"Most likely to rewrite the internet in PHP". This is the most accurate award I could be granted LOL.
This is just the reminder I needed and shall be my new motto going forward 🙂.
This is me after solving a tough code problem: "Yay! I finally solved it"
5 min later: "Why didn't I think of this solution sooner? Let me write it down so I remember to blog about it"
Time goes on: no blog post written.
... and the cycle repeats lol. Committing to breaking the cycle for 2025 💪🏾
Honestly I want this theme in my IDE 💙
I contemplated creating one but it'll have to wait for when I have some down time.
I oddly had the opposite experience. My prev job was really pushy about everyone on the eng team using copilot.
My IDE was already bogged down & I really didn't want something else eating up memory.
When I finally installed it per a direct request, I simply continued not using it 🤷🏾♀️
As a clumsy person I can totally relate.
✅ computer + me = safe
🛟 anything w/ hands = daily gamble
Once, I sliced my finger & needed small stitching from using scissors to cut boxes.
I have some other cut of equal seriousness on another finger & I know my fingerprints will never be the same lol.

Your cat stole my cat's face (just kidding lol).
Hi Matias👋🏾 say hi to Panda :)
I really like this concept and will certainly give it a try when it's ready.
On a less serious note, you still have the opportunity to name the files ".fml" lol.
🙋🏾♀️ Hello, it's me (sings like Adele lol)
I can't believe I've gone so long without using custom hooks in React.
I'm having to work around some frustrating limitations of using the latest version of Next.js with the latest version of Shopify's App Bridge for an embedded app and hooks have really come in handy 💪🏾
Congratulations 🎉👏🏾
It must feel absolutely amazing knowing you've made & sustained so much progress. I'm sure it took a lot of dedication & hard work.
I too am on a weight loss journey so I know all the feelings that come along the way.
You deserve all the praise for this achievement 🤗
At this point the product backlog should be named black hole cause some tickets never make it out.
Some things sit long enough to get stale, then closed, but there has to be a better way to manage products.
It always saddens me when good stuff gets buried because of ever changing "priorities" 🙄.
Good morning.
My day is going well so far. I find it pretty hard to screw up the weekend unless I have to go see family & deal with traffic.
No outside = pure happiness for me 🙂.
Hopefully your weekend goes well too.
Thank you for checking 😊
Are you able to see if your own handle shows as invalid or is it only other people who can see it's invalid?
Mine looks fine when I go to my profile or look at my own posts but with the number of invalid handles I'm seeing I wonder if other people see my handle properly like I do.
Sending all the good vibes your way. Good luck🤞🏾
There's a searchable directory of starter packs here: blueskydirectory.com/starter-packs/
I don't think I found anything that specifically says "software engineers" but I did find a web dev starter pack.
If they're an indie hacker/solo dev they could all be the same person 🙂. But most of the time these roles are completed by different folks like you've stated.
I'm sure anyone who's tried to do all three can appreciate the separation of these roles when working in a team.
If you really don't like the null coalescing operator variable assignment, you could initialize $total as null then set it to $x if $x is set 🤷🏾♀️
$total = null;
if (isset($x)) {
$total = $x;
}
I was just going to say someone should create a website called wtfJS listing all the oddities we come across.
Lo and behold, it exists (wtfjs.com).
Perhaps it's successor can be wtafjs (what the actual fuck) cause I feel like we all have that thought sometimes 🤣.
2020 - Laravel
2021 - Node.js, React
2022 - Svelte & a teenie bit of Rust
2023 - Bash/Shell scripting
2024 - Tailwind CSS
What's next? Enhancing my skills in the technologies where I'm less proficient. In the future, PostgreSQL & Python.
How about you?
An image showing a timeline of dates and web technologies that came out over time along with sarcastic remarks for each new technology.
Saw this image on Reddit & it made me think about my own software development journey & what comes next on my roadmap
Here's my timeline:
2004 - HTML, CSS for making MySpace & Xanga purdy
2008 - Teenie bit of PHP
2019 - Full speed ahead on PHP, along with JavaScript, jQuery & MySQL
(continued ...)
Solving technical problems with the help of others can be just as valuable as figuring things out on your own as long as you treat each moment of help as a learning experience and absorb the information provided to you.
That or someone bought a domain for a name you were thinking of and isn't using for anything and now you can't have it either 🫠.

X is now an ex lol. Hello humans of blue sky 👋🏾.
My name is Shakima, I'm a self-taught developer who likes to spend their free time tinkering on their motorcycle more than riding it lol. I kid, it's just not prime time riding season for me yet 😎
Nice to e-meet you.
Yup good 'ol MySpace mixed in with Xanga too.
I would sneak on the computer during the midnight hours fixing up my MySpace and Xanga layouts then a few years later, I was doing the same thing with my externally hosted blog.
Little 11y/o me would be so proud of how far I've come 20 years later 😊
