Drew something again. Although I have been using procreate for more than 3 years, recently it really annoyed me more than a little bit. Thinking about trying csp on iPad. But to be honest I kind of like procreate being hard to use, which force me to draw in a more traditional way.

Used eyedropper a lot this time. The eyedropper button of procreate is hard to use, maybe it's time to buy an extra controller with physical button

Lately I've been experimenting with orzo instead of white rice for work meals. It do make me less sleepy after lunch!

Didn't make to office today because the time between two meetings was too short to drive there. The reason why I need a remote job.

Ha I followed a list of Japanese artists but see zero post of them on my discovery page, turns out I need to allow Japanese posts first!

I also have a pixelfed account (portfolio.pixelfed.social/owlhouse). They have a portfolio page and I do think it looks good. However the picture quality is poor. Time to build a portfolio page by my self!

I like bluesky because its recommendation algorithm sucks so I can easily close it after a few minutes of scrolling
And I try to hit like for every non-political post on my timeline to make the algorithm better

Actually my coworkers are really good ones, they are kind and smart, which make me even more confused. How could people like this write such crappy code? The only explanation is they just wanted to go fast and fix later. Now it's the "later" and I'm the one who supposed to fix them...

Found a slow function call in code and wondering where the return is used, clicked through 10+ functions then finally get to the destination, turns out it could be deleted (theoretically). The feeling of working on a onion like code base.

Casually looking for some new job recently. I found resume uploaded to Linkedin also needs some SEO...
Another interesting thing is I found most recruiters reached out to me are looking for senior or staff engineers. Man I'm just a less newbie programmer with 3 years experience...

Just liked a post about the US gov and signal stuff. Wow then in seconds posts about these were flooded over my timeline! The recommendation algorithm...
Time to click like to every drawing appeared on my timeline!

Yay found some artists I followed on twitter! Love it!

I was always wanted to make a game with frontend and I was keep learning react on and off (for 2 years...still can only write tic-tac-toe). Recently I'm thinking about maybe it's time to try vibe coding... But I do really hate uncertainty.

Finally registered bluesky
