The Overcommitted hosts recently sat down with @christinacodes.dev and learned her approach to building "silly software"! Want to learn web sockets? Build a cursed video player! Saw a joke about coding with Gen Z slang? make a Babel plugin! Add a twist, make it fun, and learn by doing!

I’m so proud of the @resend.com team!! They’ve been putting in the work to make features that are complex to build and easy to talk about. Here’s today’s news:

Working on something cool today 🎥🎞️

Awww I’m glad you got one!!! 🤩

When I saw this “approved travel expenses” line item in the Resend handbook, I thought it had to be too good to be true. My new massage therapist and I can confirm that it’s real 💆🏼‍♀️ ily @resend.com

Got a new Mac, what should I install first?

I saw a message scrawled in the sand and thought, “there’s poetry there.” So I wrote about it. christinacodes.dev/writing/ephe...

I saw this knitting pattern and immediately knew I had to make myself a pair 🏠🌤️🧦 can’t wait to finish the second one!

Finished the sweater I was making for my niece 🧶🥰 It’s made of brioche stitch, which is a cute name and makes a really fluffy and nice fabric, but it took forever for me to figure out 🙃 anyways, I’m pleased with the result and hope she likes it!

It’s not every day that you write code so bad that it wins you a trip to NYC. Thanks, @mux.com, for having me on the blog to share how I used WebSockets and bad intentions to write the internet’s worst video player.

start a new high-power startup job next week, so I thought, “what can I do during my time off that’s the complete opposite of that?” And now I’m in the middle of a 500-acre ranch in Oklahoma.

My sister took me on an ATV ride that left me contemplating life, death, and getting older. I wrote something about it. christinacodes.dev/writing/sonder

Started knitting last year and now whenever I visit a new place, the first thing I look up is “yarn shops near me”
