📦 Moving to the US soon 🇺🇸 🥂 - so I’m selling a few things we *very unfortunately* can’t take with us.
You know… in the US, the power standard is different (something like 110-120V vs 230-240V in Europe), so some electronics aren’t compatible without bulky adapters 🥲🥲🥲
I will post it here 🔜

Every once in a while I try to make a purchase on the mobile version of the website - and nothing works 🙃
It’s an absolute nightmare. I hope their analytics will just say that customers «prefer» desktop

After 1,5 years of pain and chemotherapy, my mom passed away today. I want to share this with someone, but I’m not ready to talk about it.
Just 59 years old. So unfair.

I almost never go to my GP (it’ll go away by itself), but when I do - only if I’m in real pain - I wait about 2 weeks for the GP appointment, and then at least another 1,5 months for a specialist (aka real doctor 😁)
There are many good things in the Netherlands, but not this one

When starting Reshaped, having a paid license kept me going but also felt wrong sometimes. I wanted to give back more to the community. After 5 years – it is finally happening. Reshaped React and Figma libraries are now open-source.

I learned a lot, honestly - really happy I did it. Kind of a bummer, though: they don’t give out physical cards/certificates anymore, just a digital document.
27.06 I'm finally taking the Advanced First Aid Course with the Red Cross because I want to be a better friend :)

Has anyone tried using a11y audits via BrowserStack in CI/CD? It seems to have quite some false positive issues, which makes me think it’s not as good as they try to market it 😕

Have you ever had a mentor at work, or perhaps a more senior colleague who shared their knowledge and experience with you?
If so, I must admit, I'm a bit envious

So. I did some traveling recently... My first stop (one of many) was Palanga.
There, I fell in love with the Baltic Sea, finally learned a bit about how to find constellations, and discovered a book written by my great-uncle 🥹

When I was a junior developer, the hardest interview question I ever received was something like:
“You have 12 hours. Describe in as much detail as possible how you would create your own JS framework and what you would add there to improve developer experience (DX).”
