currently in my Shopify developer era!
created a small Shopify App that allows a merchant to create a UNIQUE QR code for a specific product
when scanned, the customer is taken to either the product / checkout page ! 👨🏾💻
what other features would a merchant want?
hmm🤔
Carl Jung described 100 years ago what neuroscience has confirmed: the closer a person is to their true potential, the more the psyche resists breaking out of the familiar scenario.
it’s kind of funny to me that stressed out is as popular as it is cause millions of people heard “my name’s blurryface and i care what you think” without context and went what the hell, sure
This picture appears on my timeline every so often. It’s a perennial crowd pleaser
I think the reason is not only because of the scale, but more because of how this ship captures something fundamental about economies in the developed world have changed since the industrial era
Neighborhoods and towns like this were dominated by a single industry. The work they were engaged in was tangible, physical, visceral. You could see the progress of a given project on a day to day basis. You could tell if the industry was prospering, or whether times were hard.
In a way, these were like medieval cathedral towns, with the factory instead of a great religious edifice at the center of all activity.
Today is very different. There’s no central locus in most places. Work has fragmented into a thousand different facets. Much of it has gone virtual. There isn’t a single overarching story that can be told, one that ties everything together
the path to enlightenment with work is realizing you aren't special and the work isn't special. this actually is the only path to doing something that is special
you're clacking away at a laptop sitting in an air-conditioned room. you are not grinding. you are not lazy, you are not procrastinating. you are not winning. you are not behind. you are not really anything except moving your fingers. there is no right way to do it or wrong way to do it. the gates arent real, even if the gatekeepers wish you would think they were. you are allowed to do things without the right credentials your credentials also dont matter at the deepest level.
work is quite simple. you are moving things around and transforming them. bits, atoms, or emotions. its all just work. changing a diaper is no different than typing at a keyboard is no different than turning rocks into diamonds
enormous suffering could be avoided if people let go of the idea that the purpose of a human life is some imaginary path of achievement.
just do stuff you feel called to do. you're allowed to do it well. or lazily. or randomly.
It’s crazy how most people use their 20s to build a career, but if you grew up in chaos, you basically spend those years just trying to survive the aftermath of your upbringing. It's like you're not even at the starting line yet bc you’re still repairing the track.
I made a tool that makes retro anime sound effects. Meet AnimeVox! I made it for a game, but it's free to use. I'm using the forgotten (but popular in 80s japan) Schroeder reverb algo, and some wobble. If you find it useful consider supporting me on itch

i think people can get a bit disconnected from reality after being here too long
i got airdropped like $6K USD just for hanging out as a user

where else can you get $2K sent to you for free just for being there
show some gratitude
8 hours of quality work is a lot
when I still had a job, an 8-hour workday was more like 1.5 hours of real work
the amount of inefficiency that big companies are willing to accept is insane
discovered this library earlier and added it to an app I'm making, so smooth!
i wonder if there is a feature that generates a random emoji onClick? couldn't find it if so
Today I completed the migration of Emoji-Picker-React to use my new css-in-js library, FlairUp✨ a zero config styling solution for public packages.
Now you don't need to think how to bundle styles or whether it will work for your users. It just works!
