To save from paying $4 for party invitations, I bought a $13.99/yr domain and made a party invitation site, so it ends up being free in a sense. #developermath

Today my 3rd grader is taking a big test on US govt and the economy, while both are actively falling apart 🥀 Anywayyy I’ve been making digital practice flashcards for him & his classmates to practice with for all subjects (using Claude) and adding new card decks as they learn more material 🥂

Made list called “To-Do List” that only had one item on it: Finish writing to-do list It’s 8:50 at night and I still can’t mark it done

I wish sleep was a real thing. Looks so peaceful when I see it in movies

Officially at the age where when I say “I’m so old” no one says “no you’re not!” back 🥀 It’s just nods of acknowledgement.

At least in the circles I follow, there's been so much about educators leaving the space because of the various impacts of AI, but everyone is sick of the state of things. Push enough talent away, and bad things are going to happen. youtu.be/1aW7P3ZAUYw

Everything outside of your comfort zone is..the zone of discomfort. So growth is, by definition, uncomfortable. Discomfort isn’t the sign to go back or stop

Remembering that one time I was speaking very passionately in a huge meeting about a very serious topic and I got this very unserious notification, which made me reflect on how much I talk with my hands lmao 💅🏾

don't be nice.

I absolutely adore really intelligent people with silly senses of humor

Started growing vegetables inside and they were doing GREAT until I went away for a couple of days and half the seedlings were dying 😩 Bought a raised bed and put them all outside this morning and now ALL of the seedlings are dying 🥀

A nod to the amazing @joshwcomeau.com 💕

Ticket-taking used to feel like the job. Kent asks @shaundai.com what is left for traditional software engineers as AI keeps shrinking coding time. Full episode and notes: https://www.epicproduct.engineer/curiosity-micro-sales-and-ai-as-a-supplement-with-shaundai-person~smf9h

@shaundai.com's product habit: walk the feature as a user first. What if my kid picked this up? Then ask the question - never start with a big disagreement. Full episode and notes: https://www.epicproduct.engineer/curiosity-micro-sales-and-ai-as-a-supplement-with-shaundai-person~smf9h

@shaundai.com on AI hype: stop waiting for the model to save you. Use it as a supplement, and get better at making software sustainable with it. Full episode and notes: https://www.epicproduct.engineer/curiosity-micro-sales-and-ai-as-a-supplement-with-shaundai-person~smf9h

@shaundai.com on collaboration: every cross-team ask is a micro-sale. First sell the conversation. Then the small piece of work. Then the next step. Full episode and notes: https://www.epicproduct.engineer/curiosity-micro-sales-and-ai-as-a-supplement-with-shaundai-person~smf9h

My 8yo was pretending to be a cop and I was a villain. Once he caught me, he asked for my consent to arrest me. I politely declined. He said “aww, okay” and moved on.

People mispronounce and misspell my name all the time, so when someone asks for my name at a restaurant or Starbucks or whatever I just give them my nickname (Dai) But now I have them spell it phonetically bc one time someone yelled “DIE!!! 💀🔪” instead of “Day ☀️🌺” at me and I jumped sooo high 😅

🎉 Registration is now open for my latest course, Whimsical Animations! This course will teach you everything you need to know to design and build stunning, creative animations and interactions. It’s time to make the web less generic and boring! 😄

Which of you intelligent folks are creating or consuming content about using AI responsibly in interviews and schools? My sister is doing research for her grad school and is looking for some resources!

A non-exhaustive list of people who are incredibly funny and easy to talk to and I’d love to hang with more: @kat.lol

Food excites me, period. But, pretty food? In a to-go box? Yeah I’m about to Cookie Monster this thang in the parking lot 😂

JIRA giving the comments I wrote yesterday a relative date of “last month” is- why, man? 😭
