This is a brilliant idea! Considering the role of scheduler usually falls on moms (guilty here too). And routines are a PITA to put on a calendar, clogging up the view. Back when I ran TUAW, we loved to see stuff like this. Actual useful tech solutions! Remember those?

Im going to build an app for single mothers (married single mothers as well) to manage events and routines alone or along with whoever they have to support them I feel like there are sooo many features I could include; it’s hard to know where to begin!

1:1 with my VP Him: I set up this meeting expecting to talk you out of this idea, but you’ve somehow sold me. 😳 So, I’m gonna sell this to everyone else WITH you Me: hell ya 😏

I have a lot swirling in my mind about recent events & I’m posting it here bc (1) I need to talk about it (2) I’d normally reach out directly to friends but it’s not kind to just drop heavy emotional msgs on your friends before knowing their current emotional state (3) I’m not ashamed of my views

In honour of turning 38 today, here are thirty-eight things! "THING\n".repeat(38)

In honor of my 4-year Netflixaversary today, here are four things! THING THING THING THING

Showed this picture to my son this morning 7yo: …does he…not know how to do the robot? Me: I’m sure he does, but we were just supposed to stand there 7yo: so…he just didn’t *want* to do the robot?

Some of us have RBF Others have..Resting Robot Face 🤖

good day today @mikeryan.dev @scottmoss.bsky.social @blove.dev @shaundai.com @jamesqquick.bsky.social @brianmm.dev @davidedaniel.bsky.social @codetv.dev

Sales Shaundai learning to code: I cannot wait to I get my first eng role and finally not have to spend my entire day in meetings 😫 Engineering Shaundai: Okay, can everyone see my screen? 😫

Anyway I hip-thrusted a barbell more than 20 lbs heavier than me during my workout this morning Better talk to me nice today, or I’ll turn around too fast and knock ya monitor and all ya lil LEGO figures off ya desk 😏

Posting consistently & responding on socials actually taps my social battery just as much as going to a conference does 🥹 Just know.. if I suddenly start taking longer to text back or reply on socials, it’s bc I posted ONCE and now I’m in the fetal position listening to lofi beats til I’m recharged

Shaundai Person ❌ Shaun D., AI Person ✅

Every single time I get a rare, quiet moment to myself, I use it to remember something embarrassing I did a long time ago

I have a bunch of Zsh terminal command aliases I wrote But I keep forgetting the aliases 😂 is there something you’re already using to manage your aliases? I’d like an index with a text search that I can use to find specific commands (eg “start playwright ui”) with having to scroll down a list

I’d kick React Router in the neck if it was in front of me right now

~True story~ Me: *fighting a routing/forwarding bug in my code* Me: *remembers AI exists* Me: ChatGPT, here's my code. It's super broken. I am sad. Pls help. Chat: Girl! You. Are. A. GENIUS! GREAT JOB!!!! 👏🏾 👏🏾 ✨ Me: ...... Chat: yeah, no notes babe. You're good 😉

I’m about the same. The world has been messy my entire life, but my life is pretty damn good and I want to celebrate that in public more.

I know this is a very annoying thing to say online bc everyone hates everything here BUT I really love SO much about my life My son is off-the-charts amazing My parents and siblings..also off-the-charts My job and colleagues..a dream My friends..GOATs. Every single one Everything else..I LOVE IT 🥰

Someday, the events of this past decade will make a BLOCKBUSTER movie trilogy. People will be on the edge of their seats, I tell ya. Everyone will say “there’s no way that’s true! they must be exaggerating some parts!” but, alas. 🫩

My 7yo asked for some chores and an allowance and I spiraled 😅 What’s the going rate for child labor these days? 🥹 How often do their little instant-gratification-trained-brains expect a reward? 😒 If I pay him for chores, will I unintentionally raising a man who.. 1/3

I gave Gemini my desired macros and asked it to come up with a meal plan for me And that’s how I ended up eating human kibble for dinner I’m not mad at it though lol. I feel like such a lil gym bro spooning this quinoa and ground beef into my face 😌

They keep taking our best people 😭

Hey friends! I did a TEDx talk and it's now up on the TED Conferences YouTube. It's possibly the best and most important talk I've ever done. I would ask that you watch it, and please SHARE it broadly and widely. Thank you! youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg #AI #Tech #TED

Did you know there’s a Stranger Things show on Broadway? 👀

Thank you for the suggestion Shaundai! Just created this with AI landscape as the first section!

