to add some labels to all the mystery-meat navigation in Xcode?

Tiny easter egg: refreshing the page on either the blog post or the website gets you a new random background pattern

I tend to use hapi (https://hapi.dev) instead of Express if I need to write a quick backend for something these days.

Fastify looks nice too but I haven't used it.

Been burnt by full-stack frameworks in the past (e.g. Meteor) but they can be a good option for some.

I've never used Hapi, but I followed the process when Walmart wanted to discontinue the project. Unfortunately, even though it's quite an interesting backend framework, I don't see the need to use it with the existence of other solutions.

The Baked Bean Museum of Excellence was a very niche one near me in South Wales. Think it has closed its doors now though.

PSA: Seems like deleting deploy keys on the CircleCI end doesn't actually delete them from Github, so you need to do it on both ends.

Very soothing. Now I'm wondering how common "a supermarket trolley on the track earlier on this train's journey" is in Scotland that they needed to pre-record that audio.
