The problem is compounded by the fact that it’s hard to know when your CV will be read by humans or not. ATS-optimized CVs don’t tend to do well with human readers, they justifiably feel like they could be illegitimate.

I've created a calculator that gives you the right answer 80% of the time and I believe it will change the world

i’m so tired but i’ve got obligations 😩

I love this podcast! I also feel like exploiting feelings of fear and anger especially is a huge ingredient, and that’s why bad actors foster these feelings. I think we need to do a better job overall of addressing these feelings and speaking to them.

Crochet Cafe Challenge #16: Ok, it’s way more than one piece but I forgot to post for a while, so here’s the complete bento box, with octopus hot dog, onigiri, hard boiled egg, edamame, and cherry tomatoes! A bit of softness and cuteness won’t go amiss rn 🥹

Crochet Cafe Challenge #15: Onigiri 🍙

So cute! I made a crochet version of it for my husband last year and it was a hit at work!

Crochet Cafe Challenge #14: Octopus hot dog, with bento box. The next few pieces will gradually fill up the bento box 🍱

You don’t get it, he’s doing that for neutrality, to reduce bias! /s

I also started investing more time and energy in non-screen, tangible hobbies and it feels so good! Definitely helps me feel more refreshed when I get back to work, too

I don't know how to get across to people that you cannot stop these fires once they get going with 80+ mph winds behind them. it can't be done. this is not solvable.

Crochet Cafe Challenge #13: Triple chocolate muffin! Figured out where I went wrong with the blueberry muffin, once again I skipped over some instructions 😅

After a bit of a hiatus over Christmas, Crochet Cafe Challenge #12: Pancake Stack!

Just replace all the evil seed oils you use with wholesome, lukewarm raw milk 🥰

Leetcode has virtually no relevance to real world work, especially in web. As long as you understand which techniques or algorithms to use in which scenarios and why, it doesn’t matter whether you can write it yourself from scratch with time pressure. Libraries exist.

Crochet Cafe Challenge #11: Latte

Crochet Cafe Challenge #10: a somewhat wonky blueberry muffit! There’s definitely somewhere in the instructions where I messed up because it’s way taller than intended but hey 😅 They can’t all turn out like the pictures!

Crochet Cafe Challenge #9: Egg benedict

Crochet Cafe Challenge #8: toast to complete this breakfast 🍳

Picture of a siamese cat bundled up in blankets, looking satisfied

Oh, to be a cosy snuggled up kitty on a rainy Friday afternoon

And what terrible timing 😔 all my solidarity to the affected prople

This is a strong argument I had not yet considered

Since I came to the US, I’ve noticed that Vue.js seems to have quite a lot less traction here compared to the UK or Europe. If you’re an American dev: have you used Vue? Why not? I feel like it’s such a great framework and I don’t understand why it’s not more widely used!

If you haven't, please help us better understand your needs by filling out of State of Vue 2025 Survey:

also in some areas there just isn’t a good supply of fresh foods available, the US has many such food deserts. Plus, those who rely on food banks will rarely get healthy, fresh foods, through no fault of their own

Crochet Challenge #6 & #7: bacon, and an egg!

Crochet Cafe Challenge #5: Avocado 🥑

I can’t think of a more British-coded condiment tbh
