Hot take: “self-care” for devs isn’t just dark mode & caffeine ☕💻 Join @tdesseyn.bsky.social, @jasontorres.bsky.social & @michelle.blue (Program Director @ G2i Inc + React Miami co-organizer) to unpack developer health in the middle of a layoff season. Sept 11 | 11:30AM EST | torc.dev/community

Been trying out @windsurfai.bsky.social lately and the value really just clicked. It seems to be best with multi-file editing, and has good prediction for next implementation steps. Going to keep exploring, but I'm liking this aspect of it and recommend trying it out.

Last week @leaddev.bsky.social published an article I wrote on preventing burnout ✨ After many missteps and struggles I'm super thankful to share some valuable lessons and strategies I've learned while working in tech 🙏 leaddev.com/leadership/p...

Preventing burnout with restful work
Restful work can be a great way to mitigate a case of burnout. Here's a framework you can follow to implement it into your day-to-day.

There’s an unreasonable effectiveness in just saying “hey, buy my thing”.

This is the best fight I’ve ever seen at a Panthers game. Gadjovich v Dillon at Amerant Bank Arena tonight.

What are the top home products for people with large, long fur dogs that shed a lot? The best vacuum I’ve ever had for this is the Dyson Ball Animal 2. But I’m always wondering if there’s anything else I’m missing in automated vacuums, fur resistant fabrics, etc.

Going to InterMiami and Florida Panthers games is the funniest juxtaposition. Fight breaks out in soccer and this is a dead serious matter 🫨 Fight breaks out in hockey and the stadium starts playing Metal 🤘

Absolutely. I was sleeping so poorly mostly bc I’d wake up, have some sort of anxiety, and not be able to sleep again. But the pod helps keep you in asleep though the night so that started happening less and less. Can’t live without it now.

I started with Oura Ring for tracking, but I also needed help sleeping so I got an Eight Sleep pod 3 which is where this screenshot is from. Oura Ring tends to have more detailed/accurate data but the Eight Sleep has pretty good measurements too.

I want a commercial airline pilot that puts in 80+ hour work weeks. The one who hustles. The one who really shows they are passionate about flying.

Sometimes it’s healthier to skip the morning work out for more sleep 💙
