6 Weeks of Claude Code
It is wild to think that it has been only a handful of weeks.
Claude Code has considerably changed my relationship to writing and maintaining code at scale. I still write code at the same level of quality, but I feel like I have a new freedom of expression which is hard to fully articulate.
Claude Code has decoupled myself from writing every line of code, I still consider myself fully responsible for everything I ship to Puzzmo, but the ability to instantly create a whole scene instead of going line by line, word by word is incredibly powerful.

Off the Beaten Path to Upgrade Symfony 2.8 to 7.2 | Tomas Votruba
There are two types of upgrades. One follows only `UPGRADE.md` files on every release, replacing what has been removed with new alternatives. It works, and we could say that the codebase will be "up-to-date."
The other upgrade doesn't stop at the required minimum but **makes use of all modern features the framework provides**. It will be faster, easier to understand, and easier to upgrade to the next version. I [wrote a post](/blog/two-kinds-of-legacy-code-upgrade) that explains why the latter is better.
There are no sources about Symfony upgrades spanning multiple major versions—time to fix that.

The Illusion Of Life: An SVG Animation Case Study – Smashing Magazine
How far can we push SVG animation? At the time, designer Chris Halaska and Michael Ngo were colleagues working on an illustration-heavy campaign website. While aesthetically pleasing, the designs lacked the required “oomph” that all creatives search for. Their idea was to create a data-driven process that enables designers to quickly prototype animations from static illustrations. In this article, Michael will take a look at how you can use SVGs to create seemingly complex animations from simple illustrations.
