Sounds like it's time to vibe code a GitHub bot that auto-approves all your PRs πŸ˜‚

I cranked through all the episodes last night. Couldn't put it down. And agree that we need more each year πŸ˜‚

The scene with them all talking about the different Apeldoorn lineups was freaking gold.

I tried to get back into it in 2024, but tweaked my knee and never fully recovered. A few months of strength training has helped a ton though. It's almost back to normal.

I also did almost two month of walking before I got back to running. Been taking it slow to get the knee back into shape.

Consistency has been key. It's not always perfect, but showing up regularly is what matters. Now to stay locked in for the long haul!

How are y'all taking care of your physical health these days?

Also, happy to answer any questions about my journey.

It's amazing the difference 3 months can make:
- I can run 5ks again. Hit 29:00 last week. Was totally sedentary before.
- At my healthiest weight since I was 25. I'm 37 now.
- I'm the strongest I think I've ever been.
- I _feel_ so much better.
- I can play with my kids much easier.

Three months ago, I got some not so great test results from the doctor. Nothing major, but trending poorly. Made me rethink my physical health. I changed up my nutrition entirely, improved my sleep hygiene, and added consistent exercise – a mix of strength training, yoga, and cardio. 1/3

Ugh, now I want to get back into BEAM languages even though I have no practical reason to.

THANKS A LOT KYLE!!!

I got one for the first time in two decades a few years ago. So much nostalgia. It was awesome!

Hope it's a blast!

Please report back. I'm so engrained at this point I don't really want to switch but agree that their direction recently has been mostly fruitless.

That's tight! Taking `bevel` up to `250px` (`100%` works too; tried it in devtools) is a nice effect. I know that could be done with a rotated background element right now, but using `corner-shape` feels much more ergonomic. And it keeps all the gradients in alignment.

Never heard the Genesis version as a kid (which is weird, cause I was raised on 80s music) so when I first showed my dad the Disturbed cover, he went "Oh, this is a Genesis song" and my mind was blown πŸ˜‚

Announcing Backward Compatibility for Wasm plugins We are thrilled to announce a major quality-of-life improvement for the entire SWC ecosystem. Starting from @swc/core v1.15.0, our Wasm plugins are now backward-compatible! Previously, developers using Wasm plugins often had to update them with each ...

Wow, this is huge news for the SWC ecosystem!

I _love_ how fast SWC is, but updating plugins has historically been a huge pain. Glad it's getting smoothed out.

It's so funny watching kids pretend to be doctors. This morning, my 3yo fixed my "sprained wrist" by 1. sprinkling water on it, 2. squeezing orange juice on it, 3. drying it with a frying pan (πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ), 4. using a hair clip to tweeze the sprain out, and 5. wrapping it in a sock to keep it clean. πŸ˜‚
