Thank you! Great to hear there's hope for some incremental rest even though we'd never have it like the days before them. I'm still celebrating going from 3-hour feeding windows to 4-hours.

As a new parent to a 2 month old, I'm always imagining that it may get easier soon but all the evidence from other parents says soon is a long way to go. soon is 18+ years

I'd learned about it through jQuery too. I was so use to it from jQuery days that when I switched to using the DOM API, I had tried it and it worked

One of the most consistently neglected parts of todayโ€™s user experiences is our handling of errors. Weโ€™re so busy designing the happy paths through our products that we often forget to give the same care and attention to the times when things will go wrong

Quick #CSS #3D carousel on @codepen.io: codepen.io/thebabydino/...

Auto-rotates on load, but it can also be paused and navigated through via the buttons.

Minimal JS. All 3D is CSS. Heavily commented.

To me, it's like checking out a new app every 3 months when I remember it or if a link leads me to it.

I connect with a few people, read a couple posts, then forget it again.

I've been saying I want this for so long :D . lbvs . I do a lot of functional fitness making myself useful around the house but doing some equivalents of what an exercise at the gym would do

I'm struggling with this Monday. My brain is all over the place. It's like I forgot how to do my work after 2 weeks of break

First day of work for the year! I realize I don't get on platforms like Bluesky/Twitter when I'm off work. I think I've sorta associated them with work even though I'm not always writing about work or consuming work-related content.

I must've missed out on the Alf trend. I don't know what that label is about. I just subscribed to the labeler but I wish it linked to example posts/accounts where I could see the label applied.

Btw, never knew these existed

The BlueSky/Twitter split feels like I'm living in a multiverse of madness. I keep wondering, will there ever be a sacred timeline (app) that everyone is on again? Is it just going to be this divided forever? Like we accept that we'll miss out on some good accounts over there

I remember when you could just buy a computer program like Microsoft Word or Photoshop and just have it on your computer forever without having to pay monthly or yearly. What a time that was

I love my life a lot more now than I used to a couple years back when I really needed escapism.

However, I could still use some immersion in fantasy and maybe an occasional escape of the realities of my laborious existence caused by the pursuit of financial freedom

I loved Temsโ€™ response to someone who asked her why Afrobeats donโ€™t touch much of the political situations in Africa. The genre is about escapism.

Even when listening to other genres, I really love getting lost in the fantasy of the melody

Thatโ€™s beautiful. Iโ€™ve dedicated my life to learning endlessly. Iโ€™ve had this as my instagram bio since forever.
I asked my electrician enough questions that I got good enough at my home electrical, same with plumbing, floor installation, drywall, but also Iโ€™ve been so into learning history

Last night I assembled 2 separate pieces of furniture. For the first I was like what kind of trash is this with misaligned assembly holes. I packed it up and took to UPS for return even though theyโ€™d closed. Next was such fine piece with good assembly instructions it made me crush on wood
