@kyleshevlin agreed mostly, but I wish I could load and upload images faster, keep not seeing them in posts and I keep getting timeouts when I try to upload my own.

I think the best part of being on Mastodon so far is not having to see hot takes about Tailwind any more.

Dear iPhone auto complete: I do not know Toni, I have never written that name, and do not see a reason to start. Please stop replacing “tonight” as I move my finger to press it. Thank you!

Still behind, but I got to 8449 words this morning. Will try to fit in some more writing later today. Action is about to set in, so that should help.

@kyleshevlin I've been thinking about this. On Twitter so many of my followers were there because of tech, that it was hard to start conversations about anything else. Maybe now's the time to lean into my other hobbies/interests.

I'm at 7578 words today, but I'm too exhausted to keep going. Gonna have to make it up over the next day or two, I think.

@briannawu 👋 I’m a software engineer and podcaster, I talk about web development, the card game I’m designing, and things my 7yo says.

Currently at 6728 words for NaNoWriMo! Feeling really good about how my story is taking shape. It's been really fun getting back into writing again, feels like forever since I wrote fiction like this.

Day 2 of NaNoWriMo down! I'm up to 3475 words.

@LibreNyaa do they stay on the original account so I can see them after? Or do I just need to make a list ahead of time?

@haayman @jmes oh that's awesome, didn't realize it had reached a stable state yet. Last I saw they were still in an early alpha, glad to see the progress.

I've mostly been pointing people at Quasar if they wanted a material component library since Vue 3 dropped, they supported it pretty early quasar.dev/

I think the big thing holding me up on Mastodon at this point is the server load being so high. Wondering if it’s too late to use another server, or if it would even make a difference since I’m interacting with folks on here.

@jmes @haayman hello! I’m always happy to chat about Vue or whatever.

@zachleat didn’t get one at the time sadly, main thing was a t-shirt with the JS logo on it.

@zachleat at work yesterday I dressed up as a new JS framework, got a laugh out of my team.

7yo: You keep telling me to walk faster, it’s like you’re telling me to walk into a blueberry bush.

Just added a "card of the day" widget to Star Commander's home page! It's written in Elm, but hydrated in Iles via Vue. It uses the date in UTC as a seed to get a random number, then displays the correct card.

@rho I’m always nervous talking about my transition publicly because I have no idea how my experience aligns with others, I didn’t have any knowledge of the community and almost no resources. I think it would be very helpful to be able to see more individual stories and experiences.

I think the main problem (not Heroku’s issue) is that a ton of older but still solid courses are written with deploying to Heroku as the goal. Going forwards we can use Render or Railway, but it still deprecated a whole swath of content that is otherwise useful.
