Did they come with sprinkles on the frosting? Asking for a friend.

They had the frosting I think it had confetti colours but I would not describe as sprinkles

Bummer, the plain old Blueberry is my favorite

I know I might seem like a heathen to some. I just remembered, as a kid, having toasted, I frosted blueberry pop tarts and a glass of chocolate milk.

IT'S A THREE OFFER FRIDAY! I feel incredibly lucky to be entertaining multiple job offers.

One company made it an extremely easy decision!

I'm starting in early February at an awesome new job. Will make it official soon!

In the meanwhile, I'm taking a React deep dive after being out of the pool for awhile. Time to drink the kool-aid....

I had two wins:

  • Gave a short talk (5-7 min) in front of 50+ people for the first time. Was very nervous but it went really well. Even enjoyed it! Should try it again :)
  • Published a new VS Code extensions and wrote about it.

Congrats on the public speaking. It’s so hard the first time, glad to hear it went well enough to tempt you to go again!

Thanks. I've been having thoughts about trying public speaking for some time now. And the only way to find out if this is something for me or not is by seizing the opportunity. A colleague helped me with the preparation. So far so good. Looking forward to the next one :)

Since the new year I've been focusing on doing stuff to have more energy and vitality throughout the day. The basics: eat well, sleep well and exercise daily. This week so far I've worked out every morning, 5/5 days 😁. That's my big win this week πŸ˜€πŸ‘

Keep at it, there is no limit to how much these kinds of changes can improve your life.

One book I would recommend checking out if you haven't seen it yet is The Compound Effect. It really drives home the point that small improvements over time can grow into huge gains if you just stick with them.

Nice! Do be wary of working out daily, though. You may not feel it your first week, but it will exhaust you more than it will help you (and won't give your muscles the rest they need to grow).

You definitely hit on something... The 2020s could be the era of the postmodern JavaScript framework.

Yeah, it will be interesting to see what happens in the JavaScript and the web over the next few years.

I had an amazing farewell party party organised by my colleagues, lots of kind words, tears and presents that show they really know me 😊 I'm going to miss them in my new job!

Followed the next day by giving my first talk of the year, and getting some awesome feedback both in person by people after the talk and on LinkedIn the following day.

Ready to prep for the new job now!
