From the other side… we expected our home belongings from NL at the beginning of December…hopefully, we will receive them around January 🤞
And they forgot to arrange something 🥲
With Dutch services, I usually had to multiply the promised time by at least 2

Maybe not their fault, but… suspicious 😒

Tomorrow will be 2 weeks in the U.S.
It’s still early, but it feels like a parallel reality or different planet- familiar, yet VERY different (like football 😁 or the same food brands tasting different)

#1 I noticed : the service here understands the concept of underpromising and overdelivering🫂

I’m still waiting for the day AI finally fixes all these broken websites and services I/you/we have to use 🕰️

Just like many people promised it would 👌

No worries - a year from now I might be on a different continent again, you never know 👀😄

📦 Moving to the US soon 🇺🇸 🥂 - so I’m selling a few things we *very unfortunately* can’t take with us.

You know… in the US, the power standard is different (something like 110-120V vs 230-240V in Europe), so some electronics aren’t compatible without bulky adapters 🥲🥲🥲

I will post it here 🔜

Every once in a while I try to make a purchase on the mobile version of the website - and nothing works 🙃

It’s an absolute nightmare. I hope their analytics will just say that customers «prefer» desktop

What if everything started going wrong the moment I stopped watching Star Wars every year… I stopped doing this about 5-6 years ago 👀🫣

I hope not!

Страшно делать громкие заявления, пока этого не случилось, но - да, скорее всего в США.

Посмотрим как пойдет 🫣😅

After 1,5 years of pain and chemotherapy, my mom passed away today. I want to share this with someone, but I’m not ready to talk about it.

Just 59 years old. So unfair.

(no need to say anything please)

I almost never go to my GP (it’ll go away by itself), but when I do - only if I’m in real pain - I wait about 2 weeks for the GP appointment, and then at least another 1,5 months for a specialist (aka real doctor 😁)

There are many good things in the Netherlands, but not this one

Reshaped is now open-source - Reshaped After five years of closed-source, Reshaped is finally open for all – both in React and Figma.

When starting Reshaped, having a paid license kept me going but also felt wrong sometimes. I wanted to give back more to the community. After 5 years – it is finally happening. Reshaped React and Figma libraries are now open-source.

I’m going to have at least 4 farewell parties - one for each full year I’ve been at the company 😁
Tomorrow is the second one 🤝💁🏻‍♀️

Дай знать, если нужно еще промо-кодов :)
Пока в очень крутой сабатикал на месяц-два 🤣

Потом будет понятнее, скорее всего что-то на US/UK маркете (если получится)

I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished at my current company, and I feel it’s the right time to move on. I’ve sent my resignation letter - just one more month 🤝👩🏻‍💼

Will see what’s next 🪄

I learned a lot, honestly - really happy I did it. Kind of a bummer, though: they don’t give out physical cards/certificates anymore, just a digital document.

So interesting!

I expected more heated discussion under the post 😅

Has anyone tried using a11y audits via BrowserStack in CI/CD? It seems to have quite some false positive issues, which makes me think it’s not as good as they try to market it 😕
