I don’t have time (or desire) to micromanage engineers, I certainly don’t have time or desire to micromanage AI agents. #rant

Currently letting my toddler blow dry my hair while I’m sipping coffee. Even if I end up looking like a deranged Ace Ventura I think I’m ok with this activity. It’s cheaper than a blow out bar …

are you even married to a man if you don't have to threaten him with bodily harm over things like not putting back permanent markers or scissors where he found them?

I am looking for a full-time job. Being independent in open source for 3.5+ years has been wonderful. I've gotten done most of the high-level goals I wanted to, and miss having people & structure around me. If you know of a role for a staff-level TypeScript+web developer, let me know! 🙂

Me pretty much any time we're coordinating playdate times:

Im not a fan of book banning but also I found out Dave Ramsey writes children’s books recently …

Pretty sure i just spent 20 minutes of a zoom call unknowingly unmuted and cough hacking next to the mic, so yeah, I’m clearly girlbossing closer to Jupiter than the sun today 🫠

Things my husband has said “no” to this week that I’m sad about 1. Buying one of those real looking life size dinosaurs from that NJ theme park selling them on FB marketplace for our toddler 2. Cooking and eating the giant chicken of the woods mushroom growing in our backyard 😢

I joined @wordman.dev on @weeklybrew.dev to talk about interaction patterns, CSS & UI capabilities, and AI ✨ youtu.be/ZuorSGOwpKk?...

I have no doubt where our toddler got her stubbornness from after watching @wordman.dev fight with the fire tv remote for the last 35 minutes. He’s still losing.

Halfway through my morning coffee trying to explain to @wordman.dev what a bralette is not going well 😂

I don’t understand why we still have to rely on coal energy when we could just put toddlers on hamster wheels instead.

Me: “hey, Trader Joe’s has Sweet Corn, Burrata & Basil Ravioli” @wordman.dev: “that sounds pretty fucking slutty” Guess we have a Trader Joe’s run to do this weekend.

Millennials, are we categorizing using a power washer as therapy or hobby?

I'm not going to disclose how many times I've watched this today but it's a lot www.youtube.com/watch?v=CboK...

Show me a more infuriating and effective gaslighter than a toddler. I’ll wait while mine screams “no pancakes” then demands them back as soon as we take them off her plate.

If you’re ever wondering what time contractors will show up to do work on your house project, it’s always 1 minute into you trying to put your baby down for a nap. You’re welcome.

My toxic trait is getting really excited for new Jurassic Park movies and then being disappointed when they invariably suck

I had a stupid smile on my face the whole trailer. Millennial parents - this hits hard.

I have been barfed on by both our children today 🫠

We just ran a test on having Claude and ChatGPT evaluate and rank resumes of candidates we've interviewed. The good news - the LLMs didn't do any better gauging candidates than we did. The bad news - the LLMs didn't do any better gauging candidates than we did ... so

Our 2.5 year old is telling me dinosaur names and just correctly named a gallimimus … 🤯

Started watching secret lives of Mormon wives and asked @wordman.dev to look up some Momtok videos so I could have context for the show and now his algorithm is f*cked 😬🤣

Incoming rant: You should be able to select technicians/installers/whatever based on if they have kids or not, so when they call you on a holiday weekend asking if they can show up 2 hours before your scheduled appointment time and you agree to immediately leave the park with your two small

When I see a typescript codebase using enums...

Do i have a poltergeist or a toddler?

The word “login” comes from throwing a log attached to a rope with knots overboard a ship to see how many knots go by over time (see also, knots as speed). You’d then put that info in the “log book.” You’d “log in” on a regular basis. This wasn’t from 1959, it was likely from 1689! Etymology baby!

Possible hot take: A sign of a healthy engineering culture is one where team members feel comfortable making memes and emojis in the likeness of their Engineering Managers or Directors.

What Servant Leadership looks like to me - doing small quality of life things on behalf of your direct reports so they have more cognitive bandwidth to focus on the real work work. Example: sending them a calendar invite to ensure they won't get accidentally scheduled for an interview on a holiday.

eight years ago today we all watched the glory of zendaya falling madly in love with tom holland and the internet was never the same

I didn’t blow dry my hair all the way this morning and my toddler was very concerned. I asked her to fix my hair, so she ran around looking for her hairbrush. When she couldn’t find it she came back with a screwdriver instead to “fix it”. 🤣🤣🤣 toddler brains are great
