Jordan Lamoreaux 2025 Year In Review My reflections on 2025

I don't always post on here. But when I do, it's to share my redesigned site and my year in review blog. jlmx.dev/blog/2025-ye...

AppTrack - Smart Job Application Tracker with AI Coaching Organize your job search with AI-powered tools. Track applications, generate cover letters, analyze resumes, and prep for interviews. Start free today!

When I was job searching I needed help keeping track of my applications and improving my chances of getting an interviews. So I created apptrack.ing and with it's help I got multiple offers and final round interviews.

Oh and it has a "roast my resume" feature which is a bit of fun.

When I started searching for a new job, I quickly grew tired of updating applications in random spreadsheets.

I leveraged AI to created tools for custom tailoring resumes for specific rolls and assess how good of a fit I would be for a roll.

Behold, apptrack.ing was born!

"You're right!"

Every message I get back from AI seems to start with that. It feels good to be told I'm right, but also disappointing because I keep having to correct obvious errors.

I just created something. Cannot wait to launch 👀

Sometimes missing out on that thing you really wanted ends up meaning you dodged a bullet.

Google search. Using it less and less in favor of AI.

Waiting 7 minutes for my @anthropic.com Claude usage limit to reset... Reminds me of waiting for nights and weekends back in the day so as to not waste my cell phone minutes.

Oh Slack is like DOWN down.

Literally me right now

Giving Ted Mosby "chameleon" vibes

It's once again FOMO week. Hope everyone has a great time at #reactmiami

If Adam isn't safe... who is?

@quincy.bsky.social tried to DM you, but understandably have your DMs locked down.

D. Hands down.

Debating whether it was worth waking up in the middle of the night to see a lunar eclipse

It’s my desk and it’s a mess. Two monitors and a laptop. A bar light over one of them. A coffee mug and a mess of bills and other mail to the right. Somehow there’s a bottle of Elmer’s glue too?

As you can see… I run a tight ship 😅

I've been racking my brains trying to get vitest to work with runes using Svelte5 / Sveltekit.

I feel like there's so many variables at play. Is it because i'm on Svelte 5? Is it because I'm using Bun? Is it a Sveltekit thing?

Has anyone else ran into this?

SERIOUSLY! I accidentally open my accessibility settings multiple times a week.

Drive through screen reads “ReBooting…” (note the capital “B”)

At the drive through and I had to ReVerse to ReView what I saw and ReAct to it.

I think about how to implement this every time I come across one, but have never taken the time to look into how it’s done or to try it out on my own.

How many times did you microwave the same cup of coffee today before drinking it? I’ll start:

Me looking to order something and seeing shipping is more than a day or two.

Gotta rep for my wife Penny. I wouldn't care too much about this competition but she's amazing and so is her little guy, Ren. Today is DOUBLE VOTE day! Give him a free vote, it takes like 5 seconds!

It's also a fundraiser for paws.org. If you want to donate to a good cause you get even more votes.

Having an internet outage really makes me wish more apps/devices/etc were local first.

Will Ren take home $10,000 and be featured on the cover of Modern Cat? You decide! Ren is a 9 year old Turkish Angora rescue cat and fully deaf. He’s full of personality and understands simple sign language communication.

Our cat, Ren, is in the running to be “America’s Favorite Pet”

Give him a free vote if you can, plus there’s the opportunity to donate to paws.org!

@svelte.dev actually pulling out the rick roll in their tutorial 😂

I’d like to admit that the whole DeepSeek thing is probably my fault. I finally bought $NVDA stock last week so this was bound to happen.
