I don’t have time (or desire) to micromanage engineers, I certainly don’t have time or desire to micromanage AI agents. #rant

Currently letting my toddler blow dry my hair while I’m sipping coffee. Even if I end up looking like a deranged Ace Ventura I think I’m ok with this activity. It’s cheaper than a blow out bar …

are you even married to a man if you don't have to threaten him with bodily harm over things like not putting back permanent markers or scissors where he found them?

I am looking for a full-time job.

Being independent in open source for 3.5+ years has been wonderful. I've gotten done most of the high-level goals I wanted to, and miss having people & structure around me.

If you know of a role for a staff-level TypeScript+web developer, let me know! 🙂

Pretty sure i just spent 20 minutes of a zoom call unknowingly unmuted and cough hacking next to the mic, so yeah, I’m clearly girlbossing closer to Jupiter than the sun today 🫠

Things my husband has said “no” to this week that I’m sad about
1. Buying one of those real looking life size dinosaurs from that NJ theme park selling them on FB marketplace for our toddler
2. Cooking and eating the giant chicken of the woods mushroom growing in our backyard

I have no doubt where our toddler got her stubbornness from after watching @wordman.dev fight with the fire tv remote for the last 35 minutes. He’s still losing.

I don’t understand why we still have to rely on coal energy when we could just put toddlers on hamster wheels instead.

Me: “hey, Trader Joe’s has Sweet Corn, Burrata & Basil Ravioli”
@wordman.dev: “that sounds pretty fucking slutty”

Guess we have a Trader Joe’s run to do this weekend.

Millennials, are we categorizing using a power washer as therapy or hobby?

Show me a more infuriating and effective gaslighter than a toddler. I’ll wait while mine screams “no pancakes” then demands them back as soon as we take them off her plate.

If you’re ever wondering what time contractors will show up to do work on your house project, it’s always 1 minute into you trying to put your baby down for a nap. You’re welcome.

My toxic trait is getting really excited for new Jurassic Park movies and then being disappointed when they invariably suck

I had a stupid smile on my face the whole trailer. Millennial parents - this hits hard.
