Just a reminder to moisturize and wear sun screen so you can be like me and be carded still from the lovely flight attendant who wants to give me a free alcohol but is afraid I’m underage 😂

I got asked a question at work, “what are your most used DataDog Queries and how do you form them?” and this question really stumped me. Not because it’s hard but rather the question itself isn’t how I think or work? Not that it is wrong but maybe it shows they think I’m “prepared” for anything?

As a creator/publisher: I'd REALLY like for Sweet Shop to work out. Post-Amazon buyout, Comixology died on the vine. It's a non-service, at this point. Sweet Shop is run by ppl who actually give a crap about comics and want to make it easier for people to read them. So grab some ultra-cheap books!

One more Post™️ before I’m done for today. But instead of having a fucking great time at Folsom I’m letting myself get fucked at work? Terrible decision-making.

In addition to a new charger, I got a new phone. I guess it’s the season of upgrading.

Okay maybe it is nice to have my phone charging and in a stand view. Maybe l will finally not have my stuff dry of battery 😂

I told my friend over the weekend, "oh yeah I let my phone die all the time even when at home, it's just a gay thing you know?" and they sent me a lovely care package. I am so sorry y'all the phone is at 5% now 😂
A conversation between me and a friend. I sent them a photo of the Anker charging stand they gave. I said "I deeply love this. <my parnter> said 'thank you!!! He is still going to forget to actually use it but he desperately needed it' as my battery is almost 10% now" and my friend laughs and says "Prince charge your damn phone"

I'm currently looking for full-time or contract work. I specialize in building CSS-based design systems where engineers don't have to write CSS and helping product teams develop a shared language for building on the web. If you know of anything that might be a fit, please let me know. Thanks!

I know a lot of folks hate some abstractions but really living through the scenario where you opt to _never_ use an abstraction and now need to point to a new source??? Literally feels like a minefield lmao

Occasionally during my standing meetings with my team I am listening to music and bobbing my head up and down or doing a little shimmy. Well usually I’m not listening to “work appropriate” music so when someone asks “wow prince, what are you listening to? You always seem to be enjoying yourself.”

Why do I spend so much time reading PRs? Honestly because the PRs take so much unnecessary time due to not following easy git commits. But that’s a skill and no shade. It also takes too much time to process some folks changes vs what it “says” it should do because it is not actually authored

Prince Wilson @maxcell.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
One of the bad qualities I see amplified in existing systems now adopting AI is the anthropological cost that comes with no shared context. I don’t think it is that it can’t be changed, but it is not prioritized. I read A LOT of PRs. Like I spend a good 1/3rd of my day reading PRs every so often

It's been a while since I've done a people looking for work thread. If you're looking for work, put what you do and what you're looking for (full time, freelance etc) as a reply. Companies: get hiring people!

mucho texto i know but i wanted to write a lil thing about how u can treat yourself nice!!
art of a wolf girl eating broccoli and brushing her teeth. the dialogue says:
I've been an adult living on my own for a coupleyears now and since I have ADHD and bouts of Sick Brain Disease  I can fall into a rut easilyESPECIALLY when it comesto taking care of myselfbut the awesome thing about being an adult is that no one is watching over your shoulder making
sure you're perfect i used to give myself shit that i wouldn't be able to eat healthier or take care of myself in an optimal way here's a cool trick tho: ANYTHINGis is better than nothing. if you can only eat a couple vegetables? buddy thats better than no vegetables. worried about brushing your teeth for like three minutes? do like ten seconds instead want to socialize more often but you're worried you can't do multi-hour events? babe you're an adult now,  if you get tired you can just leave lol If you want to improve, fuck yeah, work your way up to more of whatever. starting at all is the hard part - if you can do that then you've got a lot of what you need already anyway ive crunched the numbers and treating yourself a little bit better than yesterday is actually a million times better than trying to Fix Your Life Completely and getting mad when you can't do a 180. be nice and recognize that you can live a lot of your life in first or second drafts; if you're not perfect yet? fuck it, you'll get better later! u can do it!!! woof!!

Plus some little vignettes of around the city today. Sometimes I love just seeing the buildings and angles we get 💜

A lot of people don’t have to deal with the direct consequence of how the technological landscape changes. Like it is easy to sit on a space of privilege and not see how fucking bad the trenches are. And if you aren’t considering how bad it happens downstream? Consider chatting with people
