my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

Getting really bloody sick of saying NO to cookie data then having to scroll through sometimes mile-long mazes to untick 'legitimate interest' boxes because I ACTUALLY MEANT NO. 😑 Ticking no cookies shouldn't mean they still sell my data to 82+ mystery vendors unless I put more time into my no.
A screenshot of a data preference pop up. First box reads 'measure advertising performance'. Tick boxes I've turned off for 'consent (83 vendors)' and 'legitimate interest (62 vendors)'. Second box for 'content performance' has 'consent (35 vendors)' and 'legitimate interest (20 vendors)'.

Hi everyone. I thought I should give an update. Tomorrow will be one month since my surgery. It ended up being stage 3 not 1. It was fairly rough goings for a while but I’m doing ok and recovering well. I have an appointment in the AM and should find out then when I start chemo. #100Devs

Bsky now requires age verification to use in any capacity. As always, Firefox users can bypass these things with a custom uBlock Origin filter on mobile and desktop, which is easier than completing the age verification itself: gist.github.com/mary-ext/6e2...

For those who didn’t attend the huddle, I have an update regarding Jean Claude Van Sam/devmansam: he has an infection in his blood which has lead to the surgery he needs before he can get chemo to be postponed by at least a week and is in the hospital getting treatment as of yesterday.

Those of you who attend the huddle may already know, 100devs member devmansam/Jean Claude Sam has pancreatic cancer. I was wondering if any of you would be willing to sign a digital card and write him some well wishes? Maybe tag or send to people within 100devs who you think would be interested too?

There are many enlightening statistics & facts in this, but this stopped me cold: “A mother’s reading skill is the greatest determinant of her children’s future academic success, outweighing other factors such as neighborhood and family income.” So many inferences can be drawn from this single fact

Jackie helped me take notes during the huddle (after I wouldn’t let her sit on top of the paper).
A tortoiseshell cat sits to the right of my lap, on top of some lined papers on my lap as if holding them in place. She plays against my right arm. What a sweet baby.

How is AI changing entry-level hiring? We sent out a survey asking hiring partners what’s actually happening. Here are some of the results we saw. See the full results in our 2025 Annual Report: www.resilienthires.com/annual-report
50% have adapted their tech stack to include AI in the last 12-18 months. 78% list an AI tool as a must-have technology platform. 30% said AI adoption is driving force behind changes in demand for entry-level hiring.
