The PostgreSQL Global Development Group today announced the release of PostgreSQL 15, the latest version of the world’s most advanced open source database.

PostgreSQL 15 builds on the performance improvements of recent releases with noticeable gains for managing workloads in both local and distributed deployments, including improved sorting. This release improves the developer experience with the addition of the popular MERGE command, and adds more capabilities for observing the state of the database.

What I'm documenting here is an extension of the full-bleed CSS Grid layout. In the last version of my site, selected elements – images, code blocks, quotes – were made wider than the page content area using negative margins. It worked well! For this next iteration, I explored applying these breakout offsets using CSS grid and named grid lines.

Earlier this year I rewrote my website with Next.js, React, tsx, and mdx. Having tried full-stack rust in the past, I didn’t think its developer experience was on par with the Next.js stack. Well times have changed, and I wanted to see just how far I could push rust to feel like Next.js. So I did what any developer would do and rewrote my personal site… again.
