Paris now has 180 gorgeous โschool streets.โ They are pedestrianized and landscaped streets around schools - to mitigate crashes, prioritize walking to school, reduce noise and air pollution. No brainer, really.
Since starting a mentoring rule with a new junior dev at work, I've picked up a book I bought myself when I started learning Ruby: Eloquent Ruby by @russolsen.
I've been really enjoying relearning the basics from "The-Ruby-way" standpoint. Always pays to keep learning.
People often think Iโm anti-car.
Iโm not against the car. I literally own a car. One that I bought new just a few years ago that I really enjoy driving.
What Iโm against is the convenience of the car being at the centre of how weโve designed our society.
I'm not a hermit, I do get out the house for sport, social, etc. But I'm wondering if working from a co-working space once a week might improve my immune response to bugs.
Any folk who work from home with small kids in the house struggle with getting ill a lot? I used to almost never get ill (pre-kids, working in an office) and now seem to pick up most things the kids bring back from nursery. Currently on my second stomach bug this month.
Ooh this is both genius and fear-inducing ๐. There's so much useful insight to gain from this process, but I imagine most (me included) will eschew it citing not enough time.
๐ Delete Your Dev Environment Regularly
> I highly recommend that you go ahead, delete your dev setup today, and document the steps it takes to get it up and running. Future you, and future contributors will thank you. A lot. Seriously.

@trovster Thanks ๐. I haven't shared a template before in Notion but I think this should work as an outline of each entry: https://t.co/RAQRhOx2n1. If you're not using Notion it may not be that useful. I also talk about the whole setup in this post: https://t.co/16WAI3gVKQ
My 5 big take takeaways:
1. Talk about your day. Your future self enjoys reading about your past self's routines and how you felt about them.
2. Log anything and everything. What seems entirely insignificant today can reveal a key trend over a year.
Sometimes you listen to a podcast and it just hits differently. The recent "Refurbishing bikes, rebuilding lives" episode from @podstreetsahead was one of those. Wholesome and top interviewing. @nedboulting - where have I heard your familiar tones before? Do you do TV commentary?
5. Document your kids' development. Not only is this information wonderful to look back on, but it serves as an ongoing nudge to go play with your kids and really connect with them.
4. Track the days you're so ill you can't function. I use a simple checkbox in Notion, hidden by default. This is a valuable metric I like to reflect on at the end of the year. Also; talk candidly about your mental state of mind. Health is key.
