While I’m trying not to post job-related content here, I’m super happy with the progress the team is making on the new render engine system for Penpot 🫀
We talked about it at Penpot Fest, in case you’re curious about what we’ve been working on these past few months www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciG0...

Timeline cleanse! One of the best programs in Barcelona: En Bici Sense Edat (by bike without age). People with reduced mobility are able to ride in back of bikes around the city, even to the beach.

I read the garbage opinion article on immigration in London, written by a Danish immigrant who lives in Marbella (Spain) and Malibu (US).
What kind of twisted reality distortion does it take to be anti-immigration while being an immigrant yourself? Oh yeah, it's called classism and racism. Got it.

Friendly reminder: your office’s cleaning team are coworkers too, treat them in the same way. It’s very easy to say hi and ask about their day. They may not be on your team doing engineering work but they work in the same office.
I absolutely hate when office workers act like they’re invisible. 😤

My favorite part of CrossFit is developing gymnastics and weightlifting skills because I love being able to do things I once thought were impossible.
Today, I finally got my coordination and mobility right for my first set of 10 toes-to-bar reps! 🥳💪

I loved Mimi's talk at Future of Coding meetup in London (lu.ma/foclondon), she was so curious, creative and funny 💯
She showed us how she redesigned Apple's Weather app to be more helpful using natural language. You can check out more of her project at github.com/mimireyburn/... ⛈️

This was last night at the Future of Coding meetup in London (lu.ma/foclondon)
@todepond.com gave a very cool demo about how you can create music by coding with strudel.cc and mix it together with others in real time using nudel.cc 🤯
I don't think a live coding demo can get any cooler than this 💯🔝

I need a water filter for my flat in London.
In Barcelona, I use this Spanish company that provides you with water filters for the whole year tappwater.co/products/eco...
They also operate in the UK, so that would be a good option. Do you know any other UK company that I should consider instead? 🤔
