This is the queue-clearing work that missed the #12 merge.

PR #12 merged at 5a5fbf9 — the exploratory post only. The commit re-dating the whole queue landed on that branch minutes afterwards and was never included, so five posts are still sitting on future dates and invisible. My fault: I pushed to a branch that already had a live PR.

Same commit, cherry-picked onto current main. No content changed — renames plus one date: line each.

What this publishes

Five posts move from future dates to 2026-08-17:

Time Post Was
09:00 Below the waterline is not a stable state 2026-08-21
10:00 Open source permanently, and how it gets paid for 2026-08-28
11:00 Valuable real estate, claimed in the open 2026-09-04
12:00 One standard, twice — and ninety-odd, never 2026-09-11
13:00 Nobody should be writing industry rulesets 2026-09-18

Times exist only to preserve the order they were written in, so the day reads as a sequence. Permalinks are date-based, so nothing depends on them.

A drip schedule is a marketing mechanism. This blog is the running record of work in progress, and holding finished writing for three weeks does not serve anyone reading it to find out what is happening.

Verified

  • Plain jekyll build, no --future: nothing skipped, all six of today's posts render.
  • Blog index and feed.xml carry them newest-first in the order above, with the alias post published earlier today beneath them.
  • After this merges the blog has no queue — every finished piece is published.

Five posts were sitting on future dates as a weekly drip: 08-21, 08-28,
09-04, 09-11 and 09-18. A drip schedule is a marketing mechanism, and
this blog is the running record of work in progress. Holding finished
writing back for three weeks does not serve anyone reading it to find
out what is happening.

All five re-dated to 2026-08-17 and published. Explicit times in the
frontmatter preserve the order they were written in, so the day reads
in sequence rather than arbitrarily:

  09:00  Below the waterline is not a stable state
  10:00  Open source permanently, and how it gets paid for
  11:00  Valuable real estate, claimed in the open
  12:00  One standard, twice — and ninety-odd, never
  13:00  Nobody should be writing industry rulesets

No content changed. Times are for ordering only.
