So many new friends in tech have been on the @freecodecamp.bsky.social podcast this year. I’m spending the rest of the year catching up. Let me know of any other can't miss episodes.

Something something like this.

In case you didn't know... Both male & female Reindeer grow antlers, but males lose them in late Autumn. All Santa’s reindeer are therefore female, which means Rudolph is persistently misgendered.

I can relate, Murderbot. I can relate. #murderbot #slyart

Los Angeles is trending because it’s raining or it’s Nakatomi Eve. Either way, I love living in L.A.. We’ve had a challenging year, so to all my Angelinos— Merry Christmas 🎄💙

I decided to try to be elegant and use cursive to write out a holiday card instead of my usual hybrid approach. Some letters, like lowercase 's', didn't look right. I tried to practice and accidentally did it on the envelope! So someone's not getting the card in an envelope. 🙃

The party was here. 19hrs and counting. I think he stepped it up @sesm3.bsky.social. With @amandamartin.bsky.social and Diana Pham!

Come watch Christmasaire with @jasontorres.bsky.social and hang for chat and raffle prizes during his 24hr stream. I just won something!

Words to remember.

It was great to run into my #techcommunity friends and meet new ones at DevFest. #100devs came out! @vishalicious213.bsky.social @chrizz.bsky.social @junbee.bsky.social

On average, a cancer diagnosis costs $40k out of pocket. Paula has already been through that twice. Now, she waits to find out if this is a third time because doctors won't even diagnose her until she pays huge bills that her insurance should be covering.

When you hear about Big Tech companies lobbying the federal government to stifle AI regulation in the states, this is one reason why.

Another favorite talk of mine at #CYC25 was hearing @marktechson.com's heartfelt talk on the wave of AI. It wasn't about the narrative that developers are done. But our ability to add value beyond code. This is not the race to replace. A 200mph race car is only as good as the driver. 🔥 Link below!
