The handmade, human qualities of your work are more valuable than they've ever been. Don't doubt that for a second.

After much research and development I have made an offline version of ChatGPT. Now you can save water and electricity while navel-gazing, and carry one of the world's most powerfully annoying AI chatbots in your pocket.

I love finding little software goofs in sites I use. This is why its a good idea to set up es linting rules for console.logs 🙃

I am increasingly of the opinion that people who change menus and look and feel of computer software just so that you know it's a new version should be personally forced to play tech support to my mother for five months.

well played, Walmart. well played

always gonna be a good day when the pink box from goldenrod bakery shows up in my kitchen!

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

I love this hat

Drove through 4 states today and made it to Kansas City for another little conference this weekend. And then I’m going home and not leaving my house for a week. Maybe two weeks. Maybe even longer.

Hahaha, needed this today!

This is the FIRST LOOK at the new badges for The @commityourcode.bsky.social Conference this year! This is an outtake from the video, but I couldn't stop laughing 😂😂😂 I truly didn't realize this about last year's badges 😂

120+ speakers. 2 full days. A $700 experience… for $49, and it is all donated to charity! Why? Because income should never be a barrier to your growth in tech. ✅ Every meal covered. ✅ Build your own agenda ✅ Online tickets? Always FREE. We poured our souls into this.

Just in case you need a little joy today: here are some lovely llama costumes from the 4-H costume contest at the State Fair 📸: Aaron Lavinsky/The Minnesota Star Tribune

made it. worth all the airport nonsense

I have not laughed this hard in a long time. A+ content

part of my resentment towards LLMs is to do with them crowding out anything else we could be talking about. there are so many things I could be reading to get better at my craft but I'm presented with "you should actually get worse at it on purpose because nothing matters any more"

there’s an election for Cat Mayor currently happening in Somerville, Mass. and every cat deserves to win

My cat (and also very much my mom’s cat) passed last November at the ripe old age of 20. She loved to lay in my mom’s flowerbeds so to commemorate her passing I made a little garden stone to mark where she’s buried and painted her portrait on it. It looks so cute resting in the summer flowers.

I didn’t really know what I wanted this account to be (personal? tech related?) but I’ve just now decided that I’m going to use this account to shame all of the bad site design I come across Take this for starters. Gosh, I’d really like to be able to see the navigation?! 😒 #annoyingUI #whoDidThis

weekend plans:

nothing gets me to close a website tab faster than getting immediately pelted with popups, chatbot messages and banners all blocking me from even viewing the homepage. nope. not dealing with that. 😤

Took a fun little midlife crisis “what should I do with my life” career test and it was surprisingly accurate! My profession is “being a perfectionist” and I think it’s pretty rude to just call me out like that. #ikigai #midlifecrisis

help, my pepperoni plant won’t stop procreating
