This is also me 🤣...

I remember when 18F was created. I was a contractor at Department of State and one of few developers part of redesigning the US Embassy websites. They had a heavy influence on the work we did at the time. Thank you all for your service and I'm so sorry this happened...

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

🎉 Introducing my upcoming third course, Whimsical Animations! This course will teach you how to build top-tier animations and interactions using a variety of techniques. ✨ You can join the waitlist on the course’s brand-new site, which is the most ridiculous thing I’ve built in quite some time:

I let my current manager know this as often as I can remember to do this.

Wow I just loved this talk from Hanselman! youtu.be/KqhhaMgbGhU I learned to - create a VHD from Disk Mgmt 😮 - build a container from a csproj 😎 - switch Docker to containerd 🆗 - build a WASI container! 🤯 Thanks @scott.hanselman.com! 👏

I wonder if y’all realize what’s happening in Canada now? Everyone I know is figuring out how we can support each other, and make sure none of our money goes to the US. It’s a weird mix of patriotism and vengeance. So far, I’ve diverted >$3000 that would’ve gone to the US over the next year.

Day 1 on the Elastic booth at #ndclondon talking all things #elasticsearch #kibana #elk. Excited to see @stevejgordon.bsky.social's talk later. Not a bad view here either. 😊 If you're around come and say hi 👋

Most of my promotions were based on my ability to attach my work to the metrics below. Working at a major cloud provider made this a lot easier because we tracked everything. It largely comes down to earning and sharing the credit across different teams including engineering, product, and sales.

I am happy to share that I’ve successfully completed The Joy of React course from @joshwcomeau.com Before I didn’t feel confident of my React skills, despite having years of experience. Josh’s course helped me build a great foundation I will use for the rest of my career! www.joyofreact.com

We listen and we don’t judge: Tech Edition 👀

Very saddened by the passing of my birthday twin 😀 , a life hero, and fellow hokie. I remember being in her presence and having the blessing of taken a class with Nikki Giovanni. What is my most memorable moment, was sitting in Cassell Coliseum near the top, sort of by myself..

We've got a printable cheat sheet of The Epic Programming Principles. We even have a high res image you can use as a desktop background 🎉 www.epicweb.dev/principles/c...

This is super slick 😮

If you decide to wait until you know everything about Javascript before applying to a job, you will be unemployed forever.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is such a good explanation of container queries by @joshwcomeau.com! I especially loved the golden rule coined by @miriam.codes: “we can’t change what we measure”. It made a lot of the concepts click 👏 www.joshwcomeau.com/css/containe...

To the customer service rep for #GoDaddy who was so nice and affirming that I was not crazy and somewhat know what I'm talking about. Thank you so much, that actually did a lot for me. I thought I screwed up completely some of this DNS stuff and was feeling very defeated... 😅

Good evening everyone! Just stopping by to say that 1) We are seeing the notifications from you mentioning us and we will respond to all of them tomorrow, but yes, the posts that were exported today are not showing the original date. And this is happening because of a change in the Bluesky protocol.

I feel like half of programming is remembering how weird stuff works and the other half is setting things up so that you do not have to remember the weird stuff

🌠 For years, the #1 most requested feature in CSS was Container Queries. We wanted them so badly! Well, they’ve arrived… and none of us are using them. 😂 I think I know why, and I just published a new blog post that will hopefully change that! Check it out: www.joshwcomeau.com/css/containe...

Would you look at that. GitHub has added support for Bluesky handles on your GitHub profile.

we've been slowly working on adding alt text to all of the pages in the Wizard Zines archive at wizardzines.com/comics/. It's not done yet but for the ones that are, they're all actually searchable by alt text!

I would LOVE for JetBrains to join the BlueSky train...

Just did the cringy thing where I publicly announce that I’m done with Twitter. This is officially my new micro-blogging home. 😄 The vibes here have been incredible so far. ❤️
