Meme reading “Unfunny dudes waiting for New Year’s Day so they can say ‘I haven’t seen you since last year’” with Majin Buu from Dragon Ball sitting watching the green sand in an hourglass fall. My head is pasted on his body because I’m unfunny like that

Last hike of the year (?) so had to do it big! Finally did one I’ve been wanting to do for years, Inspiration Point in Angeles National Forest #hikes #inspirationpoint #definitelyinspired #waswired #thentired #hopefullysoonillbehired #refrigerator

Inspiration Point shelter outlook with two signs underneath its awnings. The middle sign reads “Inspiration Point” while the other under the right awning reads “World famous telescope view overlooking 3,000 square miles and Catalina Island - 75 miles away. Don’t miss this scene - look for mountains on the moon”. The peak of a mountain can be seen rising above the fog of the valley.

View from the shelter of the valley, nestled between the hills. 15 pipes are arranged pointing in different directions toward different cities and destinations.

Signs on the pipes from left to right:
“Locating Pasadena”
“Locating Ostrich Farms”
“Locating Silverlake”
“Locating Los Angeles”
“Locating Redondo Beach”
“Locating Catalina Island”
“Locating the Rose Bowl”
“Locating San Pedro”

View of the valley shrouded in fog with 3 or 4 mountains visible

Happy Friday everyone! Got to it late today but CYC day 2! #commitYourCode #commitYourCodeDay2 Stream: www.youtube.com/@DallasSoftw... Agenda: www.commityourcode.com/agenda

Screenshot of Tessa Kriesel's "Building What Developers Actually Want: Lessons Learned" which reads:

"Patterns That Indicate a Developer Pain

- Developers share their own similar pain unprompted
- Easy to find people to interview about the problem
- Clear patterns in complaints about existing solutions
- Evidence of teams building internal tools for this
- Companies investing resources to solve this

Where to Look
- Developer channels like forums and GitHub
- Competitor analysis beyond features
- Technical meetups/conferences
- Company engineering blogs
- Job postings requiring certain tools/skills"

Wish I could've gone #commityourcode, but at least I can watch online! Have a great time all of you attending!!

A picture doesn’t do this painting justice, but this was amazing to see in person! “The Retrospective 2002 - 2022” by Raqib Shaw, there’s 68 of his other paintings in this 🤯😱

Raqib Shaw’s “The Retrospective 2002 - 2022” which features 68 of his other paintings. Most adorn the walls of the expansive gallery, while others line the floors and halls.

The description for the painting and a diagram of all the other paintings within. The description reads:

“The Retrospective 2002-22
2015-22

Acrylic liner, enamel, and rhinestones on aluminum

Seven years in the making, Raqib Shaw's The Retrospective encapsulates both the artist's career and his delight in artistic quotations. The composition reworks Giovanni Paolo Panini's Picture Gallery with Views of Modern Rome (1757), in which Panini's paintings are arranged within an imposing if invented) gallery space. Shaw substitutes his own paintings, and richly attired and masked, he stands on a platform of shipping crates, gesturing like a conjuring magician or an orchestra conductor. Shaw cradles his beloved terrier, Mr. C, in one arm, and waves a toilet plunger instead of a baton in the other.”
