Decided on a 14" MBP for my next work computer 💻 This will be my first time ever having the smaller size, but I've been convinced by many it's the way to go, especially for focus. Now my question is - if you're working in full screen more often with a smaller size, how to you manage your windows?

As someone who works from their laptop most of the time, I'm having an unusally hard time deciding between another 16" laptop or moving to a 14" when I upgrade.

Earlier this year, I led the development of the Streaks feature in @buffer.com so when I lost my streak a couple weeks ago I was very tempted to log into MongoDB and *cough* accidentally repair my streak *cough*. I would never do that, of course

My lovely coworkers at @buffer.com gifted me a latte art workshop a while back, and I got to attend it over the weekend ☕ Check it out:

Since I'm in my 30s now, I judge the quality of DOB fields in UI's by the following metric: "does this make me feel old?"

Something I've learned this year: burnout can happen even when things are going well! By all measures, both life and work are better than ever, but I'm *tired*. Like a deep, deep tiredness 😴

The afternoon coffee is a dangerous game. Will it keep me awake all night? Who knows! 🤷‍♂️

One of my favorite perks of working at Buffer is our coffee shop coworking allowance 🫡 It’s amazing how getting out of the house for an hour or two does wonders for my productivity (and mental health, let’s be honest) Prefer a coworking space? We’ll cover that instead!

Always love making a giant pot of veggie broth once I save enough scraps. Makes a delicious base for some of our favorite soups: minestrone, pasta e fagoli, and lentil soup 😋

Recently hit my 3 year mark @buffer.com, and thought I'd celebrate in a way that feels most true to myself: with coffee ☕️ Here are some fun Buffer coffees over the years:

One of my summer sprint (buff.ly/JLyuk3v) goals is to go on a walk most days, regardless of the temperature. It's been such a great way to disconnect for an hour. Today, it was a balmy 93 F, but I did it anyway and it was still a lovely time in nature! Not pictured: me, extraordinarily sweaty.

This week, I’m starting what I’m calling a "summer sprint". After planning it for a few weeks, I'm excited for a couple months of focused energy across three areas, while taking advantage of warm weather and longer days here in Nashville. Here's what I'm up to:

I feel like I’m 10+ years late to the iPad party, but I got one recently for the first time, and it’s actually quite lovely. I’m using it as a distraction-free tool to conduct a lot of the non-code activities of my job at @buffer.com Here's how I'm using it lately:

When it comes to posting on socials, I tend to overthink it. This time around, I'm going to treat it like an experiment, trying a few things but focusing on consistency over everything else:

It's that time of year when I reuse the weirdest boxes from around my apartment to wrap Christmas presents. Almost-empty baking soda box? Perfect for a tiny gift.

The only thing Spotify-wrapped showed me was how low my usage was this year. I've become increasingly annoyed by their app and their playlists, which (to me) don't seem to be well-curated anymore. It might be time for a switch! 💡
