If you've got some free time this weekend, walk around this little web world. It feels really special, and there is plenty of effort behind it.
Finally realized another big piece of the vision for jclahoot.com 🙌
Welcome to my little oasis on the web! A tiny village nestled within a cat shaped mountain. My personal website.😌

The Callback by @trost.codes is the TechLinked of web development that I never knew I always wanted, and will always be mad that I never came up with first.
Please keep making these, they are excellent!

“Peak toilet productivity”
If you missed last week's episode of The Callback, you missed a certified banger, according to my old coworker.
He doesn't lie, so you should really check it out.

I know a lot of devs who jump between frameworks, but rarely do I hear Angular brought up, despite its popularity.
