Ashley Willis-McNamara

People who press the elevator button when it’s already lit up, why? I’m not mad. I just want to know. Do we have a problem?

The best introduction to Nathan Fielder is Nathan For You s03e05, "Smokers Allowed" You then need to work your way through the rest of NFY before touching anything else from him

If this Elizabeth Holmes doc is the first time you’re hearing about Nathan Fielder, you are NOT ready to just jump right in. You need to prep. You need to train. You need to build up your secondhand embarrassment tolerance first. Nathan Fielder is advanced-level discomfort.

Hello from Render ATL 👋 I’m around all week. If you see me, please come say hi. I am very bad at recognizing people out of context, so you may have to actually tell me who you are. 😂

Oh, you wanna come over? Cool. Just give me three business days to clean my house until it looks like no one has ever lived here.

It’s a shame that most of you will never experience my wit and whimsy in person

I’ve been to Japan like 7 times but never during the summer. This is a different kind of hot. I was wildly unprepared 😅

vs code pets 1.36.0 is out. feat two raccoons. regular and jimothy.

Maybe I’m just behind but have you typed Jimothy into the Google search bar yet?

Every project starts as “this should take an hour.” I have never once been correct.

can we take a minute to talk about Ashley & how great she is? there are folks who chase the spotlight & there are those who work to make sure others get opportunities. Ashley is incredible at spotting talent & giving folks the chance to shine. a truly exceptional person I’m proud to call a friend 💜

A family member recently went to a medium hoping to talk to my mom. Missed opportunity to finally get some answers about these fuck-ass haircuts.

Logged in to see my blog post making the rounds again. This time I’ve apparently been declared “not actually neurodivergent,” and the replies are genuinely heinous. Being called an AI tech bro was not on my 2026 bingo card. Anyway, I’m just blocking people and moving on.

featuring incredible guest judges with some truly impressive credentials. and also I am there @darko.rup12.net @ashley.dev @josephruscio.bsky.social @aaronfrancis.com

This was such a fun project to be a part of. Thank you for including me, Jason.

I have nearly 28 years of parenting experience and that may sound impressive but that’s because you haven’t witnessed me negotiate bedtime with a five year old

What’s a word or phrase you grew up saying that you didn’t realize was wrong until you were too old? Mine was “Chester drawers.” My Southern mom called it that my entire childhood, so I just accepted that Chester invented drawers. I was in my mid 20s before someone slowly said “chest of drawers.”

My job would be significantly easier if I could remember things. Since that doesn’t appear to be happening, I started automating them instead.

Nothing activates my fight or flight response faster than opening a document and immediately seeing two people join to watch me type.

3D printing has fundamentally changed my relationship with impulse control.

The specific exhaustion of being perceived all day

Got the Oura Ring 5. The 4 was lasting a full week and the MOMENT they announced the 5 it started dying every 23 hours. Twenty-three. Not even a full day. My ring saw the press release and chose death. It's thinner and lighter though so congrats Oura, the psyop worked.

I have a recurring calendar reminder called “eat lunch.” This should tell you everything you need to know about how things are going.

Just crushed three bowls of Reese’s Puffs. I don’t remember eating the second one, so there may have been a brief dissociative episode. Elite cereal, though.

Having the best time hanging out with these dweebs at Microsoft Build this week! @ashley.dev @acolombiadev.bsky.social @martin.social #MSBuild

Heads up maintainers of packages, this is a big deal: github.com/orgs/communi...

I was talking to a friend today about how younger generations seem way less interested in technology than previous ones. She has teenagers, so I asked if she’d noticed the same thing. She stared at me for a second and said, “My kid microwaved glue last week.”
