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 started writing about things I’m genuinely grateful for—not despite the hard things in my life, but because of them....

These upsides along with the downsides that they come attached to reminded me of the trade-offs of JavaScript."

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.

Why is it so hard to give ourselves the credit we deserve?

What do Pisces and JavaScript have in common?

They’re both too forgiving.

last night, left an online community of devs i had been part of for 4 years. i was sad and scared i wouldn't find a community as welcoming.

but i joined @frontend.horse minutes ago and was already welcomed by the creator @trost.codes !

never be afraid to put yourself first.

Frontend Engineers,

Why do so many of you like Tailwind?

I don’t understand the hype.
