idk if there's some kind of memory leak with firefox but it's been eating up so much of my memory lately

The performance on GitHub when reviewing a large PR is atrocious. It takes a good 3s to load the comment boxes and it's been going up as time goes on. This is *painful*

I love when massive platforms have overlooked errors

can someone explain to my cats daylights savings so they don’t harass me an hour early for food every morning now

Idk if there’s anyone who’s familiar with swimming here but i’m doing my first long course meet today and omg am i nervous 😭

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! 🙂

My birthday is this Saturday, November 1, which is consequently also when SNAP benefits run out for millions of Americans. I know you a lot of you don’t know me, but the best birthday gift you could give is donating to your local food bank. Donating food, money, or your time is so valuable.

I'm embarrassed to say it took me far too long before realizing that R Studio is not from post-it the note pads

using a laptop that isn't 6 years old and having the battery almost full still after 2 hours of light work is pretty nice

i feel for anyone who's on call today bc yikes

it wild knowing that i can walk into a pharmacy and get the flu/covid vaccines without a second thought but americans need to make sure their insurance will actually cover it (assuming they even can???)

sent my dad a restaurant i thought he might wanna go visit some day he says ok come over let’s go for so i guess im not gonna need to make food now

I'm redoing my personal site and I have to say I'm really inspired by @antfu.me's. It's the perfect blend of showing off his work and showcasing who he is. Eg. the whole media list really makes me happy because I love knowing about people outside of their tech lives, too 🥹

got laid off due to restructuring :( i’m now available for mid+ frontend developer/software engineering positions in the meantime, we’re back to building the future and fun on the web on atproto :)

things are a bit better today

syncthing is doing some heavy lifting transferring files from my parents old computer to their new one. their old PC is fighting it every step of the way too 😭

Some days I get sad seeing my code be messed up then other days I see GitHub still has stuff like this and I cut myself slack

No one can tell me that AI has improved the support experience. Trying to talk to the bot doesn't help you and to get to a human you have to talk to a bot!!!!!! Why are we relying on this!!!!!!!!!

Been a bit quiet lately. Since my March layoff, I've been focused on finding my next role and not getting rusty. Honestly, this job hunt sucks. My bank account is running on fumes, and I'm honestly starting to lose hope and feel incredibly demoralized.

incoming heat wave 😅

History is written by the victors. And by all accounts, React won. Today we set the record straight. "What Every React Developer Should Know About Signals" www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgGl...

happy canada day to all my fellow canadians 🇨🇦

i’m not built for heat 😩

I have a fantastic resume of someone whose code + system design chops have saved a very big company millions of dollars of infra spend. Visa help needed, ideally in Seattle. Please lmk if you have an opening!

the forest fire situation atm is not great here

here's hoping edmonton doesnt decide to take a vacation during this game

my favourite programming language is markdown

i’m just looking to be successful enough to give my cats a whole catio

i’ve also started making sourdough. started from my own starter to these 🥲 they’re my 2nd and 3rd loaves

i might not be employed but i can make pizza still so that’s one thing i’ve got going for me

happy friday to everyone but companies who ghost you during the job application process

I thought nine perfect strangers was a single season show… But jfc, do these people like to prove me wrong when it comes to stuff like this

Man, Vancouver has a huge conference next weekend and I’d love to go but $900 a ticket is outrageous 😭

I've been streaming for about 3 years, pre-recorded conference talks/demos, but making a video was a completely different experience. But here is my first attempt at one. Let's talk JavaScript Frameworks: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAci...

Playoff hockey is really top tier

where’s a petition i can sign to get rid of all leaf blowers

Idk what it is about baking but i swear i follow a recipe to a T and next thing you know i have twice as much as they said i should. Someone’s lying here and i know it isn’t me

Another stellar resource from Corbin 😮‍💨 If you didn't know, Corbin puts out amazing (free!!) content about so many things with @playfulprogramming.com and you should definitely check it out

Since I lost my job in March, between applying to new ones I've been taking the time to review the basics of JS again because I feel like I've gotten rusty on the why's and how's. That being said, it's rly nice to see how much of the stuff I haven't used every day has stayed cemented in.

Hey Canada. Go VOTE! 🇨🇦 It's very important

Happy election day everyone! 🗳️✅🇨🇦. Polls open at 9:30am and close at 8:30pm (EST). I hope we elect a party focused on smashing our branch-plant brained Canadian mindset. Let's get a government focused on supporting domestic economic growth and innovation. Let's unleash our talent + ideas. 🇨🇦❤️

I told myself I wouldn’t play Oblivion until I finish Skyrim and the DLCs and it’s becoming increasingly more difficult to keep that promise to myself 😭

For the first time in my life I was asked what my marital status was in a job app..........

I now understand why people think Docker and Windows is a pain

Not only is shrinkflation happening, but companies aren't even filling containers up to the same levels they were before making them smaller. Cooooool

RIP Discord
