Currently starting Day 2 of a 5-Day Fundraiser. Thank you to everyone everyone who jumped to share or donate. After Day 1, you've helped me & my son raise $452. We have four days left and the program is at 9% of it's overall goal.

*Dusts off the microphone* Hi, life’s been busy/a mess lately so I’ve become very passive on social media outside of a few responsibilities on other platforms. But I have a shameless plug that brings me here: A fundraiser for my son’s bball program: app.teamfi.works/calendar/ef9...

This was a pretty big win for me personally, years in the making. We've been talking about getting something new, a third jersey for years. Other teams rebranded/took our old color schemes so we had to change on the fly. The results are fantastic.

Oh, this is a great read from Melanie. I've felt this sensation with so many things. I'm curious what will improve if/when things are given time and nourishment.

bumpy bump for this week’s post! teaser:

Our users don’t care about how any of this stuff works. When people use our websites and apps, they don’t think in terms of the “frontend” and the “backend”. They see the things on the screen: a section, a header, a post preview, a sortable list.
But maybe our users are right.

This, like many other layoff stories out there, is a very tough read. Adam was extremely helpful and kind with his time when I took advantage of his office hours time. His work is crucial in helping advance everything UX/UI in the browser to where we are today. Can't forget that.

2/4. But my kid, Boy10, correctly pointed out all four goal scorers were righties. So bonus points for that.

I’ll take responsibility. Canes are 2/3 to n the Power Play when I’m in attendance this season.

The last two episodes of Leet Heat have been incredible. I found a few LWJ episodes that have been helpful this morning. CodeTV has been crushing it since the the rebrand, so much so I had to upgrade my subscription. Check out codetv.dev if you haven't.

Coaching middle school aged players: a struggle, frustrating at times. Watching those same player play games: Pure joy. Win or lose, when the kids play it’s awesome to see. Fun distraction every day for the next few months.

Here’s my analogy for one-day boycotts: Long ago, I worked in a job where I was occasionally exposed to efforts to repeal a state law saying you couldn’t sell cars on Sundays. This was usually done by people who said the law was unfair to auto dealers. Let them sell! (1/)

Just imagine what happens when you get a few above average engineers, who get to become force multipliers (mentors, improvers, exciters), instead of burning out trying to bridge the gaps in your systems.

The GEICO hockey commercial - hits all the stereotypical notes. This includes the goalie wearing their leg pads on the wrong legs. This is how I take a break & distract myself from the Real World.
