If you’re in the Portland, OR, area and need a different resource because AA isn’t for you, please send a DM and I can offer alternatives.
New site's up & I'm pretty happy with it! I built my first personal site back in 2017 with React just to show potential employers I could. This time around I get to say it's plain HTML/CSS & JS because that's all it needs!

Counterpoint: I would gladly go back to a 56k modem if that meant the internet would revert to a 2002 state as well.
every single person claiming to yearn for this would kill themselves if they were subjected to the tyranny of the 56k modem for one hour
This is doing numbers on social media right now and it's so depressing how people truly yearn for this shit and want to preserve that feeling indefinitely like a mausoleum of false memories.

I think one reason I was perceived as a valuable team member in my first two roles as a web dev was that I always volunteered to take on IE-only bugs.

How do newer devs get by with pretty good browsers across the board these days? 💀

I want AI that is smart enough to drop out of a PhD program.
"PhD-level experts in your back pocket" is a completely nonsensical description of AI but a pretty good description of social media if you follow the right people

Question for #100Devs, would it be helpful if I made myself available to you for coffee chats? I used to do so on the birdsite, but that was during an active cohort, so jus’ wanna get a feel for how useful it could be.
