Celebrate we will…cause life is short but sweet for certain
This is about me!
I met a new person last week. For the first day and a half of our interactions, I had a hat on. Then, on the second afternoon, while we were talking, I took my hat off, and they let out a not-so-quiet "Oh!" I took that to mean the gray hair was very unexpected.

I left the #100Devs community almost 3 months ago. I told some ppl and thought it was going to ruin my ability to find a job. But here I am today with a SWE job that not only pays well but aligns with my goals and values. I want to do a tea spill but only with safe ppl. DM or comment if interested.

I've never been this consistent with Anki. I wanna thank my friends @ghiblimagic.bsky.social for the Anki add-ons and @codergirlfriend.bsky.social b/c we complained about Anki but also I think it's b/c I like this Advanced JavaScript course which I wouldn't have access to w/o @devmansam.net.
