Notes

Ugh, twitter is a minefield today. Everyone’s got a joke.

I can’t decide if I like that instagram stories un-publish by default or if I hate that you need to use the app every day to keep up with the content.

@chiccychiccy Just harboring resentment over standardized testing shenanigans. Don’t waste my time because you need the test results to say a few people are marginally better at eliminating options in a multiple choice test.

Puebla’s bus station is 10x the size of its airport.

I struggle with applying this. Both my curiosity and frugality push me to spend time on things that don’t help me in the long run. Set and enforce an aspirational personal hourly rate. If fixing a problem will save less than your hourly rate, ignore it. If outsourcing a task...

Pro tip: If the lessons aren’t difficult you can test out of subjects using the 🔑 icon. It’s super helpful for the first few levels since most things are multiple choice.

@github I do wish that @gitlab was more widely used in the open source community because they have a great product too.

@github I know it can be scary when one company controls so much, but it is good to see that the open source-to-enterprise model can be successful.

I think it’s easy to forget how much @github has reduced the barrier to open source contribution. It honestly is encouraging to be able to do what we do for free without crazy amounts of ads.

I thought I heard thunder today but that was odd because it wasn’t raining. Apparently it was a volcanic eruption… El poderoso volcán #Popocatepetl en #Mexico hizo erupción nuevamente el fin de semana con poderosas explosiones que iluminaron el cielo de San Nicolás de Los Ranchos pic.twitter.com/xwp1CSnCD8— Reuters Latam (@ReutersLatam)...

Why doesn’t CSS flexbox wrap have an option like “wrap: start” to allow a pinterest/masonry style layout?

My favorite part of #TDD is when I implement a feature and realize I haven’t tried running the application the whole time…and it still works!

Yesterday I dropped @googleanalytics from my personal website. I replaced it with something a third the size and it felt good to reduce Google grasp on the internet a hair.

One of @typescriptlang’s core failures is that its file extension is alphabetically after .spec.ts instead of before. So now my file explorer is out of order. I hope they fix this in TS 4.0. #trolling

@chiccychiccy I think my struggle is that I’ll naturally only share the best of life. But that’s not what I want my feed to look like.
