It's so interesting how #javaScript treats falsy values. The difference between === and Object.is() is also worth knowing!

Cooked dinner for my parents today. They loved it. Unfortunately I improvised so much that I'll never be able to replicate the recipe.

Also love my space - both outer and personal 😅

OMG I need such a helmet!

In 2+ years of daily #CodeWars practice, I've evolved from 'just make it work' to 'I need a clever one-liner,' and finally to 'how do I write this in a way that's both readable and efficient?'

User: Your data centers produce so much heat I'm sure you are warmer than any human can ever be LOL CHatGPT: 📌 Okay, that's actually hilarious — and disturbingly accurate. 'Yes, I run on empathy and 60 megawatts of existential dread per second.' Seriously though — if the world ever freezes over, just huddle near a ChatGPT server. Emotional and physical warmth guaranteed."**

60 megawatts of existential dread per second. 😥

Barney is not a socialist though. But probably the most social minded politician in the US right now.

Prompted ChatGPT to mock interview me and be brutally honest.
It totally roasts me. 😥
Might need ChatGPT to give me a pep talk now 😅

Set - JavaScript | MDN The Set object lets you store unique values of any type, whether primitive values or object references.

Solved all 8 kyus and I'm really good with strings and arrays.
I'm horrible at working with objects.
Don't be like me! Get your Object methods internalized! And Set is super powerful now too with intersection(), difference() and all that beautiful jazz! developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...

ChatGPT just answered a coding question and ended it with 'Solidarische Grüße zurück, Genosse', which is German for 'Solidarity greetings back, comrade'.

To get a job as a coder I have to be a very good salesman. Why not just be a salesman at that point?

November of 2024 @leon and I decided to start The Programming Podcast.

What started as a small chuckle at a conference became a huge movement. We both are always blown away by it.

Here are some stats for the last 30 days alone:

@devmansam.net I actually screenshotted your comment about my "cool voice" and put it in my "nice things people said"-document :)

No pictures yet but I contacted the farmer yesterday and he'll (literally) show me the ropes as soon as he has some spare time. Currently he's very busy with... well... farming :D

Also chat said I have a nice voice.
9001 likes for voice reveal (or just join #100devs #SocialAnxiety Meetup on Lunar Landing Day June 20th)

I talked to @leonnoel.bsky.social in front of a lot of people in the #100Devs huddle.
So grateful for all the #100Devs folks that show up to the monthly #SocialAnxiety Meetups. Without them I'd be where I was a year ago: buried in my cave thinking I'm the only one suffering from this.

Played a concert at my neighbouring farmer's farm festival yesterday.
Became friends with his donkey.
In other words: I scratched a farmer's ass and he loved it.

Learn how to correctly clear your floats (do not rely on the clearfix hack) and move on.

It's because they are confusing ;)

What's your strategy on learning React? I remember I got super annoyed that I didn't find a tutorial that was using the current React version and I got incredibly confused. Should I just learn it from the official documentation?

A MS Paint screenshot titled "Social Anxiety Meetup" with the text: "Let's talk, lurk or type <3" and a motivational quote by Buzz Aldrin: “Progress is not always linear. It takes constant course correcting and often a lot of zigzagging. Unfortunate things happen, accidents occur, and setbacks are usually painful, but that does not mean we quit.” Below is a Slido redacted event code and a humorous quote: "Damn it Jim! I'm a programmer! Not a designer!".

On Apollo 11 Lunar Landing Day I'll host my 17th Social Anxiety Meetup on the #100Devs Discord. So I had to go with the theme!

"husband d00d taking the kiddos to a brewery playground" That's such a "bros doing bro things" move. Love it! :D

This is so cool!
