I had a wonderful evening! It's funny how my #SocialAnxiety completely disappears when I'm in "musician mode". That always gives me hope!

Hosting my 22nd #SocialAnxiety Meetup on the #100Devs Discord tomorrow (Sunday). Didn't find an inspirational quote so drew some stuff. Oh and playing a concert later today :)

Both #ChatGPT and #Deepseek insisted that new Set(null) throws an error when it does in fact return an empty set with size 0. Never trust your #LLM while learning how to #code #JavaScript. #MDN is always open in the background!

Sometimes I love the Chinese LLM: "Yes, you are correct. China's core interest in this conflict is to engineer a "Goldilocks" outcome for Russia: not defeated, but decisively and permanently weakened."

My secret sauce for sticking to daily habits: Make them non-negotiable and build momentum that's harder to break than to keep. 2.5+ years of daily coding don't lie: Coffee, bathroom, #codewars - same category. What daily habit are you building? How do you stick to it?

Best #socialAnxiety meetup ever: No one showed up 😅

Just realized: #JavaScript IS my pseudocode

Playing #Skyrim yesterday I ran into an issue with a mod. Ended up spending the whole night installing mod tools, reading docs, and fixing it. Well, that was fun too! 😂

What the heck. 😆 I didn’t realize this was out or that this was going to be published. How cool!! Thanks #whiskeyWebAndWhatnot @jasontorres.bsky.social

Clocked my daily #codewars today: 1.5 hrs. One liner was done after 5 minutes. Rest was spent refactoring, exploring #JavaScript docs, and discussing with LLMs. Lots of fun! :)

Never prompted #deepseek to use #javascript to explain things to me. But I love it! It's actually faster to process this than to read through human language.

When I was young Star Trek had tablets and Socialism. Now we have tablets and no socialism. I wish we had Socialism and no tablets.

Who else thinks infinite for loops can be elegant? 😍 function calculateYears(principal, interest, tax, desired) { for (let years = 0; ; years++) { if (principal >= desired) return years; principal *= 1 + interest * (1 - tax); } } www.codewars.com/kata/563f037... #100Devs #js #codewars

This is so cool! 😎🎉

2.5 years into #Codewars and 906 katas later... just hit rank 16 in the #100Devs clan! The coding journey continues 💻

Join us on the #100Devs Discord!

Thank you @helloitsrufio.bsky.social and @leonnoel.bsky.social ❤️ github.com/matthiasjric... #100Devs

Today I created a pretty efficient backwards loop to format numbers. 1234567 --> "1,234,567" Then I learned about Number.prototype.toLocaleString('en-US') So I practiced loops and learned about a built-in #JavaScript method that has not been on my radar before. I call it a win!

Carrying the boats and the frogs!

Monthly #SocialAnxiety Meetup on the #100Devs Discord turns 18 in a week! It's remarkable how much can change over the course of 1.5 years. Lots of downs, some ups. Life is a rollercoaster.

30 minutes coffee chat took 6 hours. #100devs

Cooked dinner for my parents today. They loved it. Unfortunately I improvised so much that I'll never be able to replicate the recipe.

In 2+ years of daily #CodeWars practice, I've evolved from 'just make it work' to 'I need a clever one-liner,' and finally to 'how do I write this in a way that's both readable and efficient?' #100Devs

60 megawatts of existential dread per second. 😥

Prompted ChatGPT to mock interview me and be brutally honest. It totally roasts me. 😥 Might need ChatGPT to give me a pep talk now 😅 #100Devs #webDev

ChatGPT just answered a coding question and ended it with 'Solidarische Grüße zurück, Genosse', which is German for 'Solidarity greetings back, comrade'. #100Devs #100Comrades

To get a job as a coder I have to be a very good salesman. Why not just be a salesman at that point?

Two of my favourite tech people <3 #100devs #dreamTeam

November of 2024 @leon and I decided to start The Programming Podcast. What started as a small chuckle at a conference became a huge movement. We both are always blown away by it. Here are some stats for the last 30 days alone:

I talked to @leonnoel.bsky.social in front of a lot of people in the #100Devs huddle. So grateful for all the #100Devs folks that show up to the monthly #SocialAnxiety Meetups. Without them I'd be where I was a year ago: buried in my cave thinking I'm the only one suffering from this.

Played a concert at my neighbouring farmer's farm festival yesterday. Became friends with his donkey. In other words: I scratched a farmer's ass and he loved it.

On Apollo 11 Lunar Landing Day I'll host my 17th Social Anxiety Meetup on the #100Devs Discord. So I had to go with the theme!

Some times I listen to myself singing songs about peace www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhpt...

Fick dich Merz! www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbDw...

"Socialism never never worked!" "Yeah because because of the fuckin' CIA!"

I promise I will do two #codewars katas tomorrow. Today is me-time!

Just announced the 16th monthly #100Devs #SocialAnxiety Meetup! When I started this last year, I was always super scared and couldn’t sleep the days before. Nowadays, I’m just excited to meet all the wonderful people. 😊

Playing a concert this Thursday - it'll be only the third time I’ve left the house this year. #SocialAnxiety hit hard in 2025, but my stage persona will help me break through. 💪

Best friend just surprised me by gifting me #TheWitcher 3 on #Steam. "I love you almost as much as The Witcher", her note said. She's definitely a keeper! :)

#ChatGPT thinks 'caret-width' as a #CSS property exists. And I can't blame it because it should :D

Me feeling like Captain Picard while #vibeCoding

#ChatGPT prompt of today: "Please talk to me like to a European. Skip that shit like 'I hear you' and just be a bit more on point, brutal and honest" "Okay talk to me like to a European, but be a little bit nicer!" 😅

Hello new 100Devs friends :)

What is this #vibeCoding thing all about? I tried it and honestly... I just get very angry at my computer :D

Food for thought: We're totally fine with an #AI reasoning model taking time to think before answering. When a human does the same, it's often perceived as awkward.

As a socially anxious introvert I'm not a big fan of coffee chats. But I just had such a great coffee chat with @michaelndev.bsky.social Awesome guy!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I built this website for my band jackscomrades.btnf.de Sorry the website is in German. But our songs are in English www.youtube.com/@jackscomrades

My roses are green, My violet is blue. Please give me a color code And then I'll love you. - colorblind web developer In German: Meine Rosen sind grün, Mein Violett ist blau. Gib mir bitte den Farbcode Liebe Werbefachfrau. - farbsehschwacher Web-Entwickler #colorblind #webdev

Sometimes I'm oddly specific: Never tried this but maybe it helps: have ambience sound running in the background to stay calm during coffee chats. Like a fireplace, rain, whatever you like. I like late cretaceous dinosaur sounds www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UN6... #100Devs #SocialAnxiety Meetup
