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🫂

Anyway. Fixed 🫂

💯

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 👌

🤔…Microsoft?

In my dreams - yes 😄
But ask me again in a few months

I’ll be living in BelleVUE (!) btw 🥹😄

Thanks 😊

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 slowly returning from the most wonderful vacation of my life 💕✨🥂

Let’s see what I’ve missed on the «internets» 🫣

sorry for your loss 💔

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 🤝💁🏻‍♀️

I worked way too late last night, again- what’s wrong with me 🤣😭

Может она уволилась 😁

А если серьезно - там на сайте можно забукать выезд специалиста, в профиле. Я давно не пользовалась, но говорят, что сервис удобный 🫣

Ooooo WOW!! 🫨🥳🥹
This month has been wild! In the best way!
Congratulations many times 💚

What can we expect next week? 👀😅

People told me: “You can relax now!”.
But in reality - +100500 new things to finish.

tick tock, tick tock ⌛️

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.

Thanks!
So interesting!

I expected more heated discussion under the post 😅

Ohsh these days have been a lot. I’m just like: 🫡🫡🫡 focusing on making it through.

And I just want to give a virtual hug to all the good people out there 🫂

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 😕
