I'm not sure if having USB-C for everything is more helpful or not. It's a guessing game. Can this cable transmit data? Can this port output video? Have to dig through the product manual that may/may not be thrown away.
Did I get games week flu π€§
I admire people with chronic illnesses who can advocate for themselves. I have yet to accept that I have quite limited energy to spend and itβs okay to take a rest. When will this acceptance come? π£
Stealing my hubby's Mac mini to bring to the office. Anyone else carry their mini pc around like a laptop? The laptop is usually used docked anyway.

I got the cosmic orange.
Color wise? Love it π
Functional wise? A bit underwhelming tbh
Feeling like I'm the least cool in this cohort.
Hope I can get the most out of this!

Burnout, Masking and Energy Management for Neurodivergent IT professionals. Ellie McGowan.
Picture this: You've just spent five hours in meetings, nodding, smiling, pretending to be normal, but on the inside, your mental batteries are on zero.
Feeling tired despite full sleep? That can be caused by Burnout. It isn't just about feeling tired, it's now officially classified as a syndrome caused by chronic workplace stress that hasn't been successfully managed.
For Neurodivergent people, Burnout hits harder. We mask just to get through the day, we work twice as hard to fit into environments that weren't built for us, we manage sensory overload, executive dysfunction, and social expectations all while trying to keep up with neurotypical standards.
π¬ Introducing DDD REWIND π¬
Where we'll replay some of the DDD Melbourne past talks~
We have:
Ellie McGowan's talk on Burnout, Masking and Energy Management for Neurodivergent IT Professionals.
For many in our community, especially those navigating tech while neurodivergent, this talk hit home.

Is ghosting rooted from overwhelm?
Not great at the meme game. But Iβm quite proud of making this one ππΌ

Why am I still sleepy all day long. Is it time to do my thyroid check again.. So frustrating π«
I grew up getting FOMO over events that only happen in the capital city. Now as an adult, the FOMO gets to an international level. Not the good kind of level up, help.
Wishing for a judgment-free learning space. Want to fail, debug, and fix together. Kinda tired of AI-assisted perfection π₯Ή
Season 1 is better π©
Thereβs finally Sandman season 2?!
Mixed Reality x Robotics?
Iβve touched grass today. Planting trees. It was nice. Whereβs developer turn farmer pipeline?
Am I just an idea gal?
I think discord/whatsapp default chronological messages are overwhelming. I like Slack a lil bit more with message threads. What kind of design choices are those two called?
I donβt drink but I had to get the Responsible Service of Alcohol cert when I did hospitality training. Couldnβt imagine being a bartender, so I built this.
