I'm thrilled to announce I've joined Y'all as a Junior Front-End Engineer. They're such a great group of talented folks, and I couldn't be happier to be on the team!

When you can no longer tell if @uidotdev is kidding or not. All aboard the SvextJS train
Screenshot that reads: “I’m ending this story by giving you a quick pitch for our hot new project – SvextJS. Hear me out: Our logo has three triangles, our framework is meta AF, and our design system is just a single Jay-Z lyric, “all black everything.” We are raising a $12m pre-seed at a $150m valuation to join the growing market of open source JavaScript frameworks built on top of other open source JavaScript frameworks built on top of surveillance capitalism. Thank you for your consideration.”

Just watched Ben Wheatley’s surrealist-eco-horror film “In the Earth”, which was a great mind bender, but man those ending credits by @IntroUK’s Julian House are absolutely fantastic.

💡 Git Tip 💡 Need your current uncommitted work to live on its own branch? You can easily separate your changes with `git switch` (git v2.23.1+). This will move your work into a new branch and roll the branch you started in back to its latest commit. #webdev #code #git

The rise in popularity of the term “bespoke” — which correlates directly with how increasingly annoyed I am every time I hear how bespoke something is.

Are we still doing this? I just added another layer of nerdery to my laptop and all my code smells went away #webdev #DEVCommunity

Pretty darn chuffed to have been able to contribute to @zkat__ ‘s kdl.dev project with a cuddly new logo. I love open source almost as much as pastel palettes, so it was a doubly rewarding exercise.

JavaScript code: const time equals true. While time (equals two), break.

Day 184: Resolved an issue in my React app where stale closures were causing a state updating delay (useRef Hook solved it), added some more styling to the app, created a logo, and worked on adding new features! #100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie #webdev

Day 183: REACT. ALL. DAY. Started building a design-y tool I’ve been wanting to make with Hooks. Still really early, but so far it’s a mostly functional type-scale generator! I’m adding color pickers, fonts, and CSS generation soon... #100DaysOfCode #webdev #codenewbie
