# New Job, Atom Feeds, 2023 Goals by Nick Radford --- The new year has come; a time for new beginnings. Kevin McCarthy (at time of writing) has failed 6 votes to become speaker of the house, which would be funny if it didn't illustrate how bad the GOP is at actually governing… In GoodNews© – I am excited to announce my next role! ![](/new-job-and-atom-feed/heyday-lg.avif) As of this Monday, I will be a Senior Software Engineer at [Heyday](https://heyday.xyz). Technically, I started yesterday (Jan 3rd), but because of vacation schedules and the like we decided to push the start date. ## Heyday Heyday is an AI powered memory and learning assistant tailored towards knowledge workers. You can learn more about the company at [Heyday.xyz](https://heyday.xyz) ### Inevitability? You can see that the branding for Heyday includes these glyphs of hands in various positions; waving, pointing, giving a thumbs up. Coincidentally, I've been using the 👋 emoji as my favicon on my website for a couple years, so... I think it was meant to be. ## Atom Feed and Bring Back Blogging Inspired by [Bring Back Blogging](https://bringback.blog/), I've opted to implement an atom feed here for my blog. [Here is the link to my feed.](https://nickradford.dev/feeds/atom.xml) (edited Feb 13, 2026) I built this using [jpmonette/feed](https://www.npmjs.com/package/feed) and referencing this [great blog post by Daan Debie](https://www.daan.fyi/writings/rss). To power this, I have an API route at `api/feeds/atom.xml` which will 1. Create a feed using the `feed` library 2. Iterate through my posts using `feed.addItem` to add the relevant content (including the static markup for the post) 3. Set a `Cache-Control` header to 1 day 4. Return the xml !\[A screenshot of the NetNewsWire RSS Client showing my content]\(/rss-reader.png) ## New Year, New Goals A rough list of things I would like to happen in the next 365(ish) days * Drink less alcohol * Play and finish more games (I'm looking at you, Steam Library) * Walk to places more than Uber * Read more than I did last year (this is a very low bar, unfortunately) * Finally, write more here on my blog
