Got on a spooky* DLR on Friday and had to take a photo of this vibey self driving train. *it was being used for testing and the crew forgot to lock one door so we got on not realising and made it a few stops before they spotted us.

There's been quite a lot of chat about how their push to port the whole UI to React has made it worse. Potentially it's a case of correlation is not causation but they were anti-JS as much as possible for a long time. muan.co/posts/javasc...

Turned 37 recently and my wife is doing a very delayed clear out of some of our older unworn clothes. Nothing has ever made me feel older some of the styles on Depop. WTF is Whimsygoth?

I've never had a crawfish omelette but I'm pretty sure Gordon Ramsey would know that you need to take the meat out of the crunchy bits.

Figured out a neat trick with Astro tonight for blogging - using an enum to stick to a particular set of tags.

Great course! I've made a few simple things already with the earlier techniques but that last video and the composition was really useful. I'm excited to play more with it. I'd definitely continue with more advanced courses if you're considering doing any more.
