Code

Outside of work I build self-hosted tools, personal websites, and whatever else catches my interest. Side projects are where I experiment with new technology and stay sharp since at work I stick to stable, mature frameworks. There is plenty more to see on my GitHub account.

  "message": "Fix datamaps strict-mode bugs preventing map render under Vite\n\nTwo issues surfaced after the Bun + Vite migration:\n\n- d3 v3 (bundled via datamaps) reads globals off `this` in its top-level\n  IIFE (this.document, this.navigator, etc.). Under ESM/strict `this` is\n  undefined. Bind the IIFE invocation with .call(globalThis).\n- datamaps has a sloppy-mode bug where `hoverover = ...` is assigned without\n  a matching declaration, previously creating an implicit global. Under\n  strict mode that's a ReferenceError. Hoist `var hoverover` into the IIFE's\n  top scope via the same transform plugin. Also switch to the non-minified\n  datamaps.usa entry since the transform targets the readable source.\n\nCo-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>",
