When your team has potluck/bring a plate to share type event, who made the thing your colleagues bring? I recently realised I haven’t truely enjoyed working in teams where the colleague’s partners made those sharing dishes. Correlation or causation?

Well, thanks Arc for prompting me to finally switch. Just finished moving to Crest. Lets see how long I can conifer until I have to make another switch…

Today I learnt that Google Doc’s tables aren’t accessible. Lovely

A friend made this to my great amusement! aifails.wtf

Today I learnt from Tour de France that boobs are more aerodynamic. Fab. I’m looking forward to hearing what they’d enforce; ban padded bras, or force chest compression.

I learnt that it’s illegal to forage from Mt Hakodate… From a couple of local aunties who were doing just that in front of us. Classic Japan 🤣

"Wake up to a news day!" ad for a news media company, doesn't seem to get that what they think is enticing is depression inducing for their consumers

Always love an draft talk runthrough with insightful friends. Insights like: - This talk is missing Steve-ness - Should put in a tear trigger warning - If we're going to pick a muscle, pick brain

🎉 Looking for new work. 15 years front-end dev + Design Systems specialist. I help folks build, maintain & transform design systems. I'm also available for focused projects, front-end builds, codebase modernisation. Short to long term. Let's chat - stu@alwaystwisted.com reposts appreciated <3

Had a gleeful discussion about performance issues of a micro-frontend project. My friends and I thoroughly opposed that architecture for this project a few years back. I feel vindicated.

Oooh, my medical centre is moving to another patient portal. No that's a juicy migration. I wonder if this had anything to do with the recently well publicised data breach. Nerdery end. Back to normal family dinner convo

This weekend I learnt: When taking an official event's group photo, don't handover the mirrorless camera to a complete beginner. Just use the latest iPhone you can find.

I fired up a Stardew Valley year 5 save from two years ago... Felt incredibly lost, gave up, and went to fold laundry instead.

Procrastinated from writing a talk submission by cleaning the fan, and oiling hinges around the house. Responsible adulting?

To you brave backbones of IT, carrying the support torch while the rest of us emerge from our Christmas-pud-induced comas, we see you. You’re the real IT heroes and we know you’ve got the war stories to prove it. Submit yours here: sessionize.com/code-camp-we...

Today I learnt that Playwright will not treat a tag without href as a link. Well done

So, apparently it's rare to find a software dev who can efficiently translate and switch between "Developer" "Designer" "Product Owner" "C-Level" and "Normal humans" dialects.

There is no such thing as a "simple" 40 fields form.

Just had classic moment of a typo destroying your code... I found it by manually comparing code one line at a time over 2 days. I thought AI coding assistance was suppose to be able to help me quickly find crap like this. It certainly did not, and kept suggesting some very useless stuff

Today I learnt that adding double spaces as the end of a line in markdown render as a line break. At least, it does on Eleventy's nunjucks templating... Yes sure, we shouldn't use line break all that often. But address new line is a perfectly legitimate scenario. Surely.

Ok, so we were joking when we said our CFP *might* close on 1 August. It is actually 10 August! Sunday! Yes Sunday! NZT! Submit now, or forever... enjoy the con without the sense of speaker panic? kawaiicon.org/cfp/ (And yes, tickets are SOON.)

It is that time! Call for Participation (CFP) time! Got a talk in mind? Done some cool research? Want to do something for hallway con? Want to be able to summon sparkle pots on cue? Submit to our CFP! Closes eventually, so just get your submission in now! kawaiicon.org/cfp/

I've clocked 50+ hours into this restaurant management game... And only just found out that I could buy equipment upgrades at least 25 hours ago! It's hidden in a tab of a floating UI. GRRRRRRRR

I left my job after almost 7 years yesterday. It's early afternoon… Do I catch up on life admin, play games, or go for that healthy walk?

I finally got it out and here's the link - looking forward to it. events.humanitix.com/designing-fo...

Just discovered inbento. Such an adorable puzzle game! Perfect as a short casual play to wind down. Interesting, but not much time commitment ❤️

I told people at work that I'm leaving, and they can continue to follow my writing on clarified.dev. 15+ sign up is more than enough motivation for a burnout soul. I thought I'd be lucky to get 5 😭 Appreciating my colleagues so much right now.

Thanks to my mate Steve, I now have a go-to-clip for when I want a laugh or review my talk structure 🤣 www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZBK...

As my last day at work approaches… I’m very tempted to create a set of lint rule, automate PR of it to all codebases in the company, hand my laptop over then leave. But may be not. Tech community is rather small, and I ain’t got many bridges left to burn

I've been told that my spicy internal blog posts are only spicy to those with context. Otherwise it reads like a reasonable post. How flattering. Now if only I can figure out how to do that consciously...

Excited to announce I've begun the process of building out my first set of courses: 'WCAG for Designers'. If you're interested in learning how to understand and apply the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines as a designer, feel free to drop a follow or sign up for updates at shellelittle.com

"You can't bake a cake without breaking a few eggs" I'm getting tired of this saying from proponents of "move-fast n break-things" mentality. You can actually bake a cake without eggs at all. Flax seeds is a perfectly normal vegan substitute.

Our retro regularly run overtime. This one ran short. "Interesting, we don't have much to talk about in today's retro" "It's the first sprint in a long time, where we don't have to pivot half way" "Oh. Right" "Don't worry, next sprint we'll be back to normal" 😅 🥲

So I was sorting through speaker photos from @nztechrally.bsky.social 2023... And realised that it's sooo hard to get nice photo of someone public speaking! I suppose as a speaker, you just have to give up on that. I rarely get a good shot myself. When it happens, it's a miracle 😅

Some exciting news - @emmabostian.bsky.social and I just wrapped up recording for a new season of @ladybug.dev! This new season is all on engineering management! We're editing now, so stay tuned for a launch date. We're excited to be back in your ears soon!

I do like coming into the office, to find free instrument for whacking fragrant buttered steaks. Or someone after an awful meeting... That aside, this is enough rosemary to supply a steakhouse. Thanks, owner of a clearly gigantic rosemary bush, for this morning's giggle

Weather has been swinging between 12-37c. I’ve been in this hotel for 7 days. Today I just found out that I can manually work the air con to save my sanity. Better late than never… I suppose

I don't know if I'll have the energy after women's breakfast, and being on-edge waiting for my turn to speak by this time... But I'll try very hard to be there. Sounds like great fun!! #DDDMelbourne
