@merycodes @scrumtuous @TheJackForge Probably even for most senior devs. But I guess most EU employees have much better benefits (healthcare, retirement plan, job security, etc) so it’s hard to compare, although I do think it’s lagging behind US tech on average.

@simplebits Cool! Like the Type one especially. Almost ordered one, but unfortunately shipping to Europe (NL) is more than the shirt itself (you probably can’t do anything about that).

@NuxtNation I’m only able to view something by going to Videos. Live stream link from Home still not working

[Marco Slooten @MarcoSlooten]

@NuxtNation Still getting redirected to homepage, is that the same for all?

[Marco Slooten @MarcoSlooten]

@MichaelThiessen @vuejs I did like Mastering Nuxt to fill those gaps left by the docs, although I did a speedrun instead of regular pace.

[Marco Slooten @MarcoSlooten]

@MichaelThiessen @vuejs For Vue mainly the official docs, I feel they are pretty darn good. Note that I'm an experienced dev that recently switched to Vue, so a bit harder to tell how it is for beginners.

Nuxt is a different story, especially with 3.x the docs feel kinda incomplete.

@brandontroberts I also try to always explain why I’m requesting a certain change or why I’m asking for clarification on something. I think PRs are good for sharing knowledge, too.

[Marco Slooten @MarcoSlooten]

@brandontroberts Usually I try to use ‘we’ because it’s a team and a shared responsibility. I’m also not against doing that specific change myself if really needed. I do sometimes need to phrase it more blunt / direct since English is not the native language of most of us.

[Marco Slooten @MarcoSlooten]

@foxy_proxy Cool, what is everything? :-) I know I've seen some of those before.

Using only food, where did you grow up?

using only food, where did you grow up

[Marco Slooten @MarcoSlooten]

@brad_frost Yeah, same for me. Got bummed out when not closing circles and don’t want notifications. Went back to a nice analog watch.

[Marco Slooten @MarcoSlooten]

@ScottExies Yeah, for amateurs like me it's great, just not feasible to use a real amp at home.

BTW only discovered The Exies a week ago, don't know why it took me so long but I'm loving what I'm hearing!

@WamplerPedals @iheartguitar Oh shit, they are expensive now! A few years back it wasn’t even worth it to sell it. Anybody wants one? 😉

[Marco Slooten @MarcoSlooten]

@Rich_Harris @jlengstorf That looks super good. I’ll be trying that one out next time.

@flaviocopes Can’t have enough guitars. Keep it 🤘🏼

@SachaGreif I’ve gone from 13” MBP to 16”, love the extra screen real estate (but it’s big…). If you’re on external monitor I’d say it doesn’t matter.

[Marco Slooten @MarcoSlooten]

@flaviocopes Polls are not always skewed, but they will be if you don’t have a random sample of people to participate (like is happening here).

[Marco Slooten @MarcoSlooten]

@neiltyson So it turns out ‘feest’, through its Latin origins, also has some religious connotation. I guess practically unavoidable, and not a big deal (just like holidays).

[Marco Slooten @MarcoSlooten]

@neiltyson In Dutch we say ‘fijne feestdagen’ which roughly translates to ‘happy celebration days’, which I quite like.

[Marco Slooten @MarcoSlooten]

@andrewgmartin @neiltyson Not an expert, but I don’t think so. It seems to stem from Latin: https://t.co/oKbJnmsHrx

Didn’t dig any deeper so might be some connection down the line but couldn’t find it
