I came back from speaking at @renderatl.com energized and full of ideas. The byproduct of a few months development in my free time and some writing, I learned how to create an Astro.js blog, host it with Github pages, and point it at a custom domain. Start your journey. startst.art/posts/2025/a...

Make a band singular: Gorilla

Image: nailed it. Text: needs improvement.

Dragon fruit flowers are intense.

Cursor: I see you're using custom CSS. Let me just... transition: color 0.3s ease; ...to every class with a color.

AI tools when they try to edit "vanilla" CSS. Works 100% of the time 50% of the time.

This is going to be so rad!

I was asked how I prep my homegrown potatoes. The answer is: simply. 1. Cut into small nickel sized chunks. 2. Coat in tiny amount of olive oil. 3. Season medium heavily (I like Trader Joe’s Everyday Seasoning). 4. Air fry for 25-30 minutes until fork ready. 5. Eat

Pull potatoes from the soil is one of life’s remaining surprises.

Another successful #renderatl thanks to this guy’s vision and his amazing team. @thugdebugger.dev

Not only did I have the opportunity to speak at #renderatl but I was able to point at pictures of myself in the Intuit sponsored spaces. It was surreal to walk into pictures of myself, to say the least.

Pure adrenaline workout while giving a talk at #renderatl

So many rooftops to party on at #renderatl this year.

Seeing @choir241.bsky.social is always an amazing time.

Early morning flight to #renderatl has me

Your PR leaves the CI train station at 9am. Another PR that will disrupt your build leaves the station at 10am. What time will your PR arrive at its destination?

Whaaaaat? @renderatl.com is 3 days away?!! #renderATL

Cursor rules are like announcements before a thrill ride for the LLM. It will sometimes put its hands and feet outside the ride. But you can try to warn it not to.

The greatest example of path dependence effecting you today.

Wait, this guy is talking about Design System components from an Eng perspective? GTFO. Actually, get the F in and join me for an incredible ride at @renderatl.com this June 11-13th.

Dudes checking your phone at the urinal: why?

Nothing like growing your own potatoes, pulling a few up, and frying them with oil and seasonings in an air fryer. The taste of instant gratification.

Fight Cub

Conference attendees and talk givers: Do you prefer light or dark background code examples and code demos?

As a vanilla CSS purist, I had the hardest time understanding the draw to shadcn but I had an aha moment last night while I played around with it. Super powerful stuff for building reusable components.

git stash pop is my favorite git command. It makes a specific sound in my brain as my code pops back onto the screen.

Weed whacking should be an Olympic sport.

With that, I wrap up editing my novel.

Ahhhhh! Ok, I’m posting. I’m feeling a little feclempt. I’ll give you a topic: TailwindCSS is neither a tailwind or a CSS. Talk amongst yourselves.

Riding that post-conference high straight into building the ultimate tech talk. Currently taking my creative writing and mixing it with my improv skills and my tech prowess. I’m in the flow state now.

At least the Bevi water dispenser at work has a sense of humor this morning. Can’t decide if I want the gold flavored water or the aged cheddar. 🤣

Also got to bond with @sstew.art over Karaoke at #EpicWebConf Wonderful human and so much fun to hang around!

It’s official official! I could not be more ecstatic to share this talk with y’all! Get your tickets to RenderATL if you haven’t already: www.renderatl.com/tickets

Pretty sure @eveporcello.com and I are twins separated at birth. I am still laughing, just thinking about our side-splitting conversation at Epic Dev Conf.

Such a delight to see this. We’re always striving to deliver beautiful designs for our customers. From crafted templates down to the atomic level.

Such a meta / creative talk from @eveporcello.com and Kira Corbett. Building a KIRA presentation AI that built a pitch detection AI.

Still reeling from the paradigm shift delivered by @marktechson.com to close out Epic Dev Conf.

These two dev rels know what’s up. With @anniesexton.com and @bytesofbree.bsky.social at Epic Dev Conf

I’m fairly certain that the SLC airport has hired someone to complement you on your way into TSA. We need this EVERYWHERE.

Oh man, Epic Dev Conf was amazing! I’m still in awe of the talks that inspired me and the incredible people I met.

@leaht.codes killing it in her first tech talk!
