Are there any online developer/entrepreneur/freelance communities you are apart of that you love?

And do they want another member?

I built a lamp

Sapelle wood. Built a template out of 1/4" ply and then used a router trim bit to get the curved arm. Bought the lampshade at value village for $5. Blew my breaker because I was silly then learned some more and did a much better job of wiring up the socket.

Our CleanBC review shows that transit expansion delivers maximum benefits while drastically cutting transportation emissions.

Demand action now: Complete the official CleanBC survey by August 1st (4 PM) to push for transit as a climate priority.

If prioritized homes for people like we prioritize homes for cars we would be much further along in dealing with this housing crisis.

I've just finished my plywood shelves and now I'm diving deep into all the other things I could make and materials I could use.

What if I used danish cord? or rattan? What if I made custom wooden lamps? I should add magnets to my work.

Wish me luck

Just finished Tiny Experiments by @neuranne.bsky.social and loved it! I've struggled with the expectation (societal? me? parental?) that I should be excellent at one thing or that I should focus on my career, especially post university. But there are there are so many things in life to try.

I had so much fun building bastila.app and I love the brand that @spencermarsh.bsky.social came up with.

It turned out to be a really useful tool at my job but with the rise of so many AI code quality and code helper tools I think the approach I had would have been left in the dust

I finished my shelving unit! All designed and built by me.

3/4" laminated plywood for most of it. 1/2" baltic birch for the sliding doors and drawer fronts.

Used a plunge router for the first time today. Would not recommend using it on a table that has wheels but otherwise it went well
