Decided I'd add storybook to my work project today because I do love how it streamlines frontend dev. In the past I only really made stories for individual UI components, but today I figured "what the heck" and decided I'd make stories for pages too. But nope: github.com/storybookjs/... this exists.

Spent a surprising amount of time pairing today, considering we thought we didn't have much left to do before everyone goes on break. Couple bugs rocked up last minute. But pairing was fun, old job I rarely ever got to :)

Alright, I think 15 days of advent of code was all the energy I had. Started day 16 and just wasn't feeling it Still pretty happy with that, tbh, for my first attempt (and you know, still having a job). :)

8 days into advent of code and I've not run out of steam yet. I'm sure I WILL, but hey, this is going pretty well so far. :) I'm not exactly making clean solutions, but hey. They work

In the State of JS survey when I answered I was a woman, I was asked to share this link to invite more women: survey.devographics.com/survey/state... I nearly didn't do it, the JS ecosystem drives me nuts, but if I don't contribute, it will continue to drive me nuts and I'll remain unrepresented...

I bought a webtoon (Hooky) in book format in London today... now on a 10 hour trip back home, finished the book 3 hours into the trip and the remaining 7 will be torture. There's 2 more books. I am obsessed. When I get home I'll be going immediately to my local book store who APPARENTLY have stock.

Oh great, new CSS logo uses rebeccapurple. Now I'm going to tear up every time I style anything 😭

I've been using supermaven for personal use for so long I hadn't realised how much I'd feel the autocomplete latency difference, going back to GitHub Copilot (which I am now using for work). Wonder how that whole cursor thing is going to go...

Today I spent a good chunk of my day PR reviewing. That may sound like a chore, but given how isolated I was from other Devs in my previous position, this was a breath of fresh air. :) And my Svelte knowledge was helpful to the team, I like to believe

Okay, gotta admit. @coolify.io is pretty, er... Cool. Really takes the pain out of self hosting. I don't actually host often because I usually just make throwaway concept/test apps to learn things that are not worth hosting... but still, I'm sure this will come in handy some day!

Hmm, I might be a Zed convert? Appreciate the first party-ness of Vim keybinds (I use Neovim often, but sometimes it can feel like a hassle) and it just feels snappy compared to VSCode. We'll see how it goes!
