does it violate Twitter’s ToS if clients can have a ‘hide tweet’ button? like, i don’t want to report it, i just don’t want to see it until (my feed updates)

today was maybe the first time i've had one airpod's battery drain fully and i had to switch to the other one while the first one charged.

@karenmcgrane @beep i'm sorry, i should clarify: the podcast will be missed, and i attempted to make a joke about responsive design.

if i ever get around to writing a memoir, it will probably be titled “I’m so tired and stupid.”

@evanleahquinn but YMMV, there’s also the factor of (how i wasn’t able to) afford to live in Seattle proper. that was a lot bigger part of it.

@crtr0 one thing i was bummed about - i wanted to include Ralph the robot but i’m totally out of @thoughtbot stickers. maybe my friend @jyurek could help? :)

@mikesusz
the fact that they've solved this problem with less industry experience than I have is irrelevant. they chose to focus on this problem, and came up with an excellent solution. AND they shared it. that's all that matters.

@mikesusz
whenever I reach these situations now, I search for help from the community. almost always, someone has documented a fix for the problem or something similar to lead me to success. and probably half the time, that person is younger than I am.

@mikesusz
a lot of times I see someone as (old) as I am complain about something, and you see them justify their frustration with "well I've been making websites since (stone age)! this is difficult!"
mike susz
@mikesusz
(not long ego enough) I gave up the notion that, since I've been doing this job for so long, new things presented to me should be self-evident. user and designer requirements have elevated, and we must keep learning to meet them.

i know there are lots of people with bigger problems today, but i’m trying to understand why the plow driver did this. that’s 38” deep snow they left in front of my driveway, BACKED UP and drove around the pile.

@jlengstorf @marisamorby oh also, congratulations! :D

@DanielBrian i should clarify; my idea often isn’t the final destination. but i could have sped us along the journey by voicing it.

my experience following a code tutorial:
1. find a tutorial from within the past year
2. watch introduction to make sure its relevant
3. clone the git repo
4. run npm/yarn install
5. deal with dependency issues and errors for an hour
6. rm -rf the directory
7. close the tab

anyone who made new years resolutions and are beating themselves up for slacking on them: just restart. tell your device to remind you monthly/bi-weekly.
