Had a great time at yesterday's Stripe event 🥳 it always feels good to be invited to a tech event hehe

this was a great re-introduction to what is React and where the team is at right now - it's been a while since I've kept up to date on React happenings!

Just finished my first technical screen interview in months - the last one I went through was in February. 🥹

it really is brutal out here...

Always a pleasure to learn from @stephaniewalter.bsky.social - today on Cognitive Biases 101 (wow really brings me back to my Psych days!) hosted by @smashingmagazine.com 😄

It's about to start in a couple of minutes!
- Sarah L. Fossheim, about accessibility and dataviz issues
- I'll talk about how to design for accessibility
- Kardo Ayoub will share his personal story of becoming a visually impaired designer
- Geoff Graham will host our panel

Free tickets!

Grateful that being in the EST time zone means that I can attend more @smashingmagazine.com talks - like today's one on Accessibility!

put on my big girl CS pants and started the not-for-credit CU Boulder: Foundations of Data Structures and Algorithms Specialization Course on Coursera (phew, that's a mouthful...)

2 to prep and 3 to gain admission - 2025 let's goooo 📖

wtf wdym in python I dont have to convert a string into an array and loop over the array in order to print each character in string (thanks javascript)

Going to take December as a time to recoup my thoughts, reflect, and pause on job applications for the moment - I've been going at it since August with nothing progressing past 1st stages, so even as an experienced 5+ YOE FE dev, my self-esteem is taking a huge hit 😔

best part about bluesky is that also all the art accounts are here!!! 🥹😻💗

I once ran social media for the 2019 edition of JSConf.asia and met so many lovely folks from there, and once there was a mass exodus from the bird app I felt like I lost touch with a lot of them - so glad to discover familiar faces again on here!

We've now got an official logo for CSS: https://github.com/CSS-Next/logo.css

So happy to have found more frontend folks with this starter pack! :D bsky.app/starter-pack...
