Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Origin Story

The lyrics are a bit old and salty, like me. Written from scratch without AI or a GPT. I typed these lyrics into an AI, suno.ai, with the intent of it making a house beat. And it did a pretty good job.

Now I want to acutally be able to npm install this-beat so that's the purpose of this repo.

Boomer Talk

If you know me, I'm a javascript disliker. Been disliking React since around version 0.12.0. I've enjoyed and got paid to work with all the other languages mentioned in the lyrics. However I think this song is pretty good.

Generally I'm also pretty pessimistic about AI and it's usefulness. For example this song. A human, me, wrote the lyrics, so they're ok. They're by no means perfect, like why would you import a token, don't hardcode your tokens kids, certainly not in an external module. The human part is not perfect.

However the AI generated part, although it goes hard, needs lots of work.

  • The song cuts out at the 2 minute mark. I also ran the AI to continue the song but it didn't wrap up nicely.
  • The instructions were to "build up and drop for the chorus", but it builds and drops the "I'm a senior dev" line. That's not what I asked.
  • It sounds like it's recording static along with the song.
  • The lead singer sounds like she's saying "node module" singular.
  • It didn't sing the line correct at the beginning "got to r m f my", but you need the r for recursive, "rm: cannot remove 'node_modules': Is a directory".
  • suno.ai didn't give me the DAW files, or individual tracks to go and edit it.

It's a funny toy right now, but not actually useful. It will take more work to make this a real track than it's worth.
