I finally deactivated my Twitter (I refuse to call it X) account. I had that account since 2008, 18 years. I find myself trying to login again because I'm so used to it that finding another place is really hard. The search, the tags, finding people was so easy there. IDK, it's a big change.

Big big thanks to @sarasoueidan.com for adding full transcripts to the Practical Accessibility course. I have huge troubles following videos, so being able to read the transcript is amazing!

This has been a year with very high highs and very low lows.

Having managers that care about you as a human is a total game changer.

The project I've been working on for the past 5 months is out in the world... I only feel relief that it's finally shipped.

So I've uninstalled all social media from my phone except for YouTube, I've left Spotify, and will only use social media from my iPad or my computer... let's see how it goes.

So I just properly read about the indie web and I'm itching to build an early 2000's style website

Growing up is recognizing that you can build a blog website and never intend to write anything on it.

Cherry blossoms in Berlin mark the start of my love affair with this city. Every year I feel really down during winter but once these beauties bloom, hope comes back and Berlin becomes super beautiful.

Just did a small personal website using @astro.build. It's been a really long time since I've made one, so things might be glitchy for a while. Also no, it won't have a blog. juliescript.dev

Research shows live coding assessments disadvantage neurodivergent people. High-pressure tests miss diverse processing styles and cause anxiety in qualified candidates. This mirrors my experience—despite preparation, the rapid format conflicts with my methodical problem-solving strengths.

I lowkey really miss Bloglovin' and Google Reader

Esa época del año que toca renovar dominios como si de verdad se fuera a hacer el proyecto

Every month when I get paid, I go through my bank statement and write down all every single transaction just to come face to face with what I spent on during the month. I decided to do no-buy and low-buys on some things and it has been working! I managed to save a lot!

Second week that work is super intense, I need a break.

the video feed thing is a first pass that the team knocked out in a week. the algorithm is repetitive now — it will improve over time i’m excited that third party devs can work with video feeds from day one. bluesky app can display other devs’ video feeds; other apps can display our video feed

LEGO dates with my husband are 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Changed my facebook ad preferences and removed my consent to have my off-meta data tracked and now I have timers for ads??? No, goodbye to those platforms. i just uninstalled all meta apps from my phone.

2024 was a very tough year work-wise. I hope 2025 becomes a bit easier and I'm able to continue doing interesting things and having fun at work.

It's the end of the year so let's jump back in time and see some of my favorite #CSS stuff! This week I will post (2 posts/day) my personal top 10 of what I shared in 2024 🏆 🧵Don't miss this thread! You can also participate by telling me your favorite CSS thing 👇

Slowly coming back to the CSS community after a long time of not writing CSS. So much has changed!

Slowly getting myself out of iCloud and Google Cloud stuff. It's way harder than I expected.

My PM called me one of the masterminds of our new project 🥹🥹🥹🥹

I want to build something in @astro.build but I don't have any ideas. I refuse to make a blog or a portfolio website.

Que bueno que ya terminó esta semana del horror. Es increíble como agota la chamba y te deja totalmente acabada.

Mi PM: "el copy suena muy robótico, hay que cambiarlo" Yo: "sí, es que esto de hacer copy no es lo mío y menos en mi segundo idioma" Hablo muy bien inglés, pero hacer copy es otro boleto. Kudos a todes que se dedican a eso porque es bien difícil comunicar.

Pensé que había dejado a todos mis Pokémon desde White v2 hasta Moon en el limbo, pero los encontré sanos y salvos en Ultramoon. Un día que tenga ganas los voy a pasar al Switch.

Quiero hacer conchas *procede a comprar dos libros de panadería mexicana*

Aaaaaaa, my dinosaur cross-stitch got accepted to a local dinosaur-themed art show!! 🥳

Tuve que diseñar el feature que me toca implementar. No pretendo ser buena en diseño pero me ayudó un buen que en mi empresa anterior me enseñaron a usar Figma con un design system y que mi empresa tiene un design system súper bien implementado. También hice mucho copy-paste.

Ya nos conocen en el lugar al que vamos a desayunar los sábados. La batista nos pregunta que como estamos y luego luego se acuerda de la mesa que nos gusta y nuestra orden.

Terminé de jugar Detective Pikachu para 3DS y es un juego bien bonito. Me encantó la historia y los personajes. También me gusta ver una faceta de Pokémon que no sea atraparlos y ponerlos a pelear.

Otoño 🍁

Este año decidí que voy a hacer todo lo posible por pasármela bien cada estación. Quiero hacer recuerdos bonitos en vez de pensar en todo lo que no me gusta del invierno. Octubre fue un mes muy bonito lleno de caminatas, pan de muerto, comida rica y amigos. Espero que Noviembre sea igual o mejor.

We got gray and dreary Berlin just in time for spooky season

Amo que puedo ver Alerta Aeropuerto en YouTube

Al fin guardé mi ropa de verano y saqué la de otoño/invierno. Me hacen falta tops otoñales, sólo tengo camisas térmicas.

It only took 84 years, pero al fin me volvió a salir el pan de muerto

Consejos que nadie me pidió de senior developer: - si están trabajo en un codebase grande, lo más probable es que alguien más ya resolvió el problema que tienen. Así que pregúntenle a sus compañeros, les va a ahorrar HORAS de trabajo.

madara

El martes fui a comer ramen con unas compañeras del trabajo que estaban de visita en la ciudad. Esperamos 1 hora para entrar pero el ramen estaba ridículamente bueno. Sí le hace la competencia a mi ramen favorito en la ciudad.

Otoño en Berlín

Vamos a intentar estar aquí de nuevo

Going to try to use this again, we'll see how it goes.

My German neighbour is the cutest. He's elderly and he asked for our help today with his scanner and he gave us soup as a thank you.

We spent the past month in South Korea and Japan. Best trip of my life by far.

Going out with my bestie is always good. He's so amazing, I'm so happy I have a person like him in my life.

I love talking to my female co-workers. They are so nice and interesting. I hate that we’re scattered across teams. I’m sure we would be a force to be reckoned with if we were together more often.
