>I'd put easter eggs all over it, just ot remind people there were people on the other end of the line

Most people won't come across your Easter egg since it's hidden. The ones that do encounter it will likely stumble over it, as did the OP, who had their CI pipeline broken. I think easter eggs are a poor tool to "remind people there were people on the other end of the line".

Edit: at least outside of entertainment software

How is this relevant if the website in question does not use Plausible?

Thanks hard pass. I checked and Plausible starts from 9 Euros a month. This is hardly what I'd consider advertising material. But likely I'm just not their target audience.

There's also no consent banner, so this doesn't seem GDPR compliant

Edit: I must have phrased this in a confusing way. They are NOT using Plausible but GA. I'm well aware cookie-less analytics does not require consent

This is just begging the question why VS code would become unmaintained
bauerd··on The best Go framework: no framework?
Yes you can put in the work and zip a bunch of libraries up into your own home-brew framework. But I doubt it's time worth spent for most teams.

You also get to implement stuff like CSRF protection, cookie signing, anti session fixation, etc. You also lose out on community contributions because you are your own community now. You also better have stellar internal documentation because onboarding developers is going to be a pain otherwise.

99% of cases people are better off using a boring conventional web framework and implementing their actual business logic on top of it.

Have you tried to implement interaction-rich applications such as calendars or text editors with server-side rendering? You won't be able to recreate the UX an SPA can afford, regardless of revenue.
bauerd··on Writing a printer driver in JavaScript
Similarly, some years ago I prototyped an ESC/POS client (?) for a Bluetooth thermal printer. It was implemented as a Chrome Extension/Chrome App pair, because only Apps were allowed to use Chrome's proprietary Bluetooth API back then. Extension and App communicated via postMessage IIRC. I was shocked how well that hack actually worked. Google then sunset Chrome Apps, and Web Bluetooth never happened.

I don't use ergo boards myself, but you could try to ask Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards

Good luck!

bauerd··on Beginner’s guide to mechanical keyboards
Any hot swappable ergonomic board will be fine. Hot swappable means the switches can be pulled out of the sockets on the circuit board. Otherwise, you'd have to desolder the switches.

Edit: Do not worry, assembling a keyboard from parts is childs play. There's not a lot that can go wrong, just be careful not to damage the circuit board, and check that it fits the case.
