Keeping up with some discourse on the other site due to work has given me some interesting perspective.

- Discourse was bad, but it's gotten far worse.
- People would rather be louder than be constructive or introspective.

I don't know if I could ever go back full-time.

I need a new anti-Christmas Christmas sweater. My “Hail Santa” one might be too much…

Every time I see "X (formerly Twitter)" I smile.

A rebrand so bad they still need to say "we used to be known as this"

I will never understand how notion gets keyboard navigation wrong. Not just wrong, but super wrong.

Press the down arrow in a code block?
Does not go down one line, jumps to out of the block and down a line

Want to select lines of text? Cmd-shift-down moves the selected block down below.

Forums are great. Wrote about why they are better than slacks/discords: www.mooreds.com/wordpress/ar... and talked w/@scalingdevtools.bsky.social: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsoX...

This was before real GenAI. Now that LLMs are a major source of traffic, user-generated q&a is even more important

A comedic video about languages? Yes please.

Trying to turn one of my youtube profiles to be linguistic-focused since I burned out the original focus of it. Anyone else out there like languages and know of some good channels?

9 years ago, I got to go to Oslo for the first time ever. I only packed a light hooded sweater because I did not think it would snow, but I was very much wrong.

Norway, I would like to go back and visit other cities sometime soon!

So looks like I’m on the job hunt again😅

Right now, I’m looking for contract/pt work since I have another really huge “project” in the works right now🤭

If you know of any contract/pt roles in dev marketing, technical writing, or dev education, please send them my way!

Please repost and boost!💜💜
