This is where art and engineering overlap. Learning to not be precious about your work clears the way for tremendous growth and innovation.
It’s always weird to find the actual line the republicans won’t cross. Nazi tattoos? Totally fine, you get to be the secretary of defense. Nazi texts? Not this week buddy.
YASSSSSS!!! My expression changed from 😢 to 😁
There was a Jay Bell shaped hole in our hearts 😭
Once again it was so great to see my #angular family at Ng-conf! It was had a great time seeing everyone who could make it, and miss everyone who could not!

If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.

Have you seen the movie Mickey 17?

I think about it every time I open a new chat window, because I get a different version of CoPilot every time. Sometimes I get one that follows the instructions we added to the repo, other times I get the chaotic evil version that randomly deletes half of my code

It sucks to know that pretty much every government agency is now being run by people you wouldn’t hire to watch your goldfish.
According to my older relatives it’s a literal cloud that does computer stuff
I think you’re the right audience for this sticker I snagged at @kcdc.bsky.social

For me I grabbed the cat shaped one.
I put on my new phone screen protector and it sort of went like this:

Reads “peel this first to avoid touching the adhesive”

Immediately touches the adhesive 🫠
One of the little things that bring me joy is that every morning, I crack my office door so my cat can go outside and enjoy the garden. It’s hot so I close my inner door to just a crack to keep the heat out.

When he is done, he koolaid mans his way through the cracked door and it is delightful
It was so great to see you all!
