Finally finished this sweater (for my 3yo daughter). Body and one sleeve took me 3 weeks, sleeve two took my 3 months. Finishing things is always harder than starting 💀

Bread only exists for four hours, then it turns into raw toast.

I love how during the election so many Americans told people with opinions to “mind their own business” Unfortunately America, as much as we wish it weren’t the case, your business is our business.

I know this will probably be controversial, but the Minecraft movie was actually kind of good.

So someone asked me to make a change on a PR. It’s a good shout, and I’m going to do it. HOWEVER I copied the code in question from him. Should I also fix his usage in the same PR, or is that too passive aggressive? 💀

Y’all are in a state of national emergency over less than 1 pound of fentanyl.

Kind of feels like AI tools are speeding up the burnout cycle for me. I’ve always used straightforward easy to crank out tasks as a sort of break from the hard and slow problems, let my brain get the dopamine hit of rapid shipping.

I thought it would be funny to try to score a smiley face into this loaf. In fact, it was a horrible and terrifying.

Using AI to help me think of a library name for an idea I’m playing with, and look who pops up in one of its ideas. @omgsean.com 25.8% CoffeeScript 🙈

“When you reach the end of your life, you will die. And you won’t be able to wear your glasses. And it will be in 99 hours” - my 3yo Wednesday’s going to be a big day for me.

TFW you spend half the day trying to get the design system to let you do something you could have done in ten minutes with two divs 🫠

Tricked my colleagues into going for momos in Parkdale for a team dinner 😅 one review was “this is actually the best thing I’ve ever had in Toronto”

For two libraries based on native fetch, it was surprisingly tricky to get GraphQL yoga to play nice with hono. Works now though, and that’ll improve my life tremendously.

A previous guest at this AirBnB didn’t sign out of their Apple TV. Do I watch the latest severance as them, risking causing a marital dispute over allegations of tv streaming cheating?

I love cooking in this country. Breakfast tacos - cochinita pibil the family down the street is selling from their front door - really good eggs - fresh tortillas - fresh avocados - a simple salsa

Spent a good chunk of my flight yesterday trying to implement DataLoader having never looked at the code and no internet access. Pretty fun challenge, might keep going.

Family vacation starts tomorrow morning and Travel Dad is emerging

Happy half of the year where my car’s clock is correct to all those who celebrate

I’ve started blocking the “block of text, copied from someone else, whole thing could have fit in the main skeet body, no alt text” people, and it’s felt good each time so far. Strong recommend.

It’s my dog’s birthday. She’s a bit of a nut, but we love her all the same.

I was thinking of making another table, and the universe provided with these old hardwood legs at the side of the road

Hah, was able to name the exact town this week’s Severance was shot in within 5 minutes

I’ve been so hung up on the “make the developer experience perfect” phase of this (solo) project for so long, finally switched to “just build, fix things that annoy as they come up” and the productivity boost is astounding 😅

The hardest thing about evolving GraphQL APIs always seems to be types that should have been interfaces from the beginning.

Tiny crusher of rocks, refuses to wear the shoes half the time though.

I’m going to try watching the second hobbit movie tonight. I was so upset by the first one that I abandoned them. 3 minutes in and I don’t understand why it looks so weird.

🇨🇦 not for sale.

Yesterday my 6yo gave a 3 minute talk in front of 150 strangers on fossil hunting in the Alberta Badlands as part of the lil trampoline hall lecture series, and I’m so very proud of him. I’d have exploded from nerves if it was me.

At this point I don’t even want to mend relations with America. We need to look for other partners and let America alone for a while. They need to clean up their shit.

We’ve got numbers! Lessgo! (I love watching elections, so exciting 😅)

Embarrassing to say I’ve been listening to this all day and it’s been highly effective. youtu.be/JRnDYB28bL8?...

Little dude pulling on plastic

Very annoyed that I’m working on a JS project and I can’t stop thinking about how much easier this would be in rails. My kingdom for typescript Active Record models.

I think it’s a good thing to hire junior programmers and help them learn on the job. I think it’s a bad thing to hire junior programmers and call them elite and giving them complete autonomy to dismantle the US government through sweeping changes they have no hope of even understanding.

One person’s over engineered is another person’s beautiful and elegant API. Good morning, I’m over engineering something.

We ran out of coffee so I just had a tea this morning and I’m still alive

It turns out that using a language app for 3 weeks before a trip once every few years is a bad way to learn a language.

3yo: I didn’t want my sausage cut up! You have to make me a new one. Me: makes a new one and puts it in front of her 3yo: thank you! Now cut it up.

Sitting here sketching ideas for an outdoor dining table while in the middle of the worst snow storm we’ve had in years 🫠

Such al fresco!

Randomly opened this cookbook to this page earlier today and I’ve been unable to close it or think of anything else all day.

If it is fresh, it is bread. Once a loaf is greater than 8 hours old it is no longer bread, it is raw toast.

Thought I was in the clear, everyone was better yesterday, but it got me in the night 💀

Holy shit. If you don’t know this history, listen to open.spotify.com/show/0sBh58h... the whole first season is relevant.

3/4 family is knocked out with a gastro infection. Thoughts and prayers for the last man standing please (it me)

Modern customer support is an AI chatbot telling you they don’t know how to help so they are forwarding you to a human followed by zendesk auto closing the issue with no way to respond. Looking at you @microsoft.com

My dog got a little scrape he just wouldn’t stop licking, so here we are. They’ve made great advancements in cone technology in the past few years.

4:30 on a Friday, press the ship button or don’t press the ship button?

I know that south of the border is very distracting, but Ontari-ari-ario-ians don’t forget we’ve got an election coming up! And the PC party thinks the most fiscally responsible thing to do is to make cities rip up bike lanes that they literally just built.

My personal gaming computer AND my personal work computer are getting old. Do I spend $$$ on a new computer and dual boot windows and Linux, or do I spend $$ and set up a remote dev environment 🤔
