fun news! I was laid off from Twilio.

going to take this weekend to chill out, and will start looking for roles next week.

if you or someone you know is looking for staff/principal level Developer Advocacy, OSPO, dev infra, or similar roles pass them along!

I really like the framing of your response! One thing I'd add is that this feature went through the RFC process where the non-standardness was discussed at length. If community members want more input on these types of features, participating in RFC discussions is a good way to do that.

Undertaker meme with the text: Building an alternative to Electron isn't as hard as people say. I built mine in basically a weekend, and I'll be publishing it as soon as I get it working on Windows and Linux.

Today marks 8 years since I started at Dropbox. It's a really interesting experience working on the same codebase for that long. Seeing the long-term impact of my own technical decisions and investments has helped me grow a lot as a software engineer.

In case you were looking to backup your kindle books (since Amazon is removing the option to download them on the 26th), this script works quite well in minimizing the click-pain of downloading them individually:

We just finished season 1 over the weekend. Knowing it aired like 3 years ago makes me nervous about finishing season 2 and having a long wait for more episodes ๐Ÿ˜…

I did solve day 1 on my phone, while taking a flight, which was an interesting challenge. Fun way to play around with Termux, but coding from a phone keyboard was less fun ๐Ÿ˜…

In past years I've used Advent of Code to get more comfortable writing Rust.

This year my theme is "father of three with no spare time" aka "the laziest node scripts you've ever seen"

Maybe it's unique to Pixel phones rather than being a universal Android thing. The comments here seem to indicate that it is ๐Ÿ™ www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS21/...

I'm sure you could use an OCR app to grab text from arbitrary images, but that's definitely less convenient.

Some Android flavors, you get to the app switcher with the square button at the bottom of your screen. Others, you can activate it by swiping up from the bottom of your screen and holding for a few seconds. Should look like this

Not sure exactly which Android version introduced it, but there's a similar feature available in the app switcher. I use it often to copy text from apps (especially banks) that don't directly enable text selection.

I haven't seen async callback Christmas trees like that for about as long as it's been since I've seen CoffeeScript ๐Ÿ˜…

Also love all those unused "err" parameters ๐Ÿ˜…

Clicking an image from someone's post, and then swiping back (on my Android phone at least), navigates away from Bluesky. On the other site the "back" gesture dismisses the image modal.
