Btw finally went live with this email provider migration and sent something to 98% of my mailing list instead of 60% so belated merry Christmas to me! (Excuse the “rubbish” content.)

Spent two hours writing code to future-proof something only to change my mind and delete it because the scale of user impact wasn’t worth the tech debt.

Frustrating, but I’m also proud of putting perfectionism aside. Knowing when to say “no” or “that’s enough” is my most crucial dev skill lately!

😂 Doh, grownups get all the fun

👋🏽 Late to the sky party but hai all! Been busy making something solo and missing a friendly techy space to share my thoughts, pains and sweet software nothings with.

If you missed it over at the 'other place', here's the lowdown on what I'm building & its "why": www.linkedin.com/pulse/when-p...
