I love this. The point isn't really to intentionally write poorly (as another commenter seemed to suggest), just to let it be ok to make mistakes, to find the mistakes, and to accept that it's part of learning to write good code. No one starts their journey without ever making mistakes!

I've started hosting a weekly Friends and Neighbors Dinner, which has opened up connections I never expected. My kiddo's preschool is hosting a Share and Swap at an Open House next month. I feel so refreshed to have in-person connections with real people and lighter, knowing we can share the load.

Instead of waiting for it to come to manifest, it's possible to build the world you wish existed on a more local level. Mutual aid and radical generosity feel good and spread. What is your favorite act of kindness, mutual aid, or generosity? How does it make you feel?

Layla @laylaro.bsky.social · 24/02/2025

Right? @joshwcomeau.com does some incredible stuff. He's about to release a course on how to do it. I'm stoked!

🦊 Friday was my last day working at 18F. It was a team of extraordinary people, but a few things happened that made me realize I had to leave. Everything happens so much these days, so I thought I’d write down for myself what happened, and how I made my decision: ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/leavin...

I had a wonderful job, until I didn’t. This is about what happened—and what is happening.

Washington State stands up against Trump. Listen to our Governor tell Trump we will not allow him to use financial threats to make us abandon DEI, reproductive rights, transgender rights or to allow him to illegally remove immigrant workers. Other states should follow this. youtu.be/3wFBW7CKtBk

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

KNOW YOUR
RIGHTS
IN CASE OF ICE:
CONOCE TUS DERECHOS
EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR.
ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge.
Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door.
NO ABRAS TU PUERTA.
ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM
TO LEAVE.
If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission.
2
PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN.
Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT.
You have the right to remain silent.
If the agents ask you questions, tell them,
"I wish to remain silent."
PERMANECE EN SILENCIO.
Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio.
Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles:
"Deseo permanecer en silencio".

The difference between “nice” and “kind”: Nice is doing something to avoid upset or offense. Kind is doing something out of empathy and/or compassion.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that just a bit of salt with maybe 2-3 bay leaves adds a very nice touch to lentils. This renewed my interest in bay leaves considerably. But yes, veggie bouillon flavors nicely, too!

😓 I made a report suggesting that there’s a correction to be made. They’ve clearly made a mistake in the information about the Gulf of Mexico.

Yikes. Was hoping Apple would hold out. Almost thought they had until I clicked on Gulf of Mexico. Ugh. Not the best look, Apple.

Just watched @leonnoel.bsky.social spend 45 minutes talking through FizzBuzz as an example for how to interview. So much more to a technical interview answer than producing a solution. What’s your favorite tip for technical interviews? #100Devs #Jobuary

I cut my hair short several months ago to model the process before my then 2.5 year old kiddo got a very wanted but slightly intimidating first haircut. Now every day as it grows out, I look a little different. Reminds me in a bold way that every day I AM a little different.

Layla @laylaro.bsky.social · 04/02/2025

Rebuilding my resume. #Jobuary #100Devs is getting me moving. Excited to think about my experiences in a fresh way and to tell a new story in a single page document. Gonna rebuild my website and let all my friends know (apparently they didn't) that I build websites. I need to advertise better.

Layla @laylaro.bsky.social · 31/01/2025

@leonnoel.bsky.social is keeping that #100Devs inspiration going. Thank you! I need to stop "free"lancing and start "paid"lancing. Hard to know what rate to start with. Anyone have any tips? Gotta rebuild my own website, planning to decide on some rates to post to be upfront going forward.

I've started this with my kiddo who turns 3 next month. First steps of learning how to wash produce, chop, and fry potatoes and "kini" (zucchini). Kiddo freaking LOVED it. Didn't eat the potatoes, but did eat a few kini slices. And we had some "us" time to start the day.

Layla @laylaro.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

If you have front wheel drive and begin to skid, turn your steering wheel in the direction your rear tires are moving. If you haven't done a lot of driving in snowy/icy conditions this seems counterintuitive. But, really, this is how you recover from a skid. I had to do this on my morning commute.

Remember that you were raised on stories about hyperindividualistic chosen ones where saving the entire world is the minimum win condition. It's fine to tune your expectations down from that a smidge. You're not going to dethrone god today but maybe do something nice for your neighbors.

Oogenesis in humans typically starts 8-20 weeks post implantation. Spermatogenesis in humans typically starts at puberty. So, technically, that Executive Order defines us all as asexual neuter. Hope that helps.

My kiddo started skipping naps around the same time as bedtimes elongating like that. Bedtimes got much shorter…but evenings have gotten more…tender. It’s a weird stage. I wish you ease in this awkward time. Sending solidarity. A big positive: these “regressions” often pair with developmental leaps!
