Someone should consider starting an eng podcast called “It Depends…” a show filled w/lukewarm takes, level-headed discourse about “the tradeoffs”, & examples of diff ways to solve the same problem. Every episode ends with 3 deep breaths & a parting reminder that we’re not exactly saving lives here

today is my 40th birthday. to toot my own horn a bit, I'm the happiest, healthiest, and most successful I've ever been, so I'm going to indulge myself and do one of those "40 things that made me who I am" threads so buckle up (or mute me for the next little bit 😆)

Elm Camp 2025 was a huge success! 🏕️ Being at an Unconf is a great re-focus on the people we impact (and gives us space to geek on tech, too)! It pumped so much energy into the Elm community, and I'm inspired by the ideas and conversations we shared together. See you all next summer ❤️

A friend and I beat @animalwell.bsky.social this weekend and it was very fun and cool. He was visiting for the holidays, and we switched off every time we found a hidden egg 🥚 10/10 was a surprisingly good couch co-op experience for being a single-player game!

I just picked up Kay's prototype bits over the holiday– super nice for making games in @godotengine.org without getting bogged down with the 3D art It has a nice animated character and building blocks for stubbing out houses and item pickups 🧱 Thanks, @kaylousberg.bsky.social ! ❤️

Last night, I picked up "A Short Hike" on Steam and played it until I got 100% achievements I LOVED IT!! Tonight, my wife and I are traveling for the holidays– so she’s playing on her Switch while I try out Night Stones! (They are both on sale in case anyone is looking for a cozy game night!) ☃️ 🎮

This is a wonderful way to introduce your friends to making their own website! 😍 Blake does such a nice job of staying focused and not deep-diving into correctness– a hard skill and VERY important in keeping beginners confident and excited to learn more 10/10 excellent job @blakewatson.com 🙌

I guess it’s not that I’m happy to get rid of the people on Twitter, I’m just happy to have pleasant interactions with real people again

Went to my first NBA game last Wednesday and had so much fun! 🏀 My wife and I aren’t really "sports people" so we joked that whatever team won (Bucks vs Bulls) we would decide that was our favorite team… but then the game started…

Over the course of the game, every time the Bucks scored I’d be bummed out – and everytime the Bulls scored I would cheer and get hyped The Bucks won, but it looks like I’m officially a Chicago Bulls fan!! I’m currently watching my 3rd Bulls game and already I’m very emotionally invested 😅
