I'm grateful to not work for a tech company. It kind of looks like a bummer given some people's posting the past few months

I played it when the switch remaster came out a few years back and it blew me away. Godspeed, gamer

I love playing the role of a person putting various blocks into a bin and hoping they dissolve

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

You want to stay relevant as a software developer for the next 10 years?

These are 3 major things you should focus on:

Hubris! I'm full of it! I forgot that I am nothing more than a highly evolved ape with a keyboard.

I was humbled today. I dared to use a toy javascript framework a month ago thinking it'd make my life easier, but it only cause me pain. The solution was to rip it out and just use vanilla JS.

I can't say enough good things about the django-simple-deploy package. It's so good I decided to make my first post in months

I was in the same boat a month ago and it's awesome how far plain CSS has come and where it can get you now compared to ~10 years ago.

I spent the weekend playing around with C for the first time since university, and holy moly what a way to see how far I've come.

I used to think the syntax was cumbersome and confusing. bizarre take

i still can't comprehend that car seat headrest released anything after 2014. it breaks my heart, in a purely personal sense of the loss of my younger self.

I've spent the past 2 days doing front-end at work (just html, css, and pure js) and it's amazing how much this stuff has gotten better over the past decade.

shopify is so annoying. I built the discount function I needed to, but man what a pain in the butt that was.

skill issue for sure

the text-only bracket picker is pretty well done. I'm still humming and hawing over what to do for an interface. I'm thinking TUI
