a lesson i just learned at 34 is that it’s apparently never too late for your first game of flip cup
love to have COVID anxiety about my scratchy throat and then remember the air quality is bad again

trying my hand at another sourdough focaccia after my last one came out super wrong 😅 i think i have a better idea of what happened now, tho! last time, i over-developed the gluten and then let it overproof because it wasn’t rising during its final proof. this time is already going SO much better!
such a good feeling when you become enough of a regular at one of your new favorite spots that they start giving you free stuff 🥰
finally got cross-posting to Bluesky working last night; the AT protocol is seriously frustrating to use and the docs are no help at all. i had to scour their test suite and watch network requests while posting on the web 😒 posting an @mention or link is bad, unfurling a link is EGREGIOUSLY bad
Feels absolutely surreal to announce this, but it’s a huge milestone 🥲
I got promoted this week and earned my first “Principal Software Engineer” title after 13 years in the game 🎉
ME: ugh why won’t this sourdough starter monitor i just bought stay connected to my wifi?
ME [opening microwave to check on the jar]: … wait a second.
shipped a PR that changed how our entire site’s authentication works, without a feature flag, and nothing broke 🤘😎
if there’s not enough room for it in my dishwasher, there’s not enough room for it in my life
ME: I’m the only person on this website—
PARTNER (not letting me finish): Wow!
remember how dope StreetPass was back in the Nintendo 3DS era? i still wish they’d brought it back for the Switch, but @tvler took that idea and built a StreetPass browser extension for Mastodon! as you browse around, pages with a rel="me" link to someone’s Mastodon profile will accumulate in the extension just like walking by someone else with a 3DS 😂 https://streetpass.social
i created my Threads profile mostly just to take a look, and the app was instantly annoying. algorithmic feed, no way to turn off replies in the feed… it’s just thoughtless and unexciting engagement bait from blue checks and people i don’t know. pass.
