Josh Santos

Hey hey! I’m Josh, nice to meet you! I’m a fullstack dev. Somehow, shrimp and food make it to my workplaces… either physically or in code. Got started by being a first hire in multiple start ups! Also, a dad to two beautiful cats, Milky Way and Comet

This is Milky Way (aka Mik Mik)

Aswang Hunters from the Philippines, hailing from Mindanao, Luzon and Visayas 🇵🇭 #KPOPDEMONHUNTERS #artph

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

hear me out...💘 #KPOPDEMONHUNTERS #KDA

Okay, cannot stop watching kpop demon hunters and listening to the songs from the movie 😭

hey panera can we have the lemonade that kills us again

New blog: I’ll admit, this one’s a bit of a ramble, mostly because I care a lot about how we give feedback, how we receive it, and why it so often feels like an attack (even when it isn’t). TL;DR: Feedback is care, when it’s done with intention. ashley.dev/posts/feedba...

Mik is doing beach

Regressed and played league of legends 😔 the new game mode is pretty fun

I’ve been taking photos again lately, here are a couple pictures of our cats. Milky Way (Mik Mik) and Comet.

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

longing for Daniel Craig to announce the weekend

today I learned about how to make a child div stretch to it’s parents height… parent: flex item-stretch child: flex-grow i’ve been doing a hacky approach like h-[calc(100dvh-3.5rem)] which could lead to silly height problems. why didn’t i actually look this up before? 🤷🏽 12yr/o stackoverflow too

This is 100% going to get so much usage if this actually gets dropped!! such a big tease 😭😭

Super excited to try this out! Backend-agnostic too!? 🫢

Introducing the gorilla to the joy of spreadsheets, reliable 99.99% API uptime, and increasing shareholder value 🙂‍↕️

Omg web devs are eating so good with this

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Took a break from writing test and started adding more again. This week it reminded me that writing with Vitest, with a watcher, is such a pleasure. Using it to prototype, refine implementations, ensure regression and cover test cases. I moved slowly, but it enabled me to move faster and safer

happy friday

tried vibe coding, and somewhere along the way I had to rip out a lot of the code, and these were some of the commits

Pixel peeped a little too hard and fixed a visual weight alignment 🙂‍↕️

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

a little sad that tanstack table doesn't work well with the new react compiler :(

This Friday feels like a Monday

Back from the trenches of figuring out why a component kept re-rendering 🥲

First Chinese takeout of the year, and the fortune cookie didn’t have a fortune… I guess we’ll just make our own

Going to try ridding curse words from my vocabulary this year

Funny that the month I was most active is when I got let go this year 😅 then being the most active on saturdays, revenge coding for my own mental git-wrapped.com/profiles/mrn...

WHY DOES MY KITCHEN FAUCET NEED BATTERIES TO WORK!?!?!?

I wish there were long running tv shows. Like why do modern tv shows only have single digit episodes?

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

The team usually puts me on frontend tickets…. Got a nice fullstack ticket this sprint! And went WILLLDD on this new api & sql 😤

It’s so quiet in slack this week

idk what everyone is talking about, that ending of arcane was gr8!!!!!!!!! ((im severely choking on mucus))

The last Arc of Arcane is out!! CANNOT WAIT TO WATCH IT

Time to remember where I left off on Friday…

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Going to the office would be soooooo much better if there was a poké stop/gym i can spin

HIRE ZEU!! Zeu already has multitudes of people praising her programming prowess! Besides being a based dev, she’s also very vocal in the dev community! Excited for her next chapter 🙏🏽
