I forget how much goes into moving across states. my to do list is never ending

Very excited to be a Portlandian now, but I miss my bay area friends like crazy. It's lonely out here

didn't think I'd enjoy ghost of tsushima as much as I am. Great game, fun gameplay loop, interesting story, fantastic graphics.

My music project moves forward. A sense of relief and purpose.

Remote work has spoiled me. I dont know if I can ever adjust to commuting and going back into an office.

The instability that comes with doing contract work can be an anxiety inducing soul crushing mess sometimes

Sucks to be interviewing for positions again so soon. As stated before, the job insecurity that contract work entails really sucks.

Finally working on personal projects again. Building a rly cool full stack app right now for something I wish I actually had- good ideas come from necessity

Doing front end work is so funny. The strangest things will excite me. For example: I'm v proud of the 404 page I designed and im excited for ppl to see it

can we talk about how good the logo for Material UI is? crushed it on the design.

it is SO HOT in portland and im sitting at home doing take home assessments and coding and im getting so tired of the job search . I need a motivational ice cream.

finally joining a gym post-pandemic. haven't been to one since march 2020. definitely got some catching up to do!

A boring dystopia

Still here, still an engineer, still detest posting on social media most times.

nothing like struggling with a ticket for 4 hours and having your senior dev solve it in 10 minutes, while half- paying attention. some days I feel like I am excelling at my craft, and other times like this I feel like a tiny baby

Look ma, I'm a real engineer! healthdatamovers.com/insights/ask-a…

life updates bc i forget to log into this acct all the time: - went from being a contractor to a FTE full stack eng with my current company - caught & (mostly) recovered from covid -making art & music again daily -became obsessed with 3d art and AI art -learning blender slowly

My mind is blown by port-forwarding and dev options on mobile devices/chrome. Testing mobile app on my actual phone through my local env is so easy! #Google #chromedevtools #SoftwareEngineering

Not gonna lie, after layoffs in late 2023 and having zero luck applying for any and all software positions (even with 3 YOE) my mental health has not been great. Even considering a career pivot, since things don't seem to be improving in 2024 (quite the opposite)
