I know what you are trying to do, I guess you have good intentions ? but really your still just waving the giant bright red flag that says “we are probably going to have to lay people off”

Tuesday's Question for #Builders

What's a tool or library you were skeptical about but ended up loving?
#programming #devlife

Does anyone still publish a personal #blog for the purpose of looking for side work? Not a marketing site, but a site outlining the current types of projects they're working on or thinking about? Does it achieve that purpose?

It's wild how dependent I've become on remote infrastructure. Reconnecting today is top priority.
