🦊 Friday was my last day working at 18F. It was a team of extraordinary people, but a few things happened that made me realize I had to leave. Everything happens so much these days, so I thought I’d write down for myself what happened, and how I made my decision: ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/leavin...

Since the adult #vaccine schedule is currently not active on the CDC website here is a screenshot for the recommended schedule.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Today, we’re deprecating Create React App for new apps, and encouraging existing apps to migrate to a framework. We’re also providing docs for when a framework isn’t a good fit for your project, or you prefer to start by building a framework. react.dev/blog/2025/02...

In a world where acts of kindness are a form of rebellion: Be kind.

This is a fantastic collection of resources and strategies. 💯

Haven’t finished the first two courses yet (working on Joy of React now) but I’m already so enthused about @joshwcomeau.com‘s next course!

I stand with the trans community. Pass it along.

Just watched @leonnoel.bsky.social spend 45 minutes talking through FizzBuzz as an example for how to interview. So much more to a technical interview answer than producing a solution. What’s your favorite tip for technical interviews? #100Devs #Jobuary

I cut my hair short several months ago to model the process before my then 2.5 year old kiddo got a very wanted but slightly intimidating first haircut. Now every day as it grows out, I look a little different. Reminds me in a bold way that every day I AM a little different.

Rebuilding my resume. #Jobuary #100Devs is getting me moving. Excited to think about my experiences in a fresh way and to tell a new story in a single page document. Gonna rebuild my website and let all my friends know (apparently they didn't) that I build websites. I need to advertise better.

@leonnoel.bsky.social is keeping that #100Devs inspiration going. Thank you! I need to stop "free"lancing and start "paid"lancing. Hard to know what rate to start with. Anyone have any tips? Gotta rebuild my own website, planning to decide on some rates to post to be upfront going forward.

Getting ready for today's Jobuary stream with @leonnoel.bsky.social and #100Devs. It stars at 2:30 PT! We're talking about how to share your story in a way that reflects the strengths and skills you bring to the table. In my reflections, I've noticed some common threads in my own story.

Joining #100Devs and @leonnoel.bsky.social for Jobuary. In the next two months I intend to dust off skills and rebuild my network, which were back burnered when I got pregnant in 2021 and my whole world shifted to accommodate my kiddo as a stay-at-home-parent in 2022. 100devs.org/about/

If you have front wheel drive and begin to skid, turn your steering wheel in the direction your rear tires are moving. If you haven't done a lot of driving in snowy/icy conditions this seems counterintuitive. But, really, this is how you recover from a skid. I had to do this on my morning commute.

Remember that you were raised on stories about hyperindividualistic chosen ones where saving the entire world is the minimum win condition. It's fine to tune your expectations down from that a smidge. You're not going to dethrone god today but maybe do something nice for your neighbors.

Reading my first whitepaper (atproto) and I'm pretty sure a new level of nerdom has been unlocked. Very exciting stuff but I do want to say, considering this to be "another twitter" is a wrong headed mental model. BlueSky is great, but it's not the point at all. This is a social experiment, but one

What happened to all the "Alt" accounts from the site formerly known as Twitter? We need them again! AltEPA, AltNatParkSer, RogueNASA, AltUSDA, Alt_CDC, AltHHS, AltNOAA, AltNIH...Come back!

Anyone have experience creating a seed library at a school? I’m considering starting one at my child’s preschool, would love tips and ideas.

My first post here. What a day for it. The world needs more kind.
