Walking through the streets of Amsterdam last night I was asked: “do you want some cocaine?” And I responded “No, thank you” because manners matter, folks.

It's been four days since Nashville was thoroughly molly whopped by Miami, so I think I have enough distance to think clearly. But I have negative interest in going to another one of those games. The vibes were just very, very weird. And sports fans bowing to a player? Truly bananas behavior.

Our current goal is to find a non-Messi Miami jersey at this Nashville SC vs. Miami match. Been a half an hour, so far the count is 0

86% of the way there! Betcha we can put 'em over the edge! www.gofundme.com/f/support-na...

Real ones go to preseason games

LET’S GOOOOOOOO

Not gonna lie, Austin having a train that goes directly to the station gives them a huge advantage over Nashville

Nothing like a calendar invite on Sunday evening to a Monday morning event called "Town Hall: Important Company Announcement" 🙈

THE BUS BOYS

We’re live!! My brand-new course, “Whimsical Animations”, is now available. 🥳🎉 whimsy.joshwcomeau.com I’m so excited to share all of my animation tools and techniques with y’all. 😄

Big game 2 tonight at 6:30! We'll be back at Chapstick, c'mon out!

Lacking bus stop infrastructure and the removal of downtown benches has fueled a guerilla bench movement, bringing together a new coalition to build and place wooden benches across the city.

$11 tickets and a free bus ride? Don’t mind if we do!

Great night at Chapstick watching Phoenix knock off the champs with the official Nashville Mercury Fan Club ☄️☄️☄️

See ya, Hulu

This weekend we took public transit from New York City to a Philadelphia Phillies game. In Philadelphia. Then we flew home and our airport was basically shut down because of cars. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Don't like the speed cushions that are going up around Nashville? LPT: busses are wide enough they can zoom right over them and you won't feel a thing!

Nice day out? Don’t mind if I do.

Audible laughter in our section when they announced the cooling break #EveryoneN

Great night in Louisville watching the Current keep up the winning ways (and thanks for the tickets @kansascitycurrent.bsky.social 💃🏻🕺🏻💃🏻). #KCBaby

At Belmont for the Dolly musical and they’re selling booze??? It’s gotta be a trap, right?

"Lee touted the plan as the future of commuting"

If you’re gonna jump out of your seat on the plane in front of folks you shouldn’t also get to walk really slowly up the jetbridge.

In San Diego for the match, these folks might be the nicest sports fans ever. They’re all pumped we came all this way #EveryoneN

Love going to NSC games, it’s something we look forward to every year. But the club’s response last night was phenomenally out of touch and not something I want to support. Just let the club know that, and renewing our seats is going to be a really big ask given that. #EveryoneN

Not bad, Italy!

On sabbatical from work and treated myself to an Amtrak trip from Miami to Chicago. Now just dreaming of a world where I could take a train to Memphis or Knoxville, can you imagine???

Plus fare capping??? WeGo is growing up, love it!

Asked if the Messi of it all was too much they said “why would you think that?”

We have a recurring donation to CRC because we like what they do. Not anywhere close to as big as a million bucks, but if you have the space (or an employer match) take a look at 'em and see if it's something you feel like you could support 🦞

If there is one lesson I wish everyone, especially who are in high salary roles in tech; is that layoffs can happen at any time and you need to have a healthy amount of cash set aside in an emergency fund so you can at least weather part of the storm.

Over the break hacked together a little wrapper around Geogussr to automate the creation of daily challenges for coworkers (and track the scores across the week). Started with All The Normal FE Things and end up with * Index.php * main.js * main.css kinda nice to keep it vanilla 🙈

My latest talk on Understanding Complexity is up on the Youtubes now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNOj... (The actual talk starts at the 8-minute mark)

I have $$$ left in my Learn Something (I.e. continuing education) stipend this year. Any good programming/industry books that would be worth picking up? Prefer e-books that I can get onto a kindle in some way (so, either direct or compatible) 👀

Nashville SC stunk it up last season, so season ticket members are getting rewarded 🫠 images.mlssoccer.com/image/upload...

Maybe we're moving to a world where writers are going to actually have to write some content for their articles.

It's Sunday ☀️ and a new issue of Frontend at Scale is on its way to your inboxes right. about. now! This week, we're talking about architecture testing, why most projects take forever, and why I have an "office organization" folder with 600 bookmarks. Check it out 👇 frontendatscale.com/issues/36/

My latest blog post covers how a simple observation at airport security highlights the concept of Betterment and how it applies to engineering teams. Which group are you in? angiejones.tech/the-betterme...

Now that I've got a minute, a quick thread on the transit referendum. The final margin was 183,108 to 96,305. That's a 2-1 margin and a beatdown by any measure. 1/
