I'm on this episode of #DevDiscuss to gush about my love for #linux. This was a totally new and vulnerable experience, but navigating a career switch has taught me to lean into the uncomfortable! Thanks to the whole team at @forem https://t.co/2qS4u0jwgM

👀 TikTok, when opening any website in their app, injects tracking code that can monitor all keystrokes, including passwords, and all taps.

VM or dualboot? I've been keeping MS on main for adobe creative suites but I'm over it flagging my apps as severe threats and removing them. The os should never overwrite the user, especially if the user knows wtf they doin.

My team at Wirecutter is hiring. Its a mid-level #PHP role building back-end applications. #Node and #GraphQL experience a plus. 100% remote. Ask me questions if interested! ✨ https://t.co/Gosd7A0S4T

Do other people still eat meals? How do you do it? Today I had two doughnuts, two tangerines, two spoonfuls of yogurt, and a can of black olives.

Blocking off your calendar to allow you to have Focus Time outside of your barrage of meetings is great, but sometimes I really struggle to focus when I finally make it to that block of Focus Time. No one talks about that.

What was the best thing your company did during onboarding?

When I onboarded my manager put together a Trello board with a column for each week. Each week had cards for different tasks. I also had a pipeline with cards introducing each team member!

took too long to catch. someday I'll be back in the hostile familiarity of #TypeScript where it lovingly screams at me about existence and objects

Attending another cute online conference today: @WordCampUS ! opening remarks in ~30mins.

Really feels like the rest of the country shrugged when it heard New Orleans didn’t flood, briefly chastised us for living where we live, & fully moved on when ~1,000,000 people don’t have power for medical devices, a/c during a heat wave, etc.

New Orleans is your city’s future

Great talk at @LaraconOnline, @DianaWebdev! ✨ Cant overstate the importance of representation and checking in with yourself.
