    *Works on fixing a bug for 3 hours with no progress and a multitude of contempt for programming* ... *Wakes up the next morning and fixes the bug in 2 minutes* 🤦‍♀️

  2. I used to be anxious about going out to eat alone... but y’all... it’s fantastic. You can order whatever you want without judgement, you don’t have to share food, and you get to eavesdrop on conversations. Don’t be afraid to do things alone, be your own best friend 🤙

  6. I am so incredibly excited because I’m in California this week to work with a company I’ve long loved and admired! Tomorrow I’ll be filming a course on “Creating a Technical Resume”! I’m so excited and think it’s going to be useful for not just tech but all resumes! ❤️☺️

    Hello jet lag my old friend. You’ve come to f with me again 🙃 18 hours of travel thus far, no sleep. 3.5 hour layover in Denver then a 3 hour flight to Santa Barbara, then a 40 minute drive. Send help.

    My favorite part about living in Germany is when I speak German back to the locals. They’re shocked. And then we proceed to talk in German. That feels good 😏😊

    On the train to the Frankfurt airport and I’m thoroughly enjoying our Feb book club book! It’s a fascinating and eye opening read about gender data bias and I highly recommend. Thanks for the gift, you were spot on ☺️💕

    All it takes is a few lines of code. This isn't, however accessible, so I will continue to refine until it is! But it's a pretty great start! [Screen reader accessible gist: ]

    *Continuing my react-spring animation journey* I also decided to play around with a progress bar, inspired by the progress bar () 😊 It blows my mind how painless it is to build animations!

    @font-face {
  font-family: Dank Mono;
  src: 
    /* Full name */
    local(Dank Mono),
    /* Postscript name */
    local(Dank-Mono), 
    /* otherwise, download it */
    url(//...a.server/fonts/DankMono.woff);  
}

    If anyone is looking for a comparable calendar app that’s free this one looks promising! FWIW I’m more than happy to pay good money for an app but the way this situation was handled doesn’t sit right with me so I will no longer be a customer.

    Not only that but the company’s responses to the linked thread seem a rude and dismissive. It’s sad that such a good product is treating loyal customers without empathy.

    I believe users who spent $40 to download your app for a “one time fee” should be grandfathered in to new app updates. But downgrading paid customers and making them subscribe at a monthly cost seems pretty crappy.

    Okay y’all, look I’m the first to champion charging money for your work. But I’ve spent over $100 on this app for a “lifetime download” and now with the new update I’m downgraded and would have to join a subscription to get access to the new features. This seems a bit shady imo.