He told me today that he “has an app idea” that’s going to be “worth a billion dollars” and I’m “gonna help” him because I “know this kinda stuff” So…there’s the flip side of these interactions 😅💔

My fave quotes from friends last week: “You’ve made your past self proud” “People like us I don’t stay stuck living w/i the boundaries of what’s around us. We explore the universe of what could be possible” “Being productive !== overworking yourself” “Your gift is undeniable. Share it with love”

Some of you young folks don’t understand that there was once a time where it was so very uncommon to have video recordings of yourself that we’d be genuinely surprised at how our voice sounds Like, it was common to say “ugh please don’t get me on videotape! My voice sounds so weird! 🫣”

A man asked for my number yesterday and I instead gave him a detailed explanation of the state of open source Never been good at small talk lol

Documentation and unit test writing day 😭 I’m 😩 just 🥲 so 😒 excited 🫩

At least once every 6 months I post a ridiculous idea and suddenly I have two handfuls of tech leaders/creators in my inbox wanting to make it happen for real 😂 Two reasons I love having this problem: (1) it’s validating when ppl love your silly ideas (2) I’m reminded of how FUN my circle is 🎉

Someone should consider starting an eng podcast called “It Depends…” a show filled w/lukewarm takes, level-headed discourse about “the tradeoffs”, & examples of diff ways to solve the same problem. Every episode ends with 3 deep breaths & a parting reminder that we’re not exactly saving lives here

Me, doing Duolingo: Que quería decir eso 7yo: What does that mean? Me: What did that mean Me: lol

????

Spotify friends: we need a “never play any songs this problematic artist makes money from” feature

I used to have to be cautious talking about politics at work and in shared spaces bc I wanted to be respectful of other people’s beliefs and stances on big issues But it seems like literally everyone I’m around has VERY strong opinions and we’re all on the same side

I hate being wrong so much that I never do it 😞

Ahhh we’re all just a bunch of dorks and I really love us for that 🤩

As a girl who gets overstimulated by sounds (especially gross human sounds like chewing and swallowing), the whole entire ASMR genre could’ve skipped my lifetime 😅

Me: 🎶🗣️CALL ME THE SERIOU-🎶 Siri: *pauses music* Mmhmm? girl HUSH and stop interrupting the concert

Happy birthday to one of my most favorite friends I’ve ever met!!! @jason.energy, you bring something so incredibly rare & special to this world, and I’m not just talking about unhinged projects. I’m abundantly grateful for the laughs, the advice, & the giant hugs 🎂 You mean so much to me! 💛

Conversations with a kid who loves Minecraft 7yo: what if, after you d*e, you RESPAWN as a baby? Me: you just conceptualized reincarnation, kiddo —— 7yo: there’s a spider in my room Me: that’s your friend. She’ll protect you by eating all the bugs. She’s an Iron Golem in your village now

Idk this may be wishful and unrealistic thinking but can we all just relax for a sec

Moment of transparency: I posted earlier about crying in front of my manager It was because she asked me if I finally felt safe enough to have this year be the year I “expose my messiness.” Meaning, do I feel enough emotion safety to FINALLY be full myself. And finally, I do ❤️

I, a formerly hyper-independent person, asked for help twice today The world didn’t end. It got better. I learned things I would’ve never learned if I hadn’t asked. You know what that is? Growth.

I’m such an emotional girlie. Just cried in a 1:1 with my manager telling her how much I love her 😂 Also, I cried so ugly that I ACTUALLY looked at myself in the preview screen on Meet, said “ew” out loud, and then got right back into my monologue

So glad to meet you in person @shaundai.com! #Netflix

At least once a week I’m imitating this gif for some reason 😂 Just wanted y’all to know that about me
