my hand is healed and i can type again!! got a lot of practice with tailwind today. building a bunch of simple landing pages with react & tailwind just to get the hang of it! <4 component builds are so nice lol 😌

[Megan May 🌙 @MegzDev]

can't get my hands on the keyboard too much as my hand heals (second degree yay) but things are starting to look up again lol

[Megan May 🌙 @MegzDev]

ok putting a pause on the challenge but i did manage to get some stuff done today!
got reached out to by an old client about building them a new website. starting coding out some components today. also will be moving their mass of files to aws!

[Megan May 🌙 @MegzDev]

2025 is starting off a lil rough for me. Taking a little break from hands on the keyboard after getting a second degree burn this morning using my aeropress 🫠 good thing I’m left handed lol

that's it for today, heard about the passing of my hero David Lynch and now I'm rewatching twin peaks 🫡 don't have it in me rn to fully experience reality so i'll see you tomorrow VS code

[DepressedBergman @DannyDrinksWine]

RIP David Lynch (1946-2025)

I am in utter disbelief right now... Can't accept that he is no more... I don't have the words to describe how I feel.

We will never ever see anyone like him ever again..

Here is his advice to youngsters.

David Lynch is Forever
