Problem
Happy New Year! 🎉
I hope you had a great holiday season and that you're ready to tackle the new year head-on. I know I am! Here's a quick update on what's new and what's to come in 2025.
Community contributions have been restricted in one form or another for the better part of the past two years. As mentioned in previous updates, my time and energy are limited, and I've been focusing on creating content that I believe is valuable and engaging, rather than engaging in often unfruitful discussions with new contributors.
I still believe hit-and-run contributions to be problematic and what people perceive as interesting may not align fully with my vision, interests and time constraints. However, closing off contributions entirely is seeing everything as a nail when you have a hammer.
To amend this situation, I will allow community contributions on GitHub again. Here's the catch, however: For the time being, I will only be looking at bug fixes, typos and small improvements. I will not be accepting new content submissions, as I want to focus on creating content that aligns with my vision for the website.

To spice things up, I'm setting up discussions on GitHub for new articles, so that the community can provide feedback, jam on ideas and react to new content when it's published. Keep an eye out for links at the end of articles to join the discussion!
The About page has been updated to reflect the current state of the website and my intentions for the future. It's a bit more personal now, and I hope it gives you a better idea of who I am and what I'm trying to achieve with 30 seconds of code.
At the same time, the FAQ page is gone, as its content has been merged into the About page. I've also updated the footer links to reflect these changes.
