So stoked at getting this through the post today! 😁
A limited edition skateboard deck signed by my favourite skater PJ Ladd!
This represents such a piece of iconic skateboarding history to me.
Buzzing! 🚀
For a decade, the internet told me I had "imposter syndrome." Turns out I was just accurately assessing that I wasn't excellent at my job yet. Feeling nervous and inadequate is a normal part of learning and growing.
In light of bsky posts being scraped into AI training datasets, I will prevent my bangers from being harvested by making solely bad posts going forward.
Haters will say that this policy has already been in effect for some time.

Posting on Reddit is a rollercoaster. People picked on all the tiniest details. 😂
I didn’t take the comments personally though, and tried to see it as feedback.

In a whirlwind of courage, I emptied out about two-thirds of my drawers and half of my closet and packed it all into boxes. Community Living is coming by tomorrow morning to pick it all up. I am the greatest.
Wow. This really hits.
As an employee, I often felt like the ball in a pinball machine — frantically bouncing around to take on challenges, seize opportunities, and prove my worth. I never felt like I was realizing my full potential.
It was exhausting for me & I was probably exhausting to manage
I'll buy and send a copy of @devonpersing.bsky.social's excellent Accessibility Operations Guidebook to the first five folks who are interested in learning how to make digital accessibility work more sustainable.

They should be able to access that image too. Who knows? Maybe someday, anyone with good sight now could lose that privilege. Accessibility is a right, not a privilege. #Accessibility
Too much I could say about this very excellent piece from Erin, but I will start with noting that one way to shape the future of the web is to pay closer attention to the stories we use to talk about it: https://www.wrecka.ge/against-the-dark-forest/
Annnnd if you want even more, chapters 6 (delivery), 7 (testing) and 8 (operation/o11y) of the Serverless Development on AWS book have you covered! level-out.com/book/
Glad you enjoyed the talk Pip and some of the key points landed! We’ve been trying to show how the balance between testing and o11y is crucial for a few years and whenever it clicks for someone, we see a little sparkle in their eyes and there’s no going back!!

I think that’s more useful to people fighting the browser.
Picked up this little book of writers’ writing rituals, & I think most of em are liars — “up at dawn, 6 hours at my desk, followed by calisthenics, liquor, & reading edifying works.” But David Lynch delivers the goods.
I love how people tell me that I’m not going to make it and I should switch professions because I praise AI. 😂
Excuse me for using all the available tools that help me code faster without compromising quality.
