Just watched Inception again. Great movie, and doesn’t feel like it has been released that long ago. But Inception is now as old as The Lion King was at the time inception was released 🤯

My older daughter is having a sleep over and while it is more stressful than a regular weekend in some regards and less stressful in others, I absolutely love the mornings. Mostly, because for a short time, I get the feeling I used to have when doing sleepovers as a kid for just a moment.

Working on a button component doesn't have to hurt 👇

Say about AI what you will, but the fact that I can basically tell my editor to "write tests for that", go make coffee and come back to a very solid first draft for tests is great.

Doing a bit of housekeeping on my website today. Was tempted (and even started) to start from scratch, but decided I wanted to clean up instead.

Given how the past week went, I want to publicly thank Mr. Arthur J. Ibuprofen for his invention. Took some Ibu 400s this week and they worked great. The dedication to do 399 iterations just to find product market for on 400. Truly inspiring!

Friends don't let friends raise big PRs that could have easily been split up into multiple smaller ones

Sometimes, Copenhagen doesn’t feel like a real place. #photography

Huge personal update: I bought an proper office chair.

I upgraded to Tailwind CSS v4 today, and it was bit of a bumpy ride to migrate to the new config, but i also made some discoveries and thought: why not share them? timomeh.de/posts/upgrad...

Good morning Starting the new year off with an on-call shift. All quiet so far 🤞 (Also looking into Go)

What can I say

Nice late Christmas present: Been holding $MVST for about two years now, averaging down time and time again to ~$0.80. Nice to see it gaining momentum again those last few days.

ChatGPT is down. Does that mean my job is temporarily not in danger?

First On-Call shift of the holiday season ended with 0 calls 👏

Had a (somewhat) clean shave for the first time in probably 15 years yesterday. Wife hates it, I’m so-so 🤷‍♂️

I’m having a conversation with my mom about something I want for Christmas and a week later Santa gives it to me. When will we pass privacy regulations

I don’t get why we’re still arguing wether or not Christmas miracles are real when there’s CLEAR evidence for them. An example, you ask? Here, I published something on my blog today. Miracle! www.chrisjarling.com/posts/transi...

I did not expect Coldplay to be my most played artist this year

Not sure when the last time was that happened 🤯

This created some fun oddities for us in the past few days. Sharing just in case your CI is doing funky things as well and you have no idea why. github.com/actions/runn...

Test locally with MAMP, drag&drop it onto FileZilla and the. pray it will not break on production. Those were the days

Oh boy am I excited to have founds this back in my feed 🙌

Exciting times: We're now partnered with Vodafone in the UK 🇬🇧 www.uktech.news/news/gigs-in...

To this day 😤

I know it’s not much but the ScyllaDB cluster we’re all posting to right now was named in honor of @krisnova.net

"Popular with Friends" is such a nice feed! I always liked that X would show me content from accounts that I did not follow, but the fact that it was just based on _something_ was annoying and it usually sucked. If "Popular with Friends" starts sucking, I probably have the right friends on here.

Successfully managed to ignore every single one of my physical needs today

so.. I switched to the management track

I found myself on the verge of switching to Safari a few times over the past week. Might just give it a proper go.

Kinda got nerdsniped on macOS ricing. As the law required, I'm going the catppuccin route first. Not fully there yet (will I ever be? send help) but like the direction so far

I think it shows that I mostly ask about work-related stuff. Also pretty sure I'd be in serious trouble with my wife if I wrote "SAAS HELL" on they wall

I feel attacked

Mood

This thread about Sketchybar setups makes me feel all the feelings! I mean, look how beautiful that is. Down the rabbit hole I go 🫡 github.com/FelixKratz/S...

Shout out to @joshwcomeau.com's principles. He closed his 135K Twitter account, despite it being a major marketing tool for his content and courses. He spent his final days informing his followers about the election before closing it and moving here. Protest isn't always convenient.

Got the urge to start a Minecraft server with friends

I'm now @chrisjarling.com, that was much easier than I thought it would be. I like this place.

We put the baby to sleep for the night. The baby decided it was only a two hour nap 🙃

I‘m always super psyched to see Gigs represented somewhere, but the wealthsimple homepage looks extra sleek

It's funny how X has a serious (negative) impact on my mental health and I fail to realize it over and over again. It's been two days of not opening it and hanging around here instead and I feel so much less anxious.

A week of PTO over, psyched to be back at work! (Please don’t judge my nonexistent cable management)

Like almost all social media platforms in their early days, the vibes are great right now because everyone’s posting about the things they love. It always goes south when everyone starts posting about the things they hate. How about this time we all agree to keep it this way?

Another one filled up. Can’t wait for the new one to look all worn out

First post so uh.. 👋 Hi Im Chris. Senior Fullstack Engineer at gigs.com living in Copenhagen with my family. I talk about work and my side projects (I jump between them a lot) as well as my new life in Denmark. Sometime I try to take pretty pictures as well.
