Glad to hear! Don't push it too hard, though. I made that mistake and I'm still recovering as a result 😭

That’s fair and I totally get it 😂

This is such a mood and I love it

We’ll never… ever… forget about Pluto

I’ve been well! It’s been quite the year 😂

Hope you’ve been doing good too!

Welcome back!

It really feels like the missing piece to work with data from an API. I took this for granted in Typescript/JS 😂

Is there a reason you don’t have arrays included? I added them myself but now I’m wondering if I’m missing something that would cause an error. So far it seems to work, tho!

I like the separate boxes for number only codes. It clearly shows each digit and bonus points if the email has extra spacing around each digit.

But...

"Can I paste? Where do I paste? Is my paste going to carry over into all of the little boxes?"

If it doesn't carry over I'm mega upset.

I bought @wesbos.com's "React for Beginners" course and not long after he released ES6 for everyone.

He kickstarted my career and now, after nearly 7 years of experience, is still teaching me new things. Absolutely amazing stuff.

Highly recommend his new video:

Masking can be effective but it’s also super exhausting, right?

Would you say you also struggle getting started with things you *have* to do but once started you’re done really quickly.

Oh yeah the adventures you’ll embark on when telling a story! In your mind, the side stories very much relate to the main story right?

I was diagnosed back in 2023. Things suddenly made so much sense. Therapy was massively helpful.

What are some things that trigger the thought?

It also gives me a great reason to finally get @sarahedo.bsky.social's "Engineering Management for the Rest of Us". I went through some of the open sourced parts before and they were super useful!

So much so that I'm trying to convince my manager to let me take @kvlly.com's self-paced management fundamentals course. It sounds like something even a non-manager would benefit from, which is great.

Hadn’t thought of it like that yet. When I was stuck in tutorial hell I didn’t feel confident enough to build something. Then we started recommending people to go and build.

Now, tho, people are overly confident in their abilities and shouldn’t build blindly.

What a wild turn of events!
