An image showing a collection of playful, mock "Wanted" and "Have You Seen This Dog?" posters pinned to a dark bulletin board. The posters feature humorous text and drawings, including a "Wanted" poster for answering a beginner question patiently and another for a "big-ish reward" with a smiley face. The central poster shows a photo of a fluffy brown dog with text asking to let "Rosa know you saw her dog."

It was really cool! I wish it hadn't be so hot, because walking around wasn't super pleasant 😅🥵 but super cool

Another thing I'm fascinated about lately: Baarle-Hertog and Baarle-Nassau 🤣 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baarle-... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baarle-... "The border's complexity results from a number of medieval treaties, agreements, land-swaps and sales between the Lords of Breda and the Dukes of Brabant."

Attended a great presentation on Tidewave yesterday at @madridrb.com . Mochi was particularly interested, as tools like Tidewave make her job of doing my job much easier! 🐾

This was a pretty good year in sport/running for me 🎉🏃🏻‍♀️ the first time I followed a training plan to get faster! I really embraced being uncomfortable and loved the discipline of it 💪🏻🥰 PBed half marathon but didn't achieve my other fitness goals: 2 strict pull-ups and full front splits. For 2026!

My self-gift for Christmas this year was the clear/blank keyboard for my framework laptop frame.work/es/en/produc... I got the whole input kit because I also switched to ANSI from ISO. It looks so cool! I'm not as good at typing on it as in a regular labeled keyboard but close enough

Well... I had the absolute worst couple of days 😔 But a very nice 12km run to clear my head. I'm looking forward to going back to work tomorrow.

Rosa @rosa.codes · 04/12/2025

I had a small running motivation crisis this year when I just couldn't mentally run more than 8 or 9 kms together, coming from an injury and basically no long runs in 2024. This has made the end of the year rather thrilling for me 🤣 (as thrilling as totally arbitrary goals go, that is)

Special thanks to @julianrubisch.at and a few other folks whose bsky handles I don't know, for their patience talking to me in German, and for the super interesting conversations! 🥰 In addition to that, Mochi did a lot of networking and got a bunch of attention, which she enjoys very much 🤣

It was a super nice evening in the really cool new offices of @sentry.io! With homemade cookies and chocolate from @rorvswild.com 🫶🏻🥹 Huge thanks to @hansschnedlitz.com for organising and inviting me (and Mochi), and @sentry.io for hosting! ❤️ Ruby meetups are the best.

Somehow I ended up winning @jakob.codefrwd.com ‘s Friendly show at @friendlyrb.com yesterday 🤣 I got a zillion of bags of pufuleti (an airy corn snack v similar to Spanish gusanitos) as the prize 🤣 I managed to give all of them away! To conf participants and random people at the after party bar 🍻

I have the same setup with a standing desk, and the socket strip (obviously "ladrón" or "alargadera" is a much better term 🤣) has this cord. TBH I'm not a super tall person so it's not like it needs to extend a lot 😅😅

@jorgeleria.bsky.social found this photo he took of Mochi being carried inside the @balticruby.bsky.social's final party by me after she played fetch outside about 4209838 times (and still wanted more) 😆 I think everyone should see it as a brief doomscroll pause 🐶🥺

One day, I'll write a guide about how to fly with your small pet (< 8kg) across Europe, applying to the EU + Switzerland and Norway, but not the UK. It's the question I get asked the most when I travel with Mochi and it took some time and some mistakes to figure out all the quirks
