I wanted to try to go and play more PoGo but blizzard absolutely keeping me from this. Guess I gotta find my watch and try to do some adventure sync inside

Gonna be solo for a few weeks and first day is supposed to be major snow storm? I hate this 😭

I bought myself a preconstructed Magic Commander deck and got to play with my IRL friend. I think I’ve surprised him that I do know how to play. He isn’t a big fan of my heinous work with Bello 😅 BUT we’re having fun and that’s what matters!

hi friends, I’m about to be low internet for the next week or so!! I would love it so much if you could tell your amazing Bay Area Eng leader folks about this job, which closes 2/24!! that way when I get back to my inbox it will be full up with lovely applications 🙏🏻❤️

Catch me on the main stage at RustWeek for the first time! I’ll be speaking on programming languages as a community of belonging, how our perception of what being a programmer has changed over time, and what that means for our communities in the future

Happy Friday! Lots of folks in tech are looking for work right now, so here's a thread of some tech for good (or at least, hopefully not explicitly evil) roles I found around the web.

Also to be clear, I am not here to make a judgement or value call on your personal/work usage of AI. Do what you want I can’t stop you. I have to use it for my work 🤷🏾‍♂️ But what I will challenge you in, how can we make an equitable system for each other. Don’t ignore that just because it is fun.

Personally, I find the usage of AI in a corporate setting regularly enables the worst behaviors to be amplified and rewarded. A lot of people care about output vs quality or correctness. And at scale, producing incorrect things is disastrous network effects.

Still sits as one of my favorite tools to use. Glad to see more features always coming! It’s comprehensive for testing lots of things I do in the Web. Excited to get back to doing more frontend bits to leverage all the project environment updates!

Love to go through node_modules and update code at 4:39AM. That’s where we’re at today

Braving The tundra to see the Broadway version of Death Becomes Her. Whew sub 10 degrees F ain’t it but the show was worth it to see Michelle Williams!

This is my goto reaction right now

I really want to play Path of Exile on the Steamdeck but every time I try it is just so bad. I don’t want to play it only on the desktop. Like I was hopeful but the only way I can go through those Diablo like games is not being plopped at the desk since they are soooooo boring

Played some MTG and played with Hazel and finally got to see what it is like to put on shenanigans with tokens. Holy moly

Three new workshops are up over on Rust Adventure: www.rustadventure.dev A Quick Start to Rust, Flappy Bird, and Block Breaker.

Getting some LOTR time with the friends before the snow

Having some trouble sleeping and so classic time for me to do my early morning anime watch. I’m back at the beginning of Yu Yu Hakusho and honestly such a wild first episode that still makes me shed a tear

Tonights channel, check it out stream.place/bobbby.online

Shrek the Musical is getting me through today

Last random thought for the day as I begin my late night reading to tire the brain: I read through some code earlier today and it was funny seeing similar mistakes I previously made by other people and that without the right guidance that’s what you get.

“I have no idea what I’m doing okay” Professionally marking myself in a repo I should not have permissions to

I have some contracting space opening up. I'll make a different post about it with more details but if you already know what I do and have a project you think I'd be good for feel free to reach out.

Some large noodle bowls that came out over the holidays. #pottery One has a slight glaze blemish, but otherwise I'm happy with them. Using Rocky Mountain BMX clay.

Hello internet friends, it's rough out there so I found y'all some tech jobs that have positive (or at least, less evil) impacts on the world. Here's a thread of what I've found for you this week ⬇️

Sometimes, I get really sad that I don’t have a screenless hobby but other times I’m truly happy to live in a time where I can build things that help me solve my own problems even if there are other solutions. This to me helped me learn so much about technology that I regularly interact with

Got some updates if you were curious on my little hardware project, giving myself a little home automation for my washer. Started with getting the board and understanding what I can do with it

Did my first k8s production deployment setup ever (thankfully for no real users) and accidentally hit a predefined quota for the pods we can spin up. 😇 not every one tagging me to let me know I set off a little alert for hundreds of CPUs spinning up LOLZ

“I have to turn on my bad bitch and serve” Hun 😂

Welp this season gets interesting

The amount of internal software that just has broken responsive support? Astronomical. “But it is just FRONTEND IT IS SO EASY” yeah but when all of your tools can’t handle a normal window size don’t come for me

Does anyone here use BookFusion?

I finally finished Fever House. A Little spooky, a little action, a good time!

It's a brand new year and loads of y'all are looking for work, so here's a thread of tech jobs I've seen in my online wandering that have tech for good (or at least minimally evil) vibes:

come by astoria food pantry on monday nights, 6-8pm, to pick up new-to-you books and/or donate your old books! you can also donate food, menstrual pads, and reusable bags during this time! xo!

If you say some stupid shit I’m just blocking you. I’m not the one or the two.

Building up my digital library in Calibre. Still learning how to use it but at least happy to have all my books around!

I need to figure out a way to make my washer and dryer to link to some smart device. They don’t make sounds and I NEED some way to know when they are done. Me and the bf are easy to forget if we don’t get reminders 😂😭

I wrote a little bit of the year. Honestly kinda last second but writing it was still kinda cool to see what went down. Unedited but before 2025 is over so it's cool right LOL prince.dev/blog/2025-re...

My least favorite UI enhancement that has happened is little logs collapsing sections but not letting me find any possible way to see the complete log anywhere. Just a little step with a segment exposed but nothing else. Literally watching GHA just spin forever and wanting to just UGHHHHH

I would like one night of good sleep this week please lol. Coughing because I can feel something in my throat is the worst

What are some of your favorite Christmas movies to watch? I’m making the bf watch some while we still recover lol. Currently the 2000s Grinch (he hasn’t seen which I had no idea)

Sweating out the cold does wonders for me lolol

🥲 second time of snow shoveling

Merry Christmas to me and my 100.1 fever hehehe

lol

Honestly said every Friday I want to do one task for myself. And last Friday I saved a minute of execution by changing some tests. And I still am trying to figure out how to frame it to others. Like I save almost 5-10% of execution time on like ~20 lines changed and how LONG they stayed there.

And now all the hairs have been cut

Tried to make sure I was warm and remembered as I got into into the station “oh yeah this is stuff that like stays” so welcome to snow in the fro weather
